What does this question mean?
Have you ever FELT like you've been Rickrolled without actually being Rickrolled?
Wonder if these Texans still agree with President Reagan..
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
Doubt it now..or maybe not.

Good one, bringing that up.
A sound good right wing meme, one of their many. Sounds good, then the real world steps in.
Have we seen Texans yelling "We don't want your help, GO AWAY?" Won't happen.

I had to google "rick rolling" as I had never heard the expression before. I am shocked that after years of posting you would think I would sink to trolling 
When the usual suspects on MOL pounced on a comment of mine, I had a vision of someone leaving a virtual gate open. Simple.

As always, when I respond to someone else, you assume I'm responding to you.

say what?
Because it obviously has to be spelled out...
This: What does this question mean?
Was a response to you saying this: who let the gate open?
But this: Have you ever FELT like you've been Rickrolled without actually being Rickrolled?
Was a response to drummerboy saying this: that's how the dogs got out.
It immediately put this song
in my head which is why I felt like I had been Rickrolled, but with a different song.
So there's no need to take it personally, because I wasn't responding to you at all in that post.
Is that clear enough?
If it's any consolation, ridski, I thought it was funny, and not insulting to anyone.

Me too
Even the Trumps are in on it:
http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/19/politics/melania-trump-michelle-obama-speech/index.htm
"Never gonna let you down?
In an even stranger twist, some on social media posited that Trump surreptitiously Rickrolled -- a common Internet meme involving singer Rick Astley -- everyone in the middle of her speech. "He will never give up," she said of her husband. "And most importantly, he will never, ever let you down." The chorus of the 80s classic sounds very similar: "Never gonna give you up/ Never gonna let you down/ Never gonna run around and desert you." A bit of background -- Rickrolling is where you get someone to unwittingly click on a link to the video of the Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up." So, for example, if someone were to tell you to click here, saying it's another article about Melania Trump, and you click on that link, you would be taken to an Astley video and thus have been Rickrolled."

MOL is so educational. I will now Google Rick Astley.
Well, do you remember Rick Astley?
He had a big fat hit, it was ghastly.
He said I'm never gonna give you up or let you down.
Well I'm here to tell ya that Dick's a clown.
Though he was just a boy when he made that vow, I'd bet it all that he knows by now.
From the song "All Men Are Liars" by Nick Lowe

It occurs to me that, if you take away the begrudging of suffering people, there isn't much left of American conservativism (other than racism and homophobia).
