    What William's Musa wrote.

    Context. It's important.

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

    Our words make us the ghosts that we are.

    Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.

    Where is the poll? Okay. You're relatively new here. When you make a new post you can include an actual poll where people can vote and it automatically tallies the results.
    9/11 Thermate experiments

    Winston Churchhill on why the U.S. should have stayed OUT of World War I

    "I am so %^&*^ sick of this cult of Ron Paul. The Paulites. What is with these %^&*^ people? Why are there so many of them?" YouTube rant by "TheAmazingAtheist"

    "We as a country have lost faith and confidence in freedom." -- Ron Paul

    "It can be a challenge to follow the pronouncements of President Trump, as he often seems to change his position on any number of items from week to week, or from day to day, or even from minute to minute." -- Ron Paul

    Very favorable - For the memes
    Somewhat favorable - Looks - I find him oddly attractive.
    Neither favorable nor unfavorable - I'm neutral here.
    Somewhat unfavorable - I wouldn't call him a good person.
    Very unfavorable - KGB

    I like! Okay.

    Very favorable - For the memes (Yeah I agree)
    Somewhat favorable - Looks - I find him oddly attractive. I'm not gay so can't comment. But somewhat favorable because he knows judo. Every world leader should know how to fight and we should settle differences in cage matches. I also like that he helped stop our march to regime change in Syria

    I'm not sure if you can edit your post to include one. Plus, every time there's a poll, you get a bunch of jerks saying, "Poll needs more options".

    I was certain he could kick Obama's ass and I'm pretty certain he could kick Trumps too..

    He seems to be pro-Christian...

    Other than those superficial observations I don't know enough to form an opinion....
