This is a parody right no one could sincer--

May 4, 2012The Pokemon theme is a perfect song for the Ron Paul Revolution, as he racks up the delegates. Almost all the original lyrics fit as is. I Sang the original theme song in 1998 and thought this would be a great update on a classic. Share if you care. There are MILLIONS of Pokemon fans who'll join the revolution. Go Ron Paul!

Making money off libertarians is pretty easy, just put together a few "End the..." and then one of the following:

Nanny State
Fed
Food stamps program
Obama Presidency
Subsidies on alternate energy
War on Drugs
War on Poverty
War on Crime
Civil Rights Act
Gay Rights Movement
Roe v. Wade ruling
corporate tax rate
Estate Tax

Enjoy your millions and millions of totally earned dollars as you are a capitalist superman.

Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

I am definitely not a tankie.

i really wish i knew how ayn rand was so succesful despite being terrible at everything, from interpersonal relationships to philosophy to writing. she really must have had an incredible force of will or something

She was apparently very charismatic with her the way she spoke. Much like Adolf Hitler or David Koresh, (Godwin, I know, but it's a good example here) her influence came not from actual intellect or understanding, but in giving the impression of it to others. Absolute steadfast belief in your worldview has shown itself time and again ti be very persuasive, even if based on absolute fabrications and rationalizations. In short, she was a cult leader, whose worship of selfishness and greed attracts those who want to feel good about being terrible people.

Sadly a great many of them turned out to be in the finance sector

Making money off Leftists is pretty easy, just put together some key words like "people", "workers", "oppressors" and people will make you supreme dictator for life.


Enjoy being able to kill, enslave, and oppress all of your citizens on a whim living in the lap of luxury and people even decades later will defend the gently caress out of you.

Painting a bit broad with the 'leftist' designation there but alright

Wait, if it's a trilogy based on that one book, wouldn't the 3rd half just be that 180 minute monologue? Who needs to be cast other than a John Galt that doesn't get drymouth?

So Marco Rubio is definitely out then.

It's because of her accent. Americans make fun of Europe, but deep down they all want to suck the cock of somebody talking dirty to them with an european accent.

The speech alone encompasses three CD's in the audiobook. It's nearly 200 minutes long.
