Comments on: The Stupid Party Needs A Bigger Tent (Or, A Bigger Tin-Foil Hat) https://barelyablog.com/the-stupid-party-needs-a-bigger-tent/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Myron Pauli https://barelyablog.com/the-stupid-party-needs-a-bigger-tent/comment-page-1/#comment-4695 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:49:06 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=3341#comment-4695 I’ve listened to Republicans talking for 40 years about reaching out to XYZ (blacks, freedom lovers, … ) but it just means allowing them to become part of their corrupt network – not changing their idiotic ways. The very same Republican hacks wouldn’t even ALLOW Ron Paul votes to be counted last year
at the convention. They will look a bit better in opposition to Democratic statism than they did as supporters of Republican statism but that too is an illusion. As you said, Ron Paul’s appeal was in the IDEAS of liberty – not some sexy hairdo, golden rhetorical gift, or him being half-black or the other superficial rot that passes as “new” to the mainstream statist media.

I’m not optimistic that they ever will.

These men don’t want to see a revolution that brings this nation back to its Constitutional moorings, but a former nation that is mired first in a regional government and ultimately in a world socialist government. When “we the people” get fed up with the ruling elites and their slave masters, we will see the revolution that we need, but not until then.
