Hillary Clinton, apparently in an effort to prove that she is a complete and utter idiot, lied about having been under fire in Bosnia as First Lady, which is more than just a lie because it essentially insults everyone who's ever put on a military uniform and been shot at. Hillary called this lie a “mistake” which is a little like saying that there's a bit of skirmish in the Middle East: yes it's the truth, but it kind of avoids the big picture.
Meanwhile, a perfectly good candidate named Ron Paul sits on the metaphorical sidelines because people were worried that he might be racist because of some unsubstantiated rumors. And you can't vote for that. You can vote for someone who lies about military service, though. That's how we roll in America.
Barack Obama lied about his pastor, stating that he never understood that the dude was an anti-semite and general hater of all things Caucasian. Most American voters are of the Caucasian persuasion so this could be a problem for Obama, that is if the American people weren't so quick to forgive him for attending a racist church for twenty years.
Keep in mind that these are the same American people who could not bring themselves to acknowledge Ron Paul's candidacy because some dude on his campaign more than fifteen years ago may have written a racist newsletter in his name.
So, it's fine for Barack Obama to be christened by, to receive spiritual guidance from and to be great friends with a known racist and hater of all things Caucasian, but if there's even a whiff that Ron Paul may have kind of known a guy who was racist, well we can't have that.
It's a question of character.
And the American people and their collectivist media have no character.
As we slide into this election year let us remember that Ron Paul was vindicated by the head of the ACLU who not only called the accusations of racism lies but also pointed out why the powers that be needed you to believe those lies (hint: they like your money and they love you under control).
And you are.
“When his fellow candidates denounced big government, Paul was there to remind them that President Bush and the G.O.P. Congress had shattered spending records and exploded the deficit. When they hailed freedom, Paul asked why they all supported the Patriot Act and other expansions of executive power. And when they called themselves conservatives, Paul asked what was so conservative about sending thousands of young Americans to try to transform the Middle East.”
The American people responded to all that truth by sticking their fingers in their asses, putting them under their collective noses, taking a big whiff and saying, “I don't know, Ron Paul seems kind of kooky, the constitution is kind of a weird document, ah gee, do you really think we could have freedom in this country? That is so strange.”
So the career politicians are battling for the right to steal your hard earned money while the only worthwhile human being in the whole election sits idly by, his hands tied by the media, by American ignorance and by good old fashion smear campaigns.
If Paul's racist, Obama's worse (at least Paul never regularly attended an organization that espoused racist teachings).
If Paul's ideas are far from reality, Clinton's worse (Paul never imagined his time in the military).
If Paul is an old fuddy-duddy, then what the hell is John McCain, who is older, fuddier and duddier?
These are your choices, America. You've done it again. You had a chance to free yourself from the Federal Reserve, the UN, the IMF and the IRS, to limit your reliance on foreign oil, to watch your dollar be worth something again and instead you get to choose between an old liar, a woman liar and a racist liar.
You could have had a real opportunity for change. You could have had a fighting chance to regain liberty and personal freedom. Instead you get to choose between the blue car and the red car, between three percent inflation and five percent inflation, between a socialized police state or a corporatist police state. Essentially, you get to pick the gun that shoots you, the lesser of evils, the worst of values and the best liar.
Pick away, America.
I'm still voting for Ron Paul.
