I doubt Heinlein would be so cowardly as to use Alinsky tactics and label his opposition as all being Ron Paul types when all know better.
Heinlein’s dead.
Either go join the Mobile Infantry, or forget about voting.
“In some states the right of a person to participate in a primary may be challenged and he may then be called on to prove his right by taking an oath to support the ticket which results from such primary. Such a procedure is morally correct; if universal it might do much to put a stop to the present eat-your-cake-and-have-it-too attitude of some irresponsible politicians.”And a not-so-little question: who else would he say it to?
“Party regularity and party discipline are pragmatically necessary and morally correct in any political party if that party is to carry out its responsibilities. This is especially true with respect to unsuccessful candidates in a party primary; no man should offer himself as a candidate in a party primary unless he is prepared to abide by the majority will of the political group he seeks as a sponsor. Running in a primary is a voluntary action, very similar to joining a caucus; it carries with it responsibilities as well as privileges. A candidate need not enter a primary at all; he is always free to run as an independent instead.”
I think he’d say something like stfu & stfd.
I am not aware that Ron Paul or his delegates have broken any rules. It appears that they have rather used the rules in place to do things that the GOPe does not like. Thus the need to change the rules after the fact.
Ron Paul may indeed be the last best hope to save the Republican Party from itself.
Paraphrasing:
“When a country is big enough where a Ron Paul can become a politician, it is has become too big.”
Heinlein would find Paul too moderate.
I can’t speak for Ron Paul, but my guess is that his thinking about “party” is more aligned with G. Washington’s, than with R. Heinlein’s.
“The second American revolution begins with the day they hang the lawyers” You guys ready yet?
One day someone like me is gonna kill you and your whole ******* race!
... is a pretty good line ...
Can’t remember in which book he wrote this regarding voting, but he said that every citizen should get one vote, if they were land owners, they got a 2nd vote and if they were military veterans, they got a 3rd vote.
A darned fine idea.
