I just realized the OP still posts here....how embarrassing this must be. He STILL hasn't responded.
lol
It's OK though; most of the people whom I was originally thinking of when I started this thread have metamorphosised into the white supremacist/"Alt Right" horror that we all have come to know so well. Which makes sense when you think about it, since Ron Paul himself is basically a neo-Confederate (remember those newsletters??). This is what happens when you think civil rights/human rights are subordinate to (private) property rights.
But don't worry, I don't see you as being part of the aforementioned group! Even if you are a contrarian Gen X'er with terrible politics, you're certainly no "deplorable."
Wow! You're so smart that humor(including irony) is lost on you!!!
