Right, because indefinite detention without trial, and less free speech and protesting rights are a great step toward real freedom and liberty.

Boohooing about enemy combatants locked up in Guantanimo is a strawman argument, they are not covered by the Constitution.

I wasn't talking about Guantanamo, I was talking about NDAA where any American can be classified as an "enemy combatant" on the will of Government and not a court. And actually, Americans are covered by the constitution. Read #6 and #7 in the Bill of Rights.

If you are an enemy combatant you are no longer a citizen aka "American".
You didn't think that one through too well.

Do you have the numbers???
Or am I just supposed to believe that he "won"???
Ron Paul's main goal right now is to reduce the amount of delegates Romney gets...he was projected to get 5 out of Louisiana...so if Romney gets more than 5, that is a win for Romney.

Technique #3 - 'TOPIC DILUTION'
Topic dilution is not only effective in forum sliding it is also very useful in keeping the forum readers on unrelated and non-productive issues. This is a critical and useful technique to cause a 'RESOURCE BURN.' By implementing continual and non-related postings that distract and disrupt (trolling ) the forum readers they are more effectively stopped from anything of any real productivity. If the intensity of gradual dilution is intense enough, the readers will effectively stop researching and simply slip into a 'gossip mode.' In this state they can be more easily misdirected away from facts towards uninformed conjecture and opinion. The less informed they are the more effective and easy it becomes to control the entire group in the direction that you would desire the group to go in. It must be stressed that a proper assessment of the psychological capabilities and levels of education is first determined of the group to determine at what level to 'drive in the wedge.' By being too far off topic too quickly it may trigger censorship by a forum moderator.
Dilution, Misdirection, and control of an internet forum
CONCLUSION
Remember these techniques are only effective if the forum participants DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THEM.

No one is engaging in anything other than debate. If Paul fans can't stand people questioning their Dear Leader they should stop posting on public fora.
The whole, "the world is out to get Ron Paul due to his sheer undeniable awesomeness" schtick is sooo lame.
