Blimps, they are so 2008. Why have a blimp when you can have it rain actual Paultards all over your New Hampshire campaign event?
Skydivers will jump from a helicopter over Derry on Sept. 29 for an aerial display and then land in a residential yard, highlighting a special question-and-answer session about the future of the nation with Presidential Candidate Ron Paul.
“When you sky dive, ultimately, you take responsibility for yourself. There’s a reward, but also risk,” Erica Layon said. “That’s the essence of Paul; if people expect to have rewards, they should be willing to take risk.”
Skydiving is self-regulated, she said, not mandated.
That’s too bad. We sort of enjoy the idea of government-mandated skydiving. [The Daily Paul]

Man, leave to the Paulites to lame up skydiving.
NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE A SUBTLE AYN RAND MESSAGE YOU FREAKS.
Did you say "subtle Ayn Rand message"? That's good.
GOOGLE FAN MAN!
it's a dorky dorky dorky dorky dorky dorky dorky dorkydorky dorky dorky dorky dorky dorky dorky dorky day, man
Michelle Bachmann supporters considered doing this too, but they couldn't afford to buy parachutes.
…or had used them already to make pants.
Actually they were going to do something similar…instead of jumping out of airplanes, they were going to use the ejector seat on a helicopter…
You mean, the hand of Jesus, wouldn't stop them from crashing into the Earth?
I think that MB's crowd could go ahead and try it without the 'chutes. More econo, don't you think?
"the essence of Paul" ? Does that come in stick or cone incense? I kinda like the stick kind better.
I believe the base ingredient is Santorum.
And if their parachutes fail to open, we'll just leave them where they land, because that's LIBERTARIAN THUG LIFE BITCHES
LET HIM DIE!
Don't worry, some church-based charity will come by and scoop up the pieces, just like the olden days.
and don't we have enough weather problems without Paultards falling from the sky?
Marcus Bachmann cues up his well worn copy of "It's Raining Men!"
It's Raining 'tards Hallelujah! – It's Raining 'tards! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely barking stupid!
I had a lady friend who's big fantasy was being reincarnating as a gay man. She would play the 45 of this at 33 1/3.
Nothing like slo-mo man-rain.
Unless you pack your own parachute and fly your own plane (before and after jumping out of it) you are not taking full responsibility, pinhead. And rather than rely on the FAA to certify who can fly . . . .
The allegory still works, here, just not the way these hobbits intended.
They also have to be flying a plane built at home, to ensure that it was untouched by any commercial aviation safety requirements that might have applied to the plane's construction. Likewise with the parachutes. I hear you can buy parachutes at target for 9.95. They're made out of tissue paper, but they're real cheap, and, well…caveat emptor!
That's what John Denver would do!
Hopefully jumping without parachutes, like the founding fathers did.
LOL, really funny dissing the noblest of men, do you shoot bb's at little kids in your spare time.
Ohhhh….to be the person packing some of those parachutes.
Too late. Marcus Bachmann has already volunteered to pack all their chutes.
As they taught us in the Army. Two things fall from the sky; bird shit and
foolzPaultards.Oh my God, they're turkeys!
As god is my witness . . . .
Nice.
It's a helicopter, and it's coming this way. It's flying something behind it, I can't quite make it out, it's a large banner and it says, uh – Ron Pauuuuullll 2012! … Read A…. Y… N….R…A…N….D!! What a sight, ladies and gentlemen, what a sight. The ‘copter seems to be circling the parking area now, I guess it's looking for a place to land. No! Something just came out of the back of the helicopter! It's, uh, a fat blob. Perhaps a skydiver. Plummeting to the earth from only two thousand feet in the air. A second, a third! No parachutes yet. Can't be skydivers… I can't tell just yet what they are, but – Oh my God, they're Paultards!! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they're plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, this is just terrible! The crowd is running around pushing each other! Oh, my goodness! Oh, the humanity! People are running about! The Paultards are hitting the ground because no one regulated their parachutes which are made of toilet paper. ! Honestly, folks I don't know how much longer… the crowd is pointing and laughing at the cosmic irony.
That was so fucking good.
Especially when you read it in the voice of Les Nessmann.
They're hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement.
I was waiting for that.
"Get off my plane!"
Waiting for one of them to do a full Peggy Hill.
you know if a Paultard falls out of the sky, it's chute fails to open, and it lands on you…it will be your fault.
