    THE MONSTER MASH: RON PAUL AND THE NEWT

    By Richard Day on Sun, 10/09/2011 - 5:25pm |

     

     

     

    I wish to get into the Monster Mash a little earlier this year.

    I intend on getting all over Ron Paul's arse but I need to discuss recent statements by Newt first.

    Newt has gone off the deep end recently so I shall deal with him first.

     

    “I would instruct the national security officials in the Gingrich administration to ignore the recent decisions of the Supreme Court on national security matters, and I would interpose the presidency, and say as the commander-in-chief we will not enforce this,” Gingrich said.

    http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/10/newt-gingrich-id-ignore-the-supreme-court-if-i-wanted-to.php

    At first one might dismiss Newt's rantings as rage; partially because he is being shunned by the press and the teabaggers and the conservatives and the repubs and the saner folks. But there is more to this statement than might initially meet the eye.

    I have taken a lot of time railing against Buchanan for being the single most NAZI sympathizer in the history of American politics or the MSM.

    But Newt is showing his true colors lately.

    Thinkprogress.com has produced a two part essay on Newt's recent speech that really shows this Georgia Boys real intent. Newt has always been and will always be against Civil Rights, against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, against the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (which has been abused by at least ten states since the American People decided to vote in fascist repubs) and against justice in its most modest forms.

    Newt is a pig, Newt is a racist, Newt is a capitalist warmonger, Newt would take us back to the Golden Days of American Fascism.

    Newt would take us all back to the Jim Crow Laws of the 1950's (and 70 years prior) by simply ignoring precedents set by our Courts.

    Read both short essays and attempt to get to the links so that you can see exactly what he is saying.

    Newt is an animal. And he has nothing to gain from all of this except for monies that he shall eventually receive from White racist military organizations.

    He cannot be a presidential candidate, he cannot be a vice-presidential candidate....he can only sell books to militia men hiding in the mountains or residing in our prison system.

    There is no excuse for this type of speech! And I have lost any and all respect for this pig!

    Now on to Ron Paul.

    Ron recently won a straw poll.

    It is all over the news. But I found this link concerning his prior statements.

    I cannot find my previous blogs on Paul (since I have written a thousand of them) but I tell ya, I have found a recent blog that recites just ten past statements from this fascist mofo.

    I know he is 74 years of age and I know that at age 61 folks could find hundreds of mistakes made by me in my past.

    What I am attempting to prove is that Ron Paul is an enemy of the state just like Buchanan; that Ron Paul is a traitor to the US Constitution and to Democracy; that Ron Paul would do as much damage to this nation as Buchanan would willingly; that Ron Paul holds within himself ten times the evil of a Herman Cain; that Ron Paul is a racist and a fascist and a real prick just like his son.

    Oh we might get out of world-wide wars.

    But he aint gonna do one damn thing for 90% or more of the folks who call themselves Americans.

    http://www.buzzfeed.com/gavon/10-mind-blowingly-offensive-quotes-from-ron-paul-n

    Here are just a couple gems from Paul's past ravings:

    On Washington DC: You can assume that 95% of the Black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.

    On the L.A. Riots: Order was only restored when the Blacks had the opportunity to pick up their welfare checks!

    Just read it. I mean he hates the Jews, he hates the Blacks, he hates Hispanics, he hates all gays, he hates all folks on welfare, he hates the defenseless, he hates the downtrodden, he hates the crippled...

    RON PAUL IS A RACIST FASCIST PRICK!

    I am mad at the dems, I am mad at the fact that we are still in these ungodly wars (even though we are apparently 'getting out of Iraq' in two months), I am mad at Wall Street bailouts, I am mad about non-prosecution of felons residing on Wall Street; hell I am angry about a lot of things.

    But fuck the libertarians because they have more of an agenda than one might initially acknowledge.

     

    We gotta THINK THINK THINK what this guy is trying to do to us!

     

     

     

     

    Comments

    Both Ron Paul and his weird son are far out of the normal curve of rational behavior as far as I am concerned.

    My hope is that Paul will get so full of himself that he'll branch out of a third party attempt and tank the Republicans. He is obviously amassing a great war chest.

    Both Newt & Paul are bolding demanding that we go back to the days of Jim Crow and some states have already taken steps toward that end.

    It is now illegal in Alabama for an undocumented worker to BUY WATER!

    For Newt, a man with 2? PHd's to stand up and give a speech like this, in public makes my blood boil!

    D. D. The next time you take a romp through Wikipedia stop and take a look at the presidents in the second half of the 19th century after the war between the states. Party bosses, corruption, patronage system full of pay to play money, The great swap to win an election, anti emigration, gold speculation, the long depression, civil unrest protests from labor and the rise of the first gilded age. We are 25 years into the 2nd gilded age so there is lots of history to compare. It would be interesting take through your eyes.

    The republican party after 1876 gave up on justice completely. That is a simplistic statement but the fact is that all Northern troops were withdrawn and the South just went ahead and did what the North knew they were going to do.

    I just saw an hour or two of a CSPAN lecture on Garfield.

    This guy was the hope of all Blacks in this country. No kidding. And when he was shot dead that was the end of any hope at all for the lower classes or the minorities until Teddy--who was never a real Civil Libertarian but who held some beliefs in justice and the American Way.

    I have done blogs on this.

    But you bring up an interesting point; of course you always bring up interesting points.

    I just became so angry at two threads on the web; one pertaining to Newt who is getting no coverage on TV MSM and Paul who is held up as some sort of ideal for the libertarians.

    And it hit me!

