Why
Should Jews, Blacks, Christians, Gays Support Ron Paul?
Ron Paul openly associates with members of the
American
Nazi Party, John Birch Society and neo-Confederate organizations.

New
York, NY --- December 29, 2011 .... Who is Ron Paul? How much
do you really know about him?
Does he embrace all Americans? Is he fit for the highest office
in the US?
For
the most part, I have ignored Ron Paul. Knowing him mostly as
a racist lunatic. That is until this week when his PR people approached
me to help secure the Jewish vote for his campaign.
It
was not so much that I had any real, substantial disdain for Paul
as I was surprised by the potency of his marketing and branding
campaign. The professionalism of a PR campaign which has created
a feel good atmosphere for those under 30.
That
many who are just reaching voting age or are just beyond it, from
Iowa, Connecticut and New York to Virginia, Arizona and Texas,
really like Ron Paul. When you ask them why, they have no idea.
When you ask them if they are aware that he is associated with
the KKK and neo-Nazis, they respond with an open mouth and blank
stare.
Who
is Ron Paul?
For
one thing, he is not stupid.
Born Ronald Ernest "Ron" Paul on August 20, 1935 is
a medical doctor, author and US Congressman coming from Texas's
14th congressional district. Paul serves on the US House Committees
on Foreign Affairs and Financial Services, and on the Joint Economic
Committee. He is the chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee
on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology, where he has been
an outspoken critic of American foreign and monetary policy.
Paul grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of
Gettysburg College and Duke University School of Medicine, where
he earned his medical degree. He served as a flight surgeon in
the US Air Force from 1963 until 1968. He worked as an obstetrician
and gynecologist during the 1960s and 1970s, delivering more than
4,000 babies, before entering politics in 1976.
Paul has been labeled the "intellectual godfather" of
the Tea Party movement and has become well known for his libertarian
ideas on many political issues, often differing from both Republican
and Democratic Party positions. Paul has campaigned for President
of the United States twice before, first during 1988 as the nominee
of the Libertarian Party and again during 2008 as a candidate
for the Republican nomination.
He
is also the author and publisher of newsletters that go by the
name: "Ron
Paul's Freedom Report".
In
these newsletters one can see who the real Ron Paul is. A medical
doctor who cares for babies or a blatant racist who calls African
Americans - Blacks "animals" who only behave when picking
up their welfare checks. Ron Paul called the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King a gay pedophile".
As
for the Jews, he would not have sent US troops to fight the Nazis,
liberate Jews from the Holocaust, blames the Jewish people and
the CIA for 9/11 and would allow Iran to nuke Israel, which according
to Ron Paul, should not exist.
Ron
Paul and his PR campaign people say that they support Israel.
They even created a Facebook page entitled Ron Paul Zionists for
Israel. They visited me on Facebook and said in the most glowing
terms that they would allow Israel to do whatever it wished if
they got my vote. What they did not say to me is that Ron Paul
would stop all aid to Israel, the only stable democracy in the
Middle East. A small Jewish nation that trains US troops before
they land in Iraq or Afghanistan and coordinates almost every
security issue with Washington in defense of democracy against
Islamic Jihad or Muslim Holy War against Jews and Christians.
As
Ron Paul's social media team sweet talks me and begs me to "look
at the issues" they fail to mention that on page 317 of his
book, Liberty Defined, Ron Paul writes about the influence
of the Israel government on the US and the apartheid conditions
that Palestinians are subjected to.
Apartheid
conditions?
In
Israel there is no Apartheid.
Not only do Jews and Arabs have equal access to all public places,
there are Israeli Arabs serving in the Israel Defense Forces and
Israeli Arabs who serve as court judges. Those who talk about
Apartheid in Israel are either ignorant or lying.
I
don't believe that Ron Paul is ignorant.
Many
view Ron Paul as being perhaps the most dangerous man to run for
President of the United States.
For
Paul would try to destroy America's INTEL (Intelligence) agencies,
stripping the CIA, the NSA and US military Intelligence of any
power to act to defend the US. He would allow Iran to build nuclear
weapons that would be used against Israel, France, the UK and
any other part of Europe that disagrees with Iran. Ron Paul defends
Iran and states that it is not going nuclear. This is in sharp
contrast to the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which
recently confirmed that Iran is indeed producing nuclear weapons.
Who
is Ron Paul?
He
supports and is supportive of such racist organizations as
the American Nazi Party, the white supremacist StormFront, the
National Socialist Movement, the John Birch Society, the Ku Klux
Klan, Holocaust deniers and neo-Confederates. The racism and conspiracy
theories of Ron Paul have driven some people to violence. Not
only have Ron Pauls racist supporters endorsed him and his
views, he has endorsed them through his positions on the Civil
War and the Civil Rights movement, without disavowing the support
he gets from racists. This is guilt by racism.
In
response to Ron Paul creating his fake Zionists for Israel
group on Facebook, a very real Jews
Against Ron Paul for President have opened a Facebook
group to address Paul's racist and dangerous foreign policy positions
for the US. The group should have been named Jews, Christian and
Blacks Against Ron Paul and Racism.
Many
have advised me to simply ignore Ron Paul. That he is of no consequence
and by giving him attention I provide him with a platform. I disagree.
And this is the responsibility of the Fourth Estate or more commonly
known as the media.
The
New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper calls Pauls
positions on national security issues truly dangerous
and deems the Texas Republican the favored candidate of
the lunatic fringe.
The
Wall Street Journal says that Ron Paul believes that al-Qaida
terrorists caught in the US should be treated as common criminals,
not enemy combatants. He wants them read Miranda rights to which
they are not entitled and he wants them tried and sentenced in
civil courts rather than by military tribunals. What is needed
to effectively fight and win a war and al-Qaida is indeed at war
with the US, is the ability to gather information. Telling the
enemy that it has a right to remain silent is beyond
absurd.
Most
of the media views Ron Paul as a dangerous isolationist
for opposing pre-emptive strikes and interventionist foreign policy.
That Paul would rather stick his head in the sand than to help
another Western, democratic ally.
To
ignore Paul would be equal to have ignored Adolph Hitler. Both
men use nationalism and fear tactics to gain support. And a powerful,
psychotic ability to twist the truth. With regards to Israel,
after Paul's PR team gave up telling me how much that they support
Israel, in frustration, they began to show their real colors by
attacking me as a Jew, calling Israel an Apartheid state and saying
that Israel keeps Gaza in a prison. That the US taxpayer should
stop supporting Jews in Israel. But that is no surprise as Islamic
terror groups such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah actually
support Ron Paul. Perhaps they were the ones posting on my Facebook
and Twitter accounts.
It
is not so much how dangerous and out of touch with reality Ron
Paul might be, but rather how effective his delivery system is,
a professional PR machine which needs to be confronted.
So
for those of you who cherish Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Snoop Dogg,
Harry Potter, Jeff Black, Justin Bieber and the Vampire Diaries,
think twice before you vote in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina,
New York or California. If you want to vote against Barack Obama,
make your protest vote with a candidate who is not a racist. Do
your research!
Do
you want Ron Paul, the baby doctor, defending the US against terrorism
or another candidate who understands both national security and
the meaning of tolerance and respect for other religions, races
and people who live in the United States and throughout the world.
When
America even begins to think of electing a President who hates
Jews, Blacks and other minorities, we lose our greatness as a
free and open democracy.
Ron
Paul also wants to legalize heroin and other dangerous, addictive
drugs.
