Ron Paul's Chickens Have Come Home to Roost

I've looked at the few videos of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright on Youtube to see if I could spot Congressman Ron Paul in the congregation. No luck but they both articulate the "America's chickens have come home to roost" theme so stridently that I know they are kindred spirits. I wasn't aware until this election cycle that libertarians harbor such anti-American views. I though that philosophy was all about free markets and legal marijuana not about Iran's right to nuclear weaponry. Would President Ron Paul do an encore to President Obama's apology tour and rage to foreign audiences about America's "war on 1.2 billion Muslims," as he did in the last debate? Empathy has its place but Paul displays more empathy for the 9/11 hijackers than he does there nearly 3000 innocent and helpless victims.

Then there are those embarrassing newsletters that the Congressman published under his name but claims never to have read. The "Ron Paul Political Report" was listed in an online Neo-Nazi Directory that also included publications by the Ku Klux Klan and the Aryan Brotherhood. From the white supremacist site Stormfront I gleaned these two comments from the discussion board:

Of course, everything that was said in those newsletters -- by whomever -- was and is absolutely true and accurate. Most intelligent White people well understand this -- and so I think his alleged "racism" -- i.e., his racial-realism and implied Pro-Whiteness -- is one of the reasons his popularity continues to grow among White voters. The more CNN talks about it, the more popular he becomes. It's clearly having a positive effect.

And A lot of independent types see that obvious racism that Obama brought. Michelle Obama and Eric Holder are good examples. They do not even attempt to hide their hatred of white people. People see it and they don't like it.


From these points of view it seems the Stormfront crowd see Paul as the white equivalent to Barack Obama and maybe they are more perceptive than I first thought. Ron Paul thinks just like Obama except his "racial-realism" is derived from the white perspective. I wonder if he ever wrote, "black folk greed runs a world in need"?

  1. I guess Paul walked off CNN in a huff because he was asked about it.

    In my mind, honestly, if those newsletters had your name on it, you believe it. Just as Eric Holder cannot say, "I didn't know" even though he was the top banana, Ron Paul can't say "I didn't know."

    The buck stops there.
