WTF, just because some jerkoffs use State's Rights as an excuse for bigotry doesn't mean that everyone who thinks that is a racist or a relious panderer. I know that is it too hard to comprehend for some of you but it is resonating like a tidal wave and in you hubris you are calling him a racist? I think you're the real bigot for constantly harping on it when you have no real proof. I guess I don't drink enough Starbucks and debate these issues with politically correct hipster friends who think that everyone who isn't like them is some kind of backwoods bigot.
Are you scared of your state or something? Do you really think that someone the likes of fat old Huckabee is going to bring back Jim Crow laws or ban abortion in your state? Then why don't you put down the latte and influence it at the state or local level, or is it up to a corrupt federal career politician to do these things for you? Why? If you are passionate and have the opportunity to influence it, why not do it? Let Oregon and Washington go socialist, who cares?
So I guess that means that everyone who is pro-choice is also pro-eugenics! Wow, what a bunch of racists you pro-choice people are! I guess it takes a eugenics supporter like Chris Dodd or Hillary Clinton to help spread Women's rights... oh well!
Like you mentioned in the article where the guy left out Ron Paul.
You know, everyone just throw your hands up and go, "oh well, I guess nothing's changin!"
All of the "top" Democratic candidates are perceived to continue the status quo on things like torture, war, imperialism, the things that matter. So it's the "Hurray! All of them look good! Lets look at how Slimy the George Bush Republicans are" Howard Dean like True Believer Spirit. So instead the Kosers and the Wonketters spend their time teaming up with the likes of Little Green Footballs and RedState to call Ron Paul a racist.
It is called ANYONE BUT RON PAUL Syndrome.
Symptoms include:
1) Myopic True Believerism
2) Bizzaro World Hallucinations
But I guess it takes someone like you to judge who is who? GTFO of town with the holier than thou, what makes you so righteous? I could give two shits about what color someone is or if they are pro-choice, pro-life, or whatever. All I look for are if people pander and/or buy into the big lie that currently is considered the status quo or they don't. I may have bad spelling and grammar but language and the way perceptions are formed by the likes of Frank Luntz and the Mainstream Media to influence the status quo are way more important to me than whether or not so and so hates so and so. Right now they are framing the war and the empire as secondary,
For example, Hillary Clinton's scary and contrived "presents" Christmas video. They had a present, "Bring Troops Home", that was third. NOtice how it wasn't, "bring all of the troops home", or "the troops", i.e. she is subtley implying that, indeed, troops will be staying there. "End the War" should have been the first present, and there should be presents like "Repeal the Patriot Act", "Pepeal the MCA", "Stop the Real ID Act", presents Ron Paul would deliver. Instead she wants to give us more corporate welfare and Brave New World.
As long as we are at using corporate welfare to blow up and police the world, and continue to be obsessed with secrecy, creepy clandestine shit, and surveilance, I don't really think things like the environment or abortion matter to the State. An oppressive society can flip the switch on abortion or twist the issue any way it wants to, and big government can kill the environment as well, e.g. China.
Or are those racist Indians going to get what's coming to them when the Feds eventually send in their stormtroopers to stomp faces and get them back in line? They've told the Feds to piss off. One of the reasons the Lakota's gave is that they are sick of the Government "taking their children", i.e. sterilization programs. Eugenics rearing its ugly head I guess.
To all the Ron Paul haters out there, I hope you have a happy holiday and eat lots of Christmas goose, because in a couple of weeks you will be a steady diet of crow :)
And thanks for another fair article, Mr. G. Don't worry, your new book will still be a bestseller even when Ron Paul is the nominee, lol.
it did, it did....
To all the nazis, zionists, LGFers, KOS kids, neocons, socialists, and the M$M: ALL ABOARD THE ANYONE BUT RON PAUL TRAIN! CHOO CHOO! Just make sure you are buckled up when it rolls off of the cliff!
See, Ron Paul does bring everyone together, like the extremists on both sides who are coming together in a pathetically desperate attempt to smear Ron Paul before the rEVULution storms their primary.
isn't that kind of what GG was saying when he wished that the left would spend more time turning the mirror on itself during the primary instead of going after the Republicans, since there will be plenty of time for that during the general election?
But who really cares about the war, FISA, and tortute? Obviously not the establishment. I will be constantly hammering Hillary's Christmas presents as they should tell everyone where her priorities, as well as the priorities of the establishment. "bring troops home" is third. Just remember that it should be "end the war", and that present should have FIRST. Nowhere is there anything about the drug war besides Paul's, and maybe Kucinich's, campaigns.
