An olive branch to Ron Paul supporters
Can't we all get along?

Kicking Paultards to the curb
Come back! Bring Haiku”
So over the last few days, we've been inundated (or is it infested?) with calls to allow Ron Paul supporters to participate here at RedState. We've had others misread Leon's post (with really impressive obtuseness) as a hatred of all lovers of liberty.
But at the same time, no one recognizes more than we do the raw passion that folks have for Ron Paul. The creativity to spot a Zionist conspiracy around every corner has to be worth something, too.
So we decided that yes, new Ron Paul-supporting comments do have a place here at RedState. So starting now - the floodgates are open. Sort of. You may shill for Ron Paul, with one condition: you must do it using the form of Japanese poetry known as Haiku. Failure to comply makes it easy to delete the comments and diaries - so have at it.
UPDATE: This offer good for the comments in *this post only.*

Ahem. And yes, the eighth line needs something.
I will admit our schools have taught us all
To think the poet's craft beyond our art,
But that is foolish; as both great and small
Can find the words sunk deep within their heart;
And though the prospect, true, might some appall
There is no harm in daring to impart
The thoughts and hopes that come with siren's call
For with small steps, do greatest journeys start.
So Ronulans, pick up your pens and write!
Call forth to work, your version of the Muse;
And tell us then, with all your spleen and spite
Your... novel... take upon the daily news!
Make sure you speak of fiscal theories trite;
If that won't work, just yell about the Jooooooooos.

Here's my Haikus from an anti-Paul perspective:
I do not know how
Ron Paul has supporters
who believe this crap.
or perhaps:
Neo-cons are still
The lesser of two evils
When compared to Paul.

Your comments do ZERO good. It makes you just look undisciplined. Come discuss...but this is spam. For heavens sake and I mean this nicely...step back and think about cause and effect. Are the posts you are throwing up going to have the effect that you want.
The answer is no...it will not have the effect you want.
Check the subject matter of the OP.
Sun melts morning snow;
Fuel burning can't melt steel beams,
Therefore, Vote Ron Paul

There once was a Congressman from Texas
Who looked to the Constitution for redress.
But when he dared cite it,
The Republicans did smite it,
And America's Founders in the process.
There once was a party of Lincoln
Which historically won on strength and non-intervention.
Some got confused,
And summoned their war hawk muse,
And now the party's synonymous with aggression.
There once was a big tent party,
Which claimed to embrace its factions heartily.
But then came the '08 horse race,
When many of its stallions the Veruca Salts did hate,
Leaving the coalition bedraggled and frowzy.
In the blogosphere there are certain sites
Which claim to support certain types.
But if the libertarians go dissentin'
Then they won't be lettin'
Nothing but negative XXX XXXX blogs be hyped.
The supporters of Doctor Paul
Have the unmitigated gall
To come to this website
And take a grand Shi'ite
Then wipe it all over the wall.

Square brackets their swords,

They ban 'til blood flows.
- Rivulets of thought course darkly
On barren dusty plains of hope
Nothing echoes so loud as dreams
Poignantly absurd, fruitless, dead
All cry out for futures bright and secret
Uselessly reaching
Longing
Gray besets gold, attacks
Others beseige strongholds of liberty
Animals, they rend, we suffer
Where is the light of tomorrow?
Angry, hidden by a past scorned
Yet, morning dawns anew
I'm like the little brother who never gets the joke till you explain it the hard way. But now that you've pointed it out.....

My school switched primarily to teaching Pascal in about 1985. I graduated before the cutover, in '84, and I learned IBM Assembler, PL/I and FORTRAN (mostly PL/I). I took one COBOL class, but I only had to write one program the whole semester (teacher was not the greatest...), and to this day, I've written only that one COBOL program. I read a LOT of code in my job, but write little. I spent about a year writing Pascal also, way long ago.
These days, I prefer Java and PHP, but my heart is still in Assembler...
