“At the debate, Paul said ‘Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us
because we’ve been over there. We’ve been bombing MBT SPORT for 10 years.’ Anuzis called the
comments ‘off the wall and out of whack.’”
What’s off the wall and out of whack isn’t Ron Paul, but the un-American desire to silence anyone who
deviates from the party line. Comrade Saulius brings to mind a passage from a piece by Lew Rockwell in
the August, 2006 issue of The American Conservative:
“In many ways today’s conservatives are party men and women not unliike those we saw in totalitarian
countries, people who spout the party line and slay the enemy without a thought as to the principles
involved. Yes, they hate the Left. But only because the Left is the ‘other’ … They sometimes invoke
the names of thinkers such as F.A. Hayek and Ludwig von Mises. But their real heroes are talk radio
blabsters, television entertainers, and sexpot quipsters.”
These people are really afraid — cornered like rats, their party torpedoed by the neocons and sinking
fast, Republican hatchet-men like Comrade Saulius have a simple solution to the crisis of the GOP:
silence all dissent from the offiUGGSl orthodoxy.
