For those of you who don't know, during the '70s, '80s and '90s, a newsletter written by representatives of Ron Paul pandered to racists. Now, you can read these newsletters and think what you want. Paul denies writing them and I don't blame him. Whether he wrote them or not, he is now and forever associated with racism and anti-Semitism. Which is a shame. Because he's the only honest candidate running.
Will His Coreness be able to battle back from this bullshit and continue his message of personal liberty? Probably not. For now and forever, he will be considered a racist.
Now, George W. Bush, who let thousands of blacks die in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, he's not a racist.
And Bill Clinton, who saw to it that tens of thousands of innocent Arabs were murdered in Eastern Europe, he's not a racist.
And George H. W. Bush, who mercilessly bombed the Middle East, is not a racist.
And Ronald Reagan, who presided over the crack-cocaine epidemic and some of the most miserable economic times for the disenfranchised, most of whom were black, is not a racist.
But Ron Paul, a man who had said time and time again that rights are individual, and not to be collectively applied to any group of people, be it by skin color, religion, creed or locality, he is a racist.
To borrow from op-ed news:
“The offensive newsletter articles are indeed wildly, ludicrously, grotesquely out of synch with Paul's lifetime writing style, voting record, public statements, and personal conduct. They are, to those who are familiar with him and his record, very clearly not his own. Few if any in the mainstream media believe he actually wrote them.”
But mainstream media does believe in collectivist thinking. They're fine getting rich as the mouthpiece for our corporate slave-owners. The media likes things the way they are. Paul does not. The media has the position to tell us what we are allowed to be. Paul does not.
And we are not allowed to be racist. So they have made Paul racist. That way, we will know not to vote for him.
If he bounces back from this, rest assured, they'll call him a terrorist next.
Last election, the biggest issue was who served in Vietnam back in the '70s. Now with Paul, we're talking about letters he did not write more than twenty years ago and how they affect us.
And I think they affect us less than GW's old coke habit. Or Reagan's chimp movies. Or Clinton's infidelities.
But whatever. People are all idiots. Racism is an ugly word. And the masses will believe the media.
And the media will always fight to preserve the power of our current collectivist and corporatist policies.
And you dumbasses will keep swallowing the swill, believing the charlatans and voting for the puppets.
Enjoy the North American Union, assholes. Enjoy the stripping of your personal freedoms. Enjoy the National ID Cards and the tracking chips. Enjoy being sheep.
You've earned it.
