Personal Aside: Your Assignment Today—Peruse the Readers’ Comments for Yesterday—All 34 or So of Them (at Last Count Monday Night)…and to Most Critics a Challenge.

Delicious, Salacious Reading.

Since I’ve given you down below another 2,300 words to read on Hubert along with my kids and grandchildren, I won’t bother you with much more to read here. But I would advise you to get your kicks by reading the highly spiked and flavorful objections in Readers’ Comments to yesterday’s “Personal Aside.” There you will be told that I am a traitor to my party, to my country, evil, insensate, unfair, a ten-twinkie eater, gross, obese and a great sinner (with one Ron Paul devotee, Jason Acebal invoking prayers for my soul after my grave transgression in writing the critique of the Saturday Paul for President rally). Including a diatribe from one odd revisionist historian whom I hired earlier to make a speech for dough to Chicago “Legatus” which he accepted with alacrity (and which he probably regrets but not enough to return the honoraria), the aghast Dr. Thomas Woods…who tells us all quite apropos of nothing that he goes to Latin Mass…which can only be logical to this Paleo (for Paleos I prefer Tom Fleming and Chris Check). But be assured that prayers and Latin Mass attendance are very relevant to the discussion I launched.

Among the critics who extol their courage in going to the mat in behalf of Dr. Paul, it is noteworthy that very-very few sign their names…including that manly judge of everything treasonous who punctuates his views in capital letters but who has not yet found the courage to sign his name, relying simply on “Lawrence.” I salute Jason Acebal and Dr. Woods for signing their names and urge the doughty Lawrence and others to muster up the courage to do the same. And to the lady who cited Roman Catholic canon law to attest that I am indeed in sin for insulting the unnamed 1,000--my thanks…and recommendation that you look up your Baltimore Catechism circa 1933.

Finally, look at the ill-temper and name-calling appended thereto and tell me if criticisms of any of the other presidential candidates in this website have gotten such belligerent response No. Why is that? Why the bitterness here? Must be there is something different about the Ron Paul people from the Chicago rally, no? We knew that already. But let me issue a challenge.

After all with Ron Paul elected president, this is going to be a brave, new world of freedom, isn’t it? Freedom of everything with no wars or taxes to distract you from the Internet? Why not celebrate the new day dawning by freely summoning up the guts to give your full…and truthful…names? After all, freedom to present your true identity should go hand-in-hand with the courage to back Ron Paul, shouldn’t it?

That should be foremost among all the beneficial pleasures to come from Dr. Paul’s election to the presidency…foremost, that is, after the great goal to “legalize freedom.” And we know what that means, don’t we buckos? Freedom to snuffle pot, hashish and crack and allowi that blue smoke to luxuriate over your lip and waft you on high without the cops running you down. Ah, the courageous self-indulgent New Age beckons with such vigor. Now in testimony to the New Age of Indulgence, crackpo—er, conservatives, why not give your true names on this Readers’ Comments, this very day? Starting with Lawrence.

Dare ya.
