I happened to have found this on Facebook.
I know what I said earlier about Ron Paul.
Alex Jones’s delivery and acting aside; the information is interesting.
Watch it:

I had heard about this before, but didn’t realize the extent of it.
Interesting indeed.
This is why Ron Paul is not the GOP’s candidate for President of the United States:
Rep. Ron Paul said GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s convention speech left him “very skeptical” that the country’s economic policies will change.
“The speech is what I would expect,” the Texas Republican said Friday on Bloomberg Television’s “In the Loop.” “I remain very, very skeptical of hearing anything that will change the course of history. We have a debt problem. We have a spending problem, but how many things did he list to cut?”
Not enough, he said. The former GOP presidential candidate said the “most disturbing” part of America’s fiscal problems is the Federal Reserve, which Romney did not focus on during his speech.
“There was no talk of the Federal Reserve,” said Paul, advocating the elimination of both the Fed and fixed interest rates. “As long as we have the concept,” he later added, “we will linger a long time because debt is a problem and no one is willing to face up to it and I certainly didn’t hear that last night.

Ron Paul; for all the good things about him, this is one of his many flaws — besides his unrealistic foreign policy —- is that he is just too ideologically rigid. The only way that Ron Paul and his many legion of fans would be happy, is if the Federal Reserve were closed, the military were dismantled and America went back to gold standard. Of course, all of those things are just unrealistic at best.
He followed up those remarks with this bit idiotic nonsense:
So what’s his take on the Republican Party?
“Well, it is not my party. I do not like politics at all,” Paul said. “I think both parties are Keynesian economists and support positions that I do not like. So, the party, in many ways is irrelevant.”
Which is precisely why Ron Paul will never be President of the United States of America or thankfully anything else in the Republican Party ever again. I mean, if the man cannot tell the difference between an Marxist and an Republican; then he needs to get the heck out politics for good. because it is quite obvious that he is not fit to serve in any sort of capacity.
The Bottom line is:
I saw this earlier, and I did not want to watch it. Because I know the emotions that it would trigger inside of me.
But, I finally did and Yes, it did make me very angry. 😡
Watch MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, the wife-beating drunk acting like a complete and total classless buffoon on National TV.

Later, the Republican chairmen got his revenge: (via Hotair.com)
My feelings are simply this: what does it say about the modern day Democratic Party? When the only thing that they have left, is race-baiting? Their policies have failed, they’re ideas to recover the economy has failed and now all they have left, is smearing anyone that disagrees with them are racist? This is worse than the Neoconservatives, who call anyone who disagrees with them Antisemitic. Both are equally as lame and ignorant, both cheapen the discussion, and both point to a loss of ideas.
This is another reason, of a litany of reasons, as to why I stopped voting for Democrats. I mean, they are quite obviously desperate and are now hurling anything that will stick. This sort of nonsense was predicted by myself on my old blog way back in 2008, when Obama was elected and now, we are seeing it first hand.
It is amazing to watch. Hope the Democrats enjoy losing, because that is what is going to happen.
I was going to add this to my previous posting, but I thought this one needed its own little posting.
Mitten thinks he’s funny: (H/T HotAir)
Hey Mormon boy, if you think that joking about someone’s citizenship, namely the first black President of the United States of America — you have much to learn about what is and what is not humor.
For those who might actually have an issue with me calling Mitt Romney Mormon Boy; my feeling is this, if Mr. Romney does not mind making cracks about the President’s Citizenship and thereby fanning the flames of racism, then I do not mind reminding America that this clueless dolt happens to be a part of, what was considered, until around the late 1960’s to be a cult and not even remotely true Christianity.
For those who have a problem with that, I have one thing to say — in the words of William F. Buckley: Cancel your own Goddamned subscription.
Check it out. His liberal sneering aside; it is a decent historical account of Republican establishment trickery.
But one must remember, Democrats have done the same stuff. Remember 1968? Just sayin’
The Weekly Standard notes that jobless claims have been revised up and makes the following observation:
Americans need to work and not merely to pay the bills. They define themselves by their work and take pride in their work and in doing a good job. “I can outwork anyone,” is a common American boast. John Henry vowed he could drive more steel than a steam engine and he “died with a hammer in his hand.” The government can hand out unemployment checks but even if they cover the bills, it isn’t the same
Mark this on your calendars, because this is the first time that this non-wilsonian conservative will say of the wilsonian Weekly Standard; and that is they hit it out of the ballpark on this one here.
Of course, it would intellectually dishonest of me to not remind them and my readers that we are in this mess because of the idiocy of BOTH PARTIES. With Bush’s wars and Obama’s idiotic keynesian spending; it is a wonder that were not living in subjugation to China now.
So, yeah, that’s the reality of America and its my reality for the last eight years.
Wow. 😯
When you’ve lost newsweek. You’ve lost the election. Of course, there are dumbasses.

