Yumming It Up

Sorry Sam, but what the Civil War REPRESENTS, what the confederate flag REPRESENTS, what saying you didn’t support the Civil War REPRESENTS is disgusting. I don’t give a flying shit in hell if you say Ron Paul is just “explaining  history”. So if he’s not a racist son of a bitch (which I still believe he is) then he’s a shitty politician with no tack. Either way he’s not for gay rights, he’s not for universal healthcare, he doesn’t support public schools, he doesn’t believe preventing global warming should be a priority, etc. and that isn’t what I want in a President. All these young, “I’m liberal and free spirited” kids need to realize that Ron Paul isn’t the new Ralph Nadar. Nadar is liberal, forward thinking, realistic, and grounded. Ron Paul is none of that…he’s a conservative Libertarian running on the Republican ticket. ‘Nuff said.

Wrong. He’s pointing out that war is not necessary in order to resolve conflict.  That the tensions that caused the Civil War were a longtime coming and that those tensions were far reaching even now.  Just because history isn’t what you thought it was, or it isn’t fluffy with rainbows where everyone gets along doesn’t mean what he’s saying isn’t valid. Don’t bury your head in the sand because you don’t want to hear the history that he is detailing.

Gay Marriage: He believes it’s unnecessary for the gov’t to recognize ANY marriage (same or opposite sex). He believes that it is a religious institution and if a religion wants to perform gay marriages then it has the right to do so and if that religion doesn’t recognize gay marriage then it doesn’t have to do that.

Gays in the Military: He believes gays in the military aren’t a problem and they shouldn’t be prohibited from services because they are of homosexual orientation.  Disruptive behaviors, both heterosexual and homosexual should be dealt with EQUALLY and to the same standard.

Health Care: He agrees that the healthcare system is broken, but doesn’t think government imposed healthcare is the solution.  He believes that healthcare needs to be made more affordable by demand of consumer (I personally don’t agree with this, but he has every right to disagree with universal healthcare)

Dept. of Education: He believes “Teachers, parents, and local community leaders should be making decisions about exactly how our children should be taught, not Washington bureaucrats” because they are ones that actually know the needs of the children in the community. And considering the dept. of education has given us NCLB, which is majorly flawed and the dept. is just another bureaucracy without the interest of youth needs—I can see why he wants to abolish it.

Environmental: He thinks “there are common-sense steps we can take to cut emissions and preserve our environment. I am, after all, a conservative and seek to conserve not just American traditions and our Constitution, but our natural resources as well.”

Race Issues/Drug Issues/Death Penalty Issues: He’s persistently and consistently points out the injustices of the “justice” system of which minorities are the primary victim.  Minorities are more harshly penalized and more regularly convicted of crimes where whites are not. 

In regards to the racially charged newsletter: He didn’t write it. Yes, he should have read it more carefully because it has his name on it and he has final say.  Paul didn’t read a few paragraphs of his newsletter, just like other congress people and PRESIDENTS pass 2, 000 + page bill without reading a single word.

Again, click on the links and watch the videos/read the articles.  Don’t shut your mind just because you believe what people say about him. Hear it straight from the horses mouth.

The last things I’ll say on this subject is this:

He is conservative. He is a republican. He doesn’t believe in giving more money to public schools (which they desperately need). He has said marriage should be between a man & a woman. I have researched him, I have looked at his beliefs, and I can say with full conviction that this man is nothing more than another full blown republican in thinly veiled sheep’s clothes. He isn’t some new brand politician, he’s a trick and a lot of you smart folks fell for it.

Ron Paul’s “South Was Right” Civil War Speech With Confederate Flag

20.01.2012 - Ron Paul has made no secret the fact that he thought that the South was right in the Civil War. Here he is giving a speech in front of a giant Confederate Flag about why he believes the North was wrong in the Civil War and why the South was right.

Ron Paul is a neo-Confederate, and proud member of the Ludwig Von Mises Institute, which has been labeled as a neo-Confederate organization. In the video he claims that the North should have paid to buy slaves from southern slave owners to avoid the war, rather than the South renouncing slavery. Paul also fails to bring up the fact that it was the South that started the war by attacking the North in 1861.

Ron Paul was also was the only member of congress to vote against honoring the Civil Rights Act Of 1964 on its 40th anniversary in 2004. Paul would also claim that he wouldn’t have voted for it at the time, putting him on the side of the racists in both the fight against slavery and the fight against Jim Crow segregation, the two defining struggles of Black people in America.

Several Ron Paul supporters have asked that the video be taken down, from the pro-Confederate channel, Patriot Review but Patriot Review believes that the video could help Paul win South Carolina. If they do take it down,  Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs has downloaded a copy of the video.

a portrait of lunacy 

Jesus fucking Christ.

I’m regretting those two lunch sundaes, because I’m starting to feel them come back up.

I couldn’t get through this, and I doubt my followers will be able to, but it’s important that everyone sees it.

He is.  A racist.  Homophobic.  Sack.  Of.  Dicks.

People will still support him because “this was s long ago” and “he wants to legalize drugs”. Some people refuse to see the truth.

i just need people to note that this happened on 

JANUARY 20, 2012

This is not some skeleton from his past. This is 6 days ago.

Fuck Ron Paul, and fuck anyone who supports him.

All these big dummies here in Austin support this whack job because they only hear him say that he doesn’t believe government should be involved with our personal lives. If you really want to help this country move forward then don’t support a fucking homophobic, racist, unprepared, conservative politician. I get it he wants us out of Iraq and he doesn’t support the FCC. This is all well and good but there’s a hell of a lot more to a President than that.

Damn, he’s a fucking fruit loop.

