Comments on: UPDATED: STRASSEL’S Non Sequitur https://barelyablog.com/strassel-non-sequitur/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Matt https://barelyablog.com/strassel-non-sequitur/comment-page-1/#comment-21363 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:31:22 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=45744#comment-21363 Thanks for this post Ilana. I’m a big Ron Paul supporter and hope he gets the nomination. That being said the man isn’t perfect and certainly isn’t beyond criticism no matter how strong the fervor of his base. He sounds utterly naive and foolish to think Islam represents no danger. It’s also somewhat disingenuous when he speaks about gay marriage. Believing that government has no role in marriage doesn’t mean you support gay marriage, but he stops after the applause instead of giving his personal opinion on it, fortunately for him most people are to dumb to realize this. It’s also weak of him to take a shot at Bachman, who is closest in ideology to Paul(Yes I realize they have huge differences) while complimenting Romney who is radically different in terms of policy.

I could argue minor points but, this time you are more clear in stating your views. I am curious about what Paul’s indiscretions are and what “Politically Correct Liberal views” are. I thought that Mr. Paul’s liberal views were simply correct views that made common sense, and had nothing to do with political correctness; however; that aside, I appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me.

The 9-11 attacks were blow back, the direct result of sixty years of misguided U.S. foreign policy, including the support and subsidization of dictators, the overthrow of national governments and, yes, unremitting support of Israel, regardless of the merits of any issue.

Although I support Israel’s right to exist and wish her well, the government of Israel has absolutely no right to highjack the American political process–and that is precisely what it has done with AIPAC.

Paul, in case one hasn’t noticed, isn’t at his best when backed into a corner. He also holds some politically correct liberal beliefs which endear him to the left but hurt him with most conservative primary voters. The powers that be in this country are tired of dealing with the gadfly in the race and are going to sic the media attack dogs on him like they did with Buchanan in 96. Let me know if you need it explained one more time Rob.

Interpret please.

It’s going to be a difficult time for right-leaning libertarians and constitutionalists as Paul expresses his undying support for the holy and untouchable MLK Jr., the joys of unlimited “legal” immigration, and the racist judicial system. Paul is far from my perfect candidate for President but I keep reminding myself that this election is about the vote against the banksters and not culture issues.

Like most on-the-make US politicians, she spends far too much of her time in Israel. We had no trouble with Jihadists until YKW wound the Zionist entity around America’s neck. Paul gets it, and that’s precisely why the bought-and-paid for Republicrat establishment and neo-con commentariat are so hatin’ on him.

[Trilby-aka-compassionate fascist: watch it with the ‘Zionist entity” stuff. You were given a reprieve on BAB, as you appealed to my push-over nature by saying that it means a lot to you in tough times to post on BAB. Keep your end of this implicit understanding.—IM]

There is little difference in the performance history and the intellect and/or character of the other GOP candidates compared to Aboma. They all appear to be corrupt or at least self-serving. All the Presidents after JFK seem to have been previously damaged goods.

The only “spoiling” would be a Ron Paul win; otherwise, there would be no expectation of an essential change, regardless of which other game show contestant won!

Next stop, Dante Station. End of line! Transfer to Inferno, Purgatorio, or Paradiso.
