The best part is I can see the humor of alot of his posts after meeting him. A nicer, quieter person you would be hard pressed to find......................realy..............no kidding.

I'm not at all surprised. Some folks are just very uneasy with new or different ideas. I don't agree with much of FastPat's ideology but he's bright, articulate and states his position well. Bothers me when people attempt to shout him down. They are just ideas. How scary can they be?

Jeez, the results are kinda unanimous. Maybe I better think of another '06 award categorie. This time a positive one. Any suggestions?

I never form an opinion of anyone on here based on their posts with the exception of one who wished bad things happen to me because I did not agree with him.

That said, Procon and I met for drinks the other night and the topic and we were discussing how different people are in person vs. the internets.

Pat and RickV and BertBeagle to name a few were super cool guys to meet in person. RickV is probably one of the most intense persons you'll ever meet and you'll walk away exhausted. Pat is pretty laid back and a very cool guy.

Its too bad you let his posts on here make you hate him so much. I met a really cool guy that is fun to hang around with.

Jim, your $5. is in the mail as I show this to my wife and daughter and anyone else I run into.

Joking aside, Jim is right. All the guys listed above, including Pat and others not mentioned are wonderful people to be around. We all spent a long weekend together in the mountains of NC with wives / girlfriends. I know by the constant smiles and laughter that everyone had a great time and felt they were mixing with quality people.

Pat really is very laid back and cool. I really enjoyed his company and I never heard politics discussed. I agree with some of his views and not with others - but I look forward to and will enjoy seeing him and all the others at the next Dragon meet and I bet politics never come up in the conversations.

Thank God we are all different.

Speaking of Pat did anyone notice the thread where he posted the link to OldPictures.com? Cool site and non political. I spent 3 hours there after reading his post.

Idea - come to the Dragon next fall and meet Pat and the others. You will meet some great people.

Pat may be the nicest guy in the world in person, but I'm not planning on going to NC to meet him, so the only way I can judge him is by his actions on this forum, and, on the forum he is a jerk.
He is sophomoric to anyone who disagrees with him. His retorts of adult ma$turbation, calling adults "boys" his insults to anyone that doesn't have all day to find,cut,and paste to his logic as us being stupid, well all of that is enough for me to make an impression of him.
I don't fear his idea's or his Lew Rockwell pastes, but when he openly calls for the deaths of American men and women serving this country he can go to He!!.
I have great respect for the people that volunteer (and no Pat it's not slavery!) and I support them. They don't make policy, they are just doing the job they volunteered to do and we should be supporting them.
So the ten people that have met him say he's great, well of the thousands of people that have read some of his cut and pastes and his idiotic, repulsive responses to them, his total lack of respect for anyone on this board who disagrees with him to me equals a jerk!
Anyone notice how he disappeared after someone with the authority to ban him from the board spoke up. Seems his responses are weighted to whether you can effect him, and that to me is a coward!
Just my two cents

If his hair was on fire....I would not waste the urine to hose him off. There are limits to what one can say/post and have any reasonable expectation of forgiveness. He has far exceeded that by calling for the death of his countrymen at the hand of terrorists. That is lower than the stuff one scrapes from their shoe.

[lendaddy]

Are you guys saying Pat doesn't mean it when he says our boys should be killed and other such garbage? It's some kind of Tabsesque joke?

That's exactly it. I'm sure it was just like his advocation of blowing up the Pentagon and White House - just a jape, a harmless jest.

I'm sure Tim McVeigh was a nice enough guy to grill burgers and drink beer with too.

Where did Pat go??

WELL SAID

Someone else described him as a sociopath, (I can't take credit for that) that is exactly what he was on the web. I have no interest in meeting someone like that even if they are miss goody f___in two shoes in person. Life is too short to spend time on *********s like that.

Sorry, If I know he will be somewhere, I'm staying home or just going for a drive in the pcar myself.

"To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded."

To call our Pelican meet Klan like is sort of in poor taste....

Jim,

League-of-the-South = Klan-lite. (As in racist, but without being overt.) I was not making any reference to your get together.

Until I read your one sentence quoted above, I had no clue what you were going off about.

It dawns on me that most in POT have probably never heard of the "League of the South". Heck, most southerners have never heard of them. They're a very small group. In a nutshell their agenda is to create a separate White-Anglo-Saxon Protestant south. To this end they propose ideas that recast the past. Examples are:
* The civil war was actually an unconstitutional revolution of Federalism.
* Slaves in the south were happy and prosperous.
* Lincoln was evil.
* The USA is consumed with Imperialism.

Do the topics sound familiar?