Okay, I’m not an avid Ron Paul, supporter, but I do agree with many of his policies and he is a knowledge man and uses critical thinking, which many of the previous posters seem to not possess. It’s aggravating when people don’t actually read or listen to what he’s saying in it’s entirety.  Everyone needs to cool their grits!

Previous posters are taking what he said out of context. And as many of the previous posters stated, they didn’t even watch the video in it’s entirety.

1. The Civil War was not only about slavery. It was also about states rights and the south was unfairly tariffed.  States rights and the consent of the governed are the points of this speech.

2. No where does Ron Paul say that HE thinks the South was right. He states that Lysander Spooner (An avid abolishonist, yankee, and northerner—everything contradictory to what the South is believed to stand for) sided with the south because the CIVIL WAR WAS NOT ONLY ABOUT SLAVERY.

3. He doesn’t say that the North should have paid for the slaves in order to attain their freedom—he mentions non-violent means that slavery was abolished in other countries and considering the massive casualties and turmoil that the civil war caused, it’s not such a bad idea.

Why do you think there is so much resentment EVEN NOW that the south feels for the north? Because they were FORCED to completely relinquish their assets without compensation.  Imagine a farmer today having to give up all of his/her machinery used to maintain the farm and subsequently produce their revenue—giving all of that up without any compensation.  The farmer loses everything that once maintained their lifestyle and now faces poverty because they have nothing left.

4. Fun Fact: Lincoln who is renowned as a hero for abolishing slavery and a champion for blacks DIDN’T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE AND DIDN’T BELIEVE IN THEIR EQUALITY! 

“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races [the crowd applauds] — that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people, and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the black and white races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race”—Abraham Lincoln in 1858

5. Ron Paul doesn’t believe that the Civil Rights Act was constitutional because he believes in states rights and having the consent of the governed (which was not present at the time of the act and therefore breeds animosity when people are FORCED to comply). Ron Paul is CONSISTENT in his belief that states have the right to make their own laws, even in instances where he morally does or does not believe in the idea of the law.  Just like his stance on abortion.  He is morally opposed to it, but, “At the same time, Ron Paul believes that the ninth and tenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution do not grant the federal government any authority to legalize or ban abortion. Instead, it is up to the individual states to prohibit abortion.”

6. This video was not posted only a few days ago, but it’s from 2003.

7. You know how people say, “if you don’t like it, then leave”? Well, the states that disagreed with the north on these multiple issues were not legally allowed to leave for the first time ever.  Before the 1860s, New England states had discussed secession from the Union in the 1814 Hartford Convention, and no objection was brought up, UNTIL the time of the civil war.

8. The speech was in it’s entirety about the issue of secession (which the confederate flag is a primary symbol representing the idea of secession) and whether states have the right to secession. Here’s an additional video from the same speech.

9. Click the links and actually read them/watch them in their entirety.  You look like an ass when you don’t actually watch the entire video or read the entire article and furthermore admit that you didn’t watch all of it. 

10. He’s not preaching his personal beliefs, he’s explaining history (ya know, actual history and not revised history).

End Rant.

Please stop following me if you support Ron Paul. End rant.

Unfollowed. End Rant.

Sorry Sam, but what the Civil War REPRESENTS, what the confederate flag REPRESENTS, what saying you didn’t support the Civil War REPRESENTS is awful. Go into any primarly black neighborhood wearing a confederate flag or rambling about how the Civil War was “unfair because the South wasn’t given money for their property” and see just how they react. Because no matter how you claim the Civil War was about more than slavery, that’s what it is known for not only to the black community but to most of the US population. Its disgusting to try and downplay such a disturbing time in America’s history & make it about the poor widdle South being overpowered by the Federal government. I don’t give a flying shit in hell if you say Ron Paul is just “explaining  history”. So if he’s not a racist son of a bitch (which I still believe he is) then he’s a shitty politician with no tack. Either way he’s not for gay rights, he’s not for universal healthcare, he doesn’t support public schools, he doesn’t believe preventing global warming should be a priority, etc. and that isn’t what I want in a President. All these young, “I’m liberal and free spirited” kids need to realize that Ron Paul isn’t the new Ralph Nadar. Nadar is liberal, forward thinking, realistic, and grounded. Ron Paul is none of that…he’s a conservative Libertarian running on the Republican ticket. ‘Nuff said.

PS a small comment on Ron Paul’s abortion stance, if Roe vs Wade is overturned and all states decide for themselves whether abortion should/shouldn’t be legal then at least 10 states (my new home of TX included) would make a woman’s right to chose illegal. Roe vs Wade is the only thing keeping those bastards’ laws out of my vagina.

Eternia & Moss - Its Funny

I have an entire playlist of just female MCs and this lady is one of my favs.

This festival already has Seth Myers, Aziz Ansari, Maria Bamford, Steven Wright, etc. booked. Its slated to surpass SXSW comedy and be one of the biggest comedy festivals in the country.

My little ol’ sketch group TNM 10 will also be performing in this…

I cried. I legit started ugly, white girl sobbing when the email popped up. I’m extremely lucky that The New Movement (the theater I perform at regularly) was asked to book a lot of the improv & sketch groups. People like me rarely get these breaks. I’m not worthy to perform in the same festival as Seth Myers. I’m really not. But I promised myself if this type of opportunity came up I’d fucking muster every ounce of strength and talent from the deepest part of my insane 22 yr old soul I could. From the great words of Socrates “girl has some real badass shit to do”.

Sometimes I wonder if I started dating my gentleman-friend because my roommate said he was “Jason Segel in real life”. Either that or I like all tall man-boys who love basketball. This could be an issue.
