Why I Hate "Paultards" Pt. 1

A caveat:
I love politics. To those that know me, it should come as no surprise, and to those that do not...well, hang on tight, because a nice, long rant has been a long time in coming.


To anyone not aware, I am a liberal. So please don't use that word as if it's some kind of slander on my character. I support Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in that order, but only because Obama really hasn't made many tangible plans for his presidency.

But most of all...

I FUCKING HATE RON PAUL AND ALL OF HIS DELUDED LITTLE FUCKHEAD "PAULTARDS"!

I'm dreadfully sorry for the language just then. I promise I'll try and avoid it from here on out. But in my defense...

Earlier this week, some guy whom I've never met invited me to join a Facebook group entitled "Are You Unplugged? Or Are You Ignorant?" Don't bother looking; you won't be able to find any mention of it. It's a secret group, hidden from all but its members. The creator (who shall remain nameless) personally invited most of the people in the group based on comments they had left on discussion boards elsewhere on Facebook. The criteria (according to him): be intelligent. Once we all joined the group, our fearless leader told us of his master plan. He wants to let the group go for a while, discussing things and hopefully coming to solutions on some of the issues. After he thinks enough progress has been made, he wants to make the group public, so that we can educate the whole of Facebook, thereby a large number of the young voting population.

Yeah, I know. He's fucking nuts.

But that's his plan. And I'm along for the ride. At first I thought it was funny, but now...Well, there's something that a lot of the group's members have in common: they support Ron Paul for president.

For a while now, Ron Paul has been the butt of my political jokes. I see signs that say "No taxes! Not ever! Ron Paul!", and I laugh my ass off. Actually, for a long time I had no idea that he was actually running as part of the Republican Party. For a while, I wasn't even aware that he was legitimately running at all.

After joining the group and seeing all of these (supposedly) intelligent people support this man with such zeal, I decided to find out about him for myself. Okay, that's a lie. This is what made me investigate Dr. Paul:

...they [Fox News] will marginalize Paul every step of the way, from what questions they ask him, how much "face" time he receives, and the pundits' spin after the debate. You will see pollsters going out of their way to encourage us to vote for anybody but Ron Paul. Why? Because Ron Paul speaks the truth about not only the USA, but the world. CFR [Council on Foreign Relations] media moguls know that Ron Paul is a huge stumbling block on the road to globalized, one-world government.

It would help to know more about Ron Paul, and I don't want to use this forum to articulate politics when there are other groups that do that, but I must say, for the sake of speaking the truth, Ron Paul is completely honest and has been since the first day he went into office as Congressman. His main platform is concerned with getting all foreign assets (military bases, troops) out of other countries, eliminating Federal Reserve-controlled monetary policy (that is destroying our dollar by the way), and keeping the USA the same USA we know and love.

Fox News, our government, and all of the corporate media hate this message because they are in bed with the CFR global elite who are pushing for the North American Union, a project that would require we give up our national sovereignty (i.e. laws) to another more powerful organization. Hmmm... I wonder who this organization might be... the CFR perhaps...

...I want to offer that if anyone here is interested in seeking truth in politics, I mean the real truth can hurt once you take off the emotional blinders, then start with Ron Paul.

Some of his supporters might be a bit crazy (i.e. angry), but I think they have reason, and Ron Paul by no means deserves the treatement that he is receiving in the mainstream press. He is a peaceful man; I met him in person once (hopefully twice by the end of the night). I believe in this man so much that I would take a bullet for him, seriously. (Bold and italics mine)

That was the start of a discussion board entitled "Truth in Politics". The guy sounded fucking crazy, so I decided (being the vindictive bastard that I am) that I wanted to prove him wrong.

I did. It was fun.

To start, Ron Paul is a Congressman from Texas who has served about ten non-consecutive terms in office. He is also an OB/GYN, who has delivered over 4,000 babies. Don't ask me why that's relevant, I'm just the messenger, and most Paul supporters seem to think that this is important. Paul is notorious for voting against everything he perceives as "unconstitutional," which is, well, almost everything.

To begin with the most recent development in the unfolding saga of the Ron Paul Revolution:

Ron Paul, apparently is a racist. Or at least, a political newsletter bearing his name and often his signature contains numerous racially offensive comments, among other disturbing things. Don't buy it? The New Republic ran an article that can be accessed here, containing scans of the actual newsletters themselves.

Paul denied ever writing the racist comments, or approving them. Which is interesting, because this is not the first time Paul has been asked to respond to these newsletters. The first time, Paul took responsibility, but now, he says he's never seen them before and says he wasn't really editing the publication at the time. Which is perfectly plausible. One problem though: these publications span almost a decade. So is Paul saying that for ten years, he did not read anything in a series of newsletters bearing his name? That none of his friends or co-workers read them? That no one ever said anything to him for TEN YEARS?

Yeah, right.

Unsurprisingly, the Paul supporters have an answer, and I bet you can't guess what it is. A conspiracy theory. The signatures were fake. It's part of a CFR smear campaign, because they're afraid that they'll lose control of the US government.

(For a very candid step-by-step illustration of the self-delusion that Paul supporters use to come to these conclusions, click here.)

...so that is the beginning of what will probably be a multi-volume work. There's so much to say about the guy! (And now that there's something of substance on here, maybe some people will read it.)
