While I’m busy bashing Ron Paul…did anyone see the latest from the Paul Bearers? Paulville!
A group of ardent backers of Ron Paul, the maverick congressman and Republican presidential candidate, are flocking to Paulville.org, a Web site that promises to help them set up exclusive residential enclaves open only to the like-minded — presumably to help them replicate in the physical world the comfortable feeling they’ve experienced online, of being fenced-off from the rest of us.
The Times’ blog has a clip from Ron Paul Television — Ron Paul television??? — highlights include:
…what would make people want to give up their jobs and move to Paulville?
(laughs) Freedom and liberty?
I don’t know! I mean, that’s basically it, to be around other supporters and to be in a town that is of supporters of freedom and liberty? Kind of a freedom and liberty oriented town?
…it can’t be a town, it has to be privately held, because then you can control who can and can’t come into it, so if somebody, let’s say somebody comes in that’s a…a…total socialist and wants to come in and rock the boat, you could say, no! This is privately held, you can’t come in!
I wonder if they have a plan for booting anyone out that deviates from the officially sanctioned version of Freedom and Liberty over time.
Hilarious.

That whole Paulville stuff is borderline comical / scary.
We get it - you people like Ron Paul. You dont need to move into a gated community with like minded people to prove it.
