Do you support Ron Paul for president? Do you think he stands for liberty and freedom for all Americans? You might want to think again. Although Ron Paul dose have some good points such as returning American currency to the gold standard and putting and end to sending money to foreign governments who in a lot of cases just don't need our aid. But, when you look at the rest of his platform, you might just see some pretty scary stuff such as a massive scale government deregulation (that I will talk about in a future post) and than, a further examination of the major supporters of the Ron Paul campaign revel some shadowy figures I am sure you wouldn't want any ware near our political system.
First, lets review the way the political game is played here in America. The number one rule of running for office is that he with the most votes wins (unless we're talking about George W. Bush). In order to get those votes, you must sell your self out to groups who are willing to endorse you, in addition to that, you must also say whatever it takes to get people to like you and cast there vote for you.
Remember those groups you had to sell yourself out to, truth is, the minute you win the election, you have become beholden to those groups. Ever hear the old saying "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours"? That saying is a moto of this American political game and regardless of a politician's personal beliefs and philosophies, once elected to public office, there are a lot of backs that need scratching in return. In a lot of cases, an elected official has to put his sense of right and wrong on hold and temporarily forget about his beliefs and philosophies to grant favors in an attempt to scratch the backs of those who helped him get in office. This is the way the political game has always been played here in America and in all probability will always be played this way.
Now that you've reviewed how the political game that Congressman Ron Paul is a player let's look at some of his ties to the white supremacy groups, Christian Reconstructionist, and the White Nationalist Movement, shall we?
On February 18'th 2001 Ron Paul was a guest on Radio Free America, founded by neo-Nazi Willis Carto and in 2006 he was scheduled to be on the show "The Political Cesspool" but had to back out at the last minute. The Political Cesspool is hosted by James Edwards who is an up and comer in the White Nationalist Movement.
Ron Paul is endorsed by such white supremacists as Former KKK Grand Wizards David Duke and Don Black as well as Rev. Phillip G. Kayser, a Nebraska preacher who is deeply connect ed to the Christian Reconstructionist Movement and who believes that gay men should but put to death. In regarding to his endorsement of Paul, David Duke said;
"Again, I go back to that, you know, traditional topic that I
always talk about, you know, the powers of international
Zionism-a power in banking, a power in media, a power in
government influence, in campaign finance-a power the's,
you know, hurting the values of this country on behalf of
Israel.
So, I would vote for Ron Paul at this moment because he's one of
the few condidates who have policies in this regard and this
realm that I wholeheartedly support, and that's why I'd vote for
him."
In addition from the endorsements of David Duke, Don Black and Rev. Phillip G. Kayser to name a few, Paul also counts among his closest allies, Howard Phillips a Christian Reconstructionist and founder of the Constitution Party.
"The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American
jurisprudence to it Biblical foundations and to limit the federal
government to it Constitutional boundaries" - Preamble to the
Constitution Party's Platform.
I don't know about you but, these don't sound to me like the kind of men I want the President Of The United States owing any favors to for there support, endorsements or campaign donations.
In doing research for this blog post, I found a few facts that to my mind calls Ron Paul's actual philosophy and beliefs into question. This is information that I fell everyone considering casting there ballot for Ron Paul should know.
In 2008 after he doped out of the Republican Presidential Race, he chose to endorse Pastor Chuck Baldwin who was running for the Constitution Party, the party that wants to instate biblical law in the US. At an event at Chuck Baldwin's church in Pensacola Florida, he expressed his belief that Christians are the "chosen people" and must rule for 1,000 years before Jesus will return.
Another group that Paul has ties to is the radical right-winged political advocacy organization, The John Birch Society. The John Birch Society opposed the civil rights movement in the 1960's because they claimed there were communists in high positions in the civil rights movement and supported segregation. I should note here that the John Birch Society was established by 12 founding members and one of those founding members was none other than Fred Koch, founder of Koch Industries and father of GOP power backers The Koch Brothers.
Paul's ties to the John Birch Society run so deep that he addressed there 50'th anniversary gala in 2008 and spoke in a language the the Christian Reconstructionists in attendance would understand saying "The Remnant holds the truth together, both the religious truth and political truth". The remnant he speaks of could either be a nod to the Christian Reconstructionists who refer to The righteous living in a land swept by evil as "The Remnant" or could be a reference and endorsement of the prominent Christian Reconstructionist publication "The Remnant Review".
If you are currently a Ron Paul supporter, I invite you to research this info for yourself and draw your own conclusions but, please enlighten yourselves to more than just the talking points of Ron Paul and his fanatical and often blind supporters.
This has been the Rainbow Patriot, signing off for now.