    I knew Newt was a prick for a long, long time but he would rise above it all from time to time. And now the Newt is just lost in the muck and has increased his craziness hoping to be heard. Now Newt would just destroy the third branch of government and replace it with what? The executive or the church or what?

    It is a damnable shame.

    Paul lures me into his philosophy until I take another look at his history. People are lured into thinking that they will have free drugs forever and abortions will be free and Paul has no intention of aiming for those goals--whether you believe the goals wonderful or evil.

    These are bad men and libertarianism only goes so far and the politicians who come to the fore as far as 'this movement' promise much in the way of individual liberties but those philosophical liberties only apply to the rich.

    Oh well.

    I shall think about your message and ponder my further discussions. ha

    Thanks.

    There was a poll in Alabama, or perhps Mississippi, in which over half of the Republicans in the state answered yes to a question of whether inter-racial marriages should be illegal. What does that tell you about the real state of mind of many Southern whites today?


    by Oxy Mora on Mon, 10/10/2011 - 8:55am

    Beware of the telephone game!

    The state was Mississippi, and it was nearly half (46%), not over half. However, it was a plurality, in that only 40% said it should be legal. It was a PPP poll, and the question is Q14, for those who want to see the source.

    Thanks for bringing this up. I try to be skeptical about such things, and I'd say regardless of the minor distinction between "over half" and a plurality, your point is still valid (and scary). Also, the crosstabs are of some interest. Evidently, Palin's and Huckabee's fans contributed most significantly to the people who thought interracial marriage should be illegal. How surprising! (For what it's worth, Paul's fans voted about 2-1 in favor of interracial marriage being legal.)

    adYou're nothing but a con artist.  You have no dates supporting your claim in your write up against Ron Paul.  You're obviously for the corrupt people in congress who have seen their wealth increase double digits due to illegal insider trading when they front run legislation for profit by investing in these companies prior to them getting government hand outs.

    Go ahead, support the likes of a Nancy P., cheer the fact that a bust business making solar panels got a half billion dollars and people working in the white house was seen cheering as the money was being given to them. 

    You must support torture.  Ron Paul was the only candidate against it.

    You must support MF Global's looting of over a billion dollars of people's money while the CEO has no charges brought against him (probably because he was the NJ governor and exCEO of Goldman Sachs).  Even more interesting he's no where to be found.

    I suppose this is one party's fault?

    Where is Obama and Boner (sorry pronounced Bohner ) speaking up and demanding a man hunt for this huge criminal?  

    NO WHERE TO BE FOUND ON THIS SUBJECT!

    I got news for the person posting these lies about Ron Paul....your buddies who say they will help you for helping them will be long gone and you will be left to fed for yourself more broke than you've ever been!  They could care less about you and will use you as a fall guy when they want to.  Start reading real history and start spreading the truth.  Stop spreading outright lies!

    cult


    by Michael Wolraich on Fri, 11/18/2011 - 1:49pm

    And what would you call a political movement that  leads it's members to make such rational and measured comments in response to challenge like the one a bit below mine here? Not a cult?

    Interesting quote (from Wikipedia):

    Because of the increasingly pejorative use of the words "cult" and "cult leader" since the cult debate of the 1970s, some scholars, in addition to groups referred to as cults, argue that these are words to be avoided.

    Catherine Wessinger(Loyola University New Orleans) has stated that the word "cult" represents just as much prejudice and antagonism as racial slurs or derogatory words for women and homosexuals. She has argued that it is important for people to become aware of the bigotry conveyed by the word, drawing attention to the way it dehumanises the group's members and their children. Labeling a group as subhuman, she says, becomes a justification for violence against it. At the same time, she adds, labeling a group a "cult" makes people feel safe, because the "violence associated with religion[belief] is split off from conventional religions[beliefs], projected onto others, and imagined to involve only aberrant groups." This fails to take into account that child abuse, sexual abuse, financial extortion and warfare have also been committed by believers of mainstream religions [political parties], but the pejorative "cult" stereotype makes it easier to avoid confronting this uncomfortable fact.

    But hey, at least you didn't use the N-Word.

    And another thing. It appears this guy is pretty much in spot-on agreement with every specific policy point Democrats *claim* to also hold.  Anti-war. Anti-torture. Pro Bank-fraud accountability, etc.

    The *only* factual point of disagreement raised here - aside from selection of politician to support - appears to be a misimpression about the nature of business investing and the concept of risk. And  that really is a matter of preferred spin more than legitimate disagreement - you have to admit, the actual deal he's protesting was totally fucked. But that underlying point seems to be pretty easy to schmooze with some simple failure-rate statistics and properly respectful commiseration.

    With Obama '08 you should be able to bag this vote no problem. It is telling that your only option coming in to 2012 is to shit on folks. I guess there genuinely isn't much of a real response to the specific criticisms ... if this shit the Democrats are slinging isn't good enough, well, tough ... did we mention BOOOOO! Tea PARTY!!!!!!!!

    As AT is fond of saying, those who are interested in expanding the left should be asking themselves how to convince *THIS* guy. Unfortunately, Democrats clearly aren't on the left and are most focused on investing their energy attacking liberals (while still forcing them to vote for you) and building a party approach that exclusively promotes the interests of mega-millionaires and movie stars.

    ANYTIME, ANYWHERE YOU PRICK! HA

    No kidding. How about this one?

    You've got to stop beating up your women because you can't find a job, because you didn't want to get an education and now you're (earning) minimum wage. You should have thought more of yourself when you were in high school, when you had an opportunity.