If they land in the middle of the road and you drive into them, it will also be your fault.
If they land on your roof and fall into your house, it will also be your fault.
If they dangle themselves on the power lines and got electrocuted, it will be the power company's fault.
But if they land on top of a tall tree, they'd better not expect the fire department to come and save them.
What kind of morons will try to land in a residential area.
Demonstrating responsibility through foolish actions–it's the Paultard Way.
Paul should take a lesson from General Ripper and deny women his essence. men, too.
Too late. His essence ended up in Rand Paul.
ewww!!!
"You need to look out the door yourself, make sure it's safe. Ultimately, it's your responsibility, although you rely on those around you."
Someone needs to tell that to Michelle Malkin next time she is visiting the Capitol…
With Senator Inhofe piloting, what could go wrong?
Is John McCain the co-pilot?
I'm pretty sure the Essence of Paul is a mixture of KY jelly and Ben Gay.
They're right, parachuting apparently is self-regulating… but will the parachutists be certified by the USPA or some different Paul-family run association?
Of course, parachuting is perfect for showing libertarian ideals, as if it goes wrong, the participant will die, but it's very unlikely anyone else will.
You can Go Galt in a blimp
You can Go Galt with a wimp
You can Go Galt in the rain
You can Go Galt out a plane
You do not like taxes, oh gee whiz,
You do not like them Paul You Is
How big a parachute is required to safely land a souped-up Rascal + driver/occupant?
Insert stock market joke here.
It was time for a "Jump you fuckers!".
Helicopters — those are completely unregulated, right? Of course, they're so complicated and innately unstable that they wouldn't have been produced without interest and funding from the government — but that's probably not relevant somehow.
A parachute is just another example of socialism. It props up the weak from a deserved death. It flies in the face of nature because if man was meant to float safely to earth they would be much fluffier. It’s not in the bible so parachutes are inherently evil and, most of all, Ron Reagan never used a parachute.
G. H. W. Bush used a 'chute and was picked up by something long, hard, and full of seamen. He also raised taxes.
#reasonswhyreaganwasinadequate #cia
Well, a lot of teatards are quite 'fluffy'. In the Gabriel Iglesias way.
I think the 'Essence of Paul' would be something like stale coffee, mothballs and farts with a hint of camphor.
Will these morons take care to have separate parachutes for their sackload of pithily expressed quips and morbidly obese egos?
You would need those clusters of parachutes that they use for dropping tanks and such.
Whose "residential yard" is big enough for these idiots to land in? I think, more correctly, it should read "fat cat big donor's estate."
It doesn't say it's a supporter's residential yard. IT's probably just any residential yard that's where their feet happen to end up.
But — and think of the delicious irony — they land in the yard of a Freedom Loving Second Amendment supporter. Who shoots them all for trespassing.
"If at first you don't succeed… so much for skydiving"
Ummm, Paul I think this same idea can be applied to presidential aspirations.
I suspect it will end as badly as Yosemite Sam jumping out with a parachute but without the anvil.
And, of course, like the human mind, a parachute is worthless if it's not open.
It's like you know me.
Could he expand on what the reward might be? Still being alive? Or getting a hot beef injection of Paulie's very essence…..
Really, this demonstration is meaningless unless they refuse to file a flight plan and contact air traffic control while flying around. Hell, they need to make sure that their plane and pilot are unlicensed and that the plane has not had its required safety inspections. How the hell is it the Government's job to tell you how to fly? Nobody tells the birds how to do it.
There is no government involvement in aviation. Right. Without government involvement, there would be precious few airports, for one thing. Air traffic control would not exist, although there is a serious movement to privatize that aspect of the aviation industry. Already, weather reporting and flight plan filing are handled by Lockheed Martin under contract with the government, where these functions used to be performed by civil service employees. Some cities have even toyed with the idea of selling their airports (or long-term leasing them) to private corporations.
Well, they're hobbits, right? So if the chutes don't open the eagles will catch them!
Don't worry. The earth will catch them.
And now the news. Tragedy today as a group of pitchfork-wielding Teabaggers gathered in a New Hampshire field failed to notice…
I'm tired of these muthafuckin' Paultards on this muthafuckin' chopper! Get the fuck outta my chopper, Paultards!
so, they shouldn't get to the chopper?
