Ron Paul for President! Vive la Constitucion!

Aaron had a great idea for a design that could be used both to:

Support a good cause, and . . .
Piss off heavy-hitting socialists

What was this grand idea? Take the Che Guevara, high contrast image everyone is all too familiar with and replace Guevara's likeness with none other than the beloved, much-maligned-and-ignored-by-the -MSM, last-and-only-hope-for-the-United-States-of -America, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas!

This weekend, armed with nothing but a google image search, a little time alone of the computer and some handy editing software, I had the chance to make Aaron's dream a reality. Yes, in lieu of posting something substantial (at least I'm posting again!), I bring you this design.

And if you find yourself exclaiming, "That would make a totally badass t-shirt," curse the gods no further (Version 1 - two-sided and 2 - one-sided):

You can get one for the measly price of $8.00 (Version 2 - Version 1 with two sides is only $10) at my new GoodStorm.com store, AnarchyWare (Do you think that is subtle enough?)!

By the way, I have officially ditched my pseudo- pseudonym, "Neal". I'll now be using my first name, Justin. One guess as to why

i would totally buy one, but you need to put the same design that's up there on the front of the shirt - his image and the words underneath. and bigger than on that t-shirt. can you do all that? if so, i'm totally buying one of these bad boys.

umm... i'm off to search for the reason you ditched "neal" now. wish me luck.

Ah - figured out why it was showing up so small on the tshirt and have fixed it. Also, per your request, I've created a version with everything on one side - note that I reweighted the two pieces slightly different than the above banner. Reason being, you've only got 11x14 to play with. Let me know what you think.

Version 1 (Two-sided for $10)
Version 2 (One-sided for $8)

That will make a totally badass t-shirt. Excellent work.

I'd love to take a potshot at J. Neil Schulman and guess that you are abandonding Neal just as he has abandoned SEKIII's according to the ALL (or is it MLL?). But I can only assume that in true rational decision maker fashion, you have decided that the value of having your intellectual property associated with your off-line identify outweighs the potential costs. Does this mean you've cast off the shackles of standard corporate employment?

Andy, you are a smart cat. The shackles (Stamped, "GGC") have been taken off and cast away. Freedom!

Andy,

Let's just clear the record on a few things.

1) I never threatened to use the State against anyone on the MLL list.

2) Another member of the MLL list threatened to go to court to take the MLL list out of the control of the people SEK3 had put in charge of it.

3) No one has been banned from the MLL list.

4) Both the original MLL list and the new Left-Libertarian 2 list are doing fine.

5) The ALL is doing fine.

And, if anyone cares, I organized the first conferences on CounterEconomics (CounterCon I and CounterCon II) and I wrote the first book promoting the Agorist philosophy -- which I think gives me some street cred when it comes to believing who did what to whom.

Neil

Congratulations Justin for reclaiming another piece of personal autonomy. I'll pass the t-shirt link on to any other freedom lovers I know.

As a side note, I have no beef with Neil and stay current with both lists. I found the whole dust-up quite ironic, given that we all want the same thing (freedom) and we all understand the answer (anarchy).

The one problem with this is that I don't think I have ever seen Ron Paul smile. He has that perpetual scowl.

I'm not sure I agree with that, Will. I see Paul smile all the time. Now, he is no GQ model (not that he's bad looking or anything), so I don't think he should go the route of playing up appearances. To me, that sort of behavior smacks of the sort of plasticky, superficial manipulation his opponents rely on, rather than substance. That's what he should play to: substance, principles, and in specific, restoring and defending the constitution.

Awesome design, but maybe becoming a delagate would be more productive?

I came earlier to the same conclusion this
dude has. Do you really want Ron Paul to win?

Hey, I like the guy...a lot...so don't go
jumping to conclusions. OTH, I don't want
more efficient gummint, I just want it gone.

is he really anti-choice and in favor of defining marriage between a man and a woman? that seems so, un-libertarian

Permalink 06-07-2007 @ 14:35

Comment from: Justin [Member]

I think he really is. It should be noted that there is somewhat of a division of thought on the abortion issue amongst libertarians. Ron Paul is pro-life as you note. However, I think he's also pro-States decide, which is consistent with his Constitutional approach to U.S. government.

Don't know about his marriage views although I imagine he would similarly say it's a state by state decision and that the Federal government should stay out of it. Anyone else know?

I don't really see the connection between Che and Ron Paul. Do you know what Che fought for? But hey, judging from the comments no one seems to know or care. So, power to you!

While I applaud your creativity and passion and support for Ron Paul, by mixing images of Che and Ron Paul together you send the wrong message. Che and Ron Paul couldn't be more opposite ideologically, that is just the truth. In fact, I would bet that Ron Paul would categorize Che as one of the most dangerous (and misunderstood) characters in recent history. Che was a murderer, a terrorist, and a communist. He was a victim as well but his ideas and actions are nothing to applaud. Ron Paul couldn't be more opposite than him and he shouldn't be associated with Che in any way.