This is what happens when you piece-meal a war, this is what happens; when you leave a war to fester, while you invade another Country, based on bad information. More importantly, this is what happens when you elect warmongering Neoconservatives into power. This is what happens, when you fight “armchair general’s” wars.
You end up with dead people, who should not have to die to protect an empire; and you get religious strife within a Country.
In Afghanistan:
Via Detroit News:
Kabul, Afghanistan — A man in an Afghan police uniform shot and killed an international service member on Sunday, NATO said, raising the death toll to 10 in such attacks in the space of just two weeks.
The surge in violence by Afghan allies against their international partners has raised doubts about the ability of the two forces to work together at a key transition time. Afghan forces are expected to take over security for the country by the end of 2014, when the majority of international combat forces are scheduled to leave.
On the other side, a coalition airstrike killed dozens of Taliban militants, including one of their leaders, officials said.
Few details were immediately available about Sunday’s killing of a coalition member in southern Afghanistan. NATO said only that they and Afghan authorities were investigating. Afghan officials could not be reached for comment.
The Taliban have been actively recruiting members of the Afghan security forces, saying in a statement last week that they considered these turncoat attacks a major part of their strategy against international forces.
In Iraq:
Via The Detroit News:
Baghdad — A bomb struck the convoy of a senior Sunni cleric in western Baghdad on Sunday, killing four and critically wounding the anti-extremist Muslim leader, police said.
The attack highlights the threats faced by relatively moderate Sunni clerics whom the Shiite-led government needs to help rebuild the country and establish security. It follows a series of assaults in what is becoming an increasingly bloody month.
The blast in the capital’s Yarmouk neighborhood left Sheik Mahdi al-Sumaidaie badly hurt, a Sunni religious official said. The cleric had just finished leading prayers at a nearby mosque to mark the beginning of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which follows the holy month of Ramadan.
Al-Sumaidaie has sided with the government against Sunni extremists. Earlier this year, he called for a unified religious authority to bridge the gap between Iraq’s Sunnis and Shiites. Insurgents often target Sunni clerics seen as working closely with the Shiite-led government.
Two police officers and a hospital official confirmed the attack. They said four of the cleric’s bodyguards were killed and three others were wounded.
All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki condemned the attack. In a statement posted on his website, the Shiite leader said the attack was aimed at “spreading sedition and silencing any patriotic moderate voice.”
“Even as we condemn this ugly crime, we are confident that our people are aware of the evil goals of such schemes,” he said.
The invasion of the Sovereign Nation of Iraq was supposedly to bring peace and stability to that region. So much for that eh? The only thing that the invasion of Iraq did was destabilize and inspire more Muslims to become radicalized, and try to attack America and our allies. As for Afghanistan, that war could have been fought quickly and efficiently; however, because the American people were looking for a scalp, after the events on 9/11 and Osama was well protected within Afghanistan and Pakistani ranks — President George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq.
This left the Afghanistan War to fester and turn into what it is today —- a huge cluster fark. This was a huge error on our part and one that will be stain on the United States of America for a very long time. This War was about as bad as Vietnam, if not worse. What made this worse than Vietnam, is the fact that Vietnam was requested by the United Nations at the time. The Military action in Iraq was requested by no one at all, and was based upon false premises and horrifically bad information by a dissident who defected to Germany.
Least anyone think that I have become anti-military or something silly like that; none of the above was the fault of the United States Military. The United States Military did their jobs most excellent, some of them giving their lives in service to their Country. For that they should be commended. However, the leadership, at the time; was the problem. That leadership started in the White House, and for that we, the American people — will be paying, for a very long time —- fiscally, spiritually, and the eyes of the World. The United States of America, in the span of about eight years —went from being the World’s leader to the World’s bully in the eyes of the rest of the World. The Neoconservative reaction to this, is “Who cares?” But anyone who truly loves this Country, ought be very worried about that little problem.
The best thing we, as Americans can do, is hope and pray that none of the radical Muslims can get enough money and support to try and attack this Country again. It is, truly — all we can do.
I will say this, the American people are about to make the same mistake again. Putting Mitt Romney, as the Republican for President of the United States; is about the stupidest thing that the Republican Party could have ever done. In light of the Bush era, that is. We are about to make the same mistakes again —- In Iran. You watch and see.