So if they pay cut-rate prices for parachute packing and the damned things fail, well, that's just the Free Market (pbuh) at work, right?
PBUH's always get an upfist from me.
Isn't using a parachute relying on a socialist system of air pressure and fluid mechanics?Shouldn't they free jump and rely on the open gravity market to reward risk taking? Just planting seeds….
I'm still laughing at your icon.
What about newbies who jump while strapped to an instructor? And the instructor is in charge of pulling the chute? Isn't the newbie then just a socialist parasite freeloading on the instructor's hard work and devil-may-care, rugged individualism? No, Paultard, your analogy does not satisfy me at all.
"Skydiving is self-regulated, she said…."
Not exactly. The helicopter, its fuel, its pilot, the people who manufacture and prepare the parachutes, the insurance company* in the event of an accident, the airspace…. All these things are regulated by the government so when you step onto the helicopter then jump out, you can (literally) safely assume very little can go wrong.
_________________________
* insurance is a Ponzi scheme
Remember, real libertarians don't need parachutes. Market forces will ensure they land safely.
I hope those rednecks with rifles out "duck hunting" are being regulated…
saw what you will, paultards are way more fun than baggers.
"Enough IS ENOUGH. I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING PAULTARDS ON THIS MUTHAFUCKING PLANE!"
Why are we in such a pickle in the first place? Ron Paul tells us how to fix the problem by following the Constitution, in particular the parts that give the states power to make their own laws and us the power to migrate freely to any state.
The greatest benefit our government gives us BAR NONE is the ability to relocate to another state at ANY TIME with all legally acquired possessions. When our government has FEW federal powers, as it should, 99% of the body of law comes from the state you live in. What does that really mean? It means if you are a Tea Party type and want limited services and low taxes, you can move to a state that has them – whenever you want! Similarly, if you are of a more liberal persuasion, you can move to a state with single payer health insurance, paid college benefits, safety nets for the unemployed and a host of other benefits – just by moving to another state. Whether conservative, liberal or centrist you are FAR more likely to find a state run the way you'd like it than you would with a one-size-fits-all plan.
Further, the viability of these governments would also rest on the business environment they provide to business owners and consumers both. Things that cannot be made economically in a high tax state can be made in a low tax state and shipped in. High value products are more likely to be made in somewhat higher tax states because their employees are more in demand and so garner better working conditions.
The REAL point is competition. Just as competition brings us cheaper computers and cell phones, so would competition bring us better cheaper government that truly serves the end user.
I think I remember something like this from history…something about a Union and some Confederate states. I was asleep in class that day. How did it all turn out?
The North burned the South to the ground. So, splendidly.
And the people were singing
They went, "La, la, la"
You really WERE asleep – it was called the Revolution. It's what Washington fought for, maybe you remember that guy?
What a bunch of maroons!
What team did he play for?
The Boston Red Sox.
If only there were a down fist button… kidding but not really.
Maroons? I don't know about that…but I bet a lot of people think we're reds.
The Invisible Hand of Free Sovereignty is waving!
I, for one, welcome with open arms Qwikster: The Government.
Imagine the advertising campaigns! "Try Utah! 70% of the taxes of New Hampshire, with 100% percent of the corporate loopholes!"
I can't see this ending well.

The comments here are disgusting. Almost every comment I've read is childish ignorant and hateful. I hope that you guys can get beyond this immature bs someday.
stick with it till about 1:16 to see an awesome simulation for Operation: Dumbo Drop.

Where I come from we think that the Block Association makes about all the rules we wanna follow. Our cell phones and slaves are the cheapest in the world.
Wow, I haven't seen so many morons in one place. Is this the asylum for Perry and Santorum fans? LOL, the author and all you hickleberries need to get some kind of a clue!
Not to mention, the moderator is an asshat who doesn't like any views that deviate from his. What's the matter? Not up for a challenge?
Had a buddy in my platoon when I was a 'trooper with the 101st who filled his skivvies with "essence of Paul" every time we jumped.
Either Inardozi is a wordy troll practical joker, or he really missed the joke.
Paultard, so it always option 2.
Yep…I forgot that. I used to jam with a bass player who had a Paultard sticker on his instrument. He had NO sense of humor (or rhythm is turns out) I was always puzzled at how un-funky a guy would play such a funky instrument.
