So let me get this straight, the only people who aren't sheeple are people who believe exactly as you. Is it lonely in your echo chamber for one? The reason you Ron Paul revolution folk can't attract normal constituencies is that normal people never hang out with people who believe we are all stupid. Herp, derp, the Ron Paul revolution is full of fail for reasons that are obvious to fully functional humans.

Is it the blue eyes or what?

I can't quite imagine how else you get away with such a craven lack of compassion. Not to mention get classed up from middle brow idealogue to "deep thinker."
