to Ron Paul
I'm making a big mistake not heeding the example set by our news
media. I know you thrive on any attention whatsoever, even bad
attention, and by writing this I'm only enabling you. I know that I
should ignore you, out of sight, out of mind, like decent people do,
but your disruptive behavior is out of hand, and it's time someone set
the record straight.
We've tolerated your "anti-establishment" Tea Parties, tearing up
public parks, blocking traffic, and embarassing the rank and file of
the Republican Party. We've tolerated your loony signs spread all over
the interstate highways and overpasses. We've tolerated you flooding
YouTube with melodramatic videos deifying your candidate. We've
tolerated disrupting straw polls by getting your weird friends to vote
for your candidate and spamming online polls in the same manner. We've
tolerated your "Austrian Economics", even though the last time someone
listened to an Austrian's economic plans, we got a two front world
war. We've tolerated your weird remarks, your weird slogans, even your
weird smells. We've even tolerated your psychotic hatred of money
while at the same time professing to be "capitalists." Worst of all,
we've even tolerated your remarks blaming America for 9/11, almost
implying that "we deserved it", your isolationist ignorance of the
growing threat of Iran's nuclear ambitions, and in a roundabout way
supporting the destruction of Israel, but now because of your coercive
attacks on our most revered and respected democratic and financial
institutions, I can no longer keep my silence.
I'm referring to your latest round of ADHD fueled antics, the infamous
"Occupy Wall Street" protests. That's just what America needs, a bunch
of greasy sign wavers trespassing in parks, building tent cities,
screaming "End the Fed", and creating such a disturbance that Michael
Bloomberg himself had to throw his hands up in defeat and order his
police not to arrest you for fear that you'll start a riot that will
ignite your glorious "global revolution". I fail to see what trashing
a public park will accomplish, for yourselves or the economy in
general, but if that's the kind of nonsense we have to tolerate to
prevent another Kent State massacre, so be it. We'll tolerate you
"99%'ers", even though I fail to see what 99% of humanity you claim to
be a part of. If nothing else, you've proven to us why Ron Paul and
Barack Obama aren't fit to be president, since they've given their
approval of your disruptive behavior as you're espousing the same
class warfare fueled socialism. On the one hand you're screaming about
ObamaCare being "unconstitutional" and demanding free markets, then
demanding free health insurance and protectionism.
To understand your behavior, we must examine the psychology of the
average Ron Paul cultist. It's obvious you were disruptive as
children. Your inability to pay attention and behave in public schools
has put you at a tremendous disadvantage; you were unable to attend
college and get a decent job, and so you work a minimum wage McJob
with no future. You have terrible credit, and so you despise banks and
qualified professionals. You're lashing out against a system that has
offered you great opportunities time and again, even now, yet you
choose not to avail yourselves of these opportunities, opting instead
to pitch a tent in Central Park. I fail to see how this is going to
fix our economy.
Now we're inundated on a daily basis with disturbing images
reminiscent of the 60's of radical dope smoking hippies being dragged
away, screaming about the constitution, never understanding for a
minute why they're being arrested. "It's the system, man!" The reason
you people get arrested is because every time the police see someone
with a Ron Paul sign or T-shirt, it's a good bet he's going to be some
loud troublemaker spouting off about laws enacted in the 1700's, who
hasn't taken a bath in a week and isn't interested in anything other
than making quiet, productive people's lives a living Hell. And your
response? To quote a Ron Paul blog site participant, "abolish the
pigs!" Sure, get rid of the police and give everybody a gun, that will
solve all our problems. It worked so well for Dodge City that the
phrase "Get out of Dodge" was coined.
For all your talk about "the rule of law", you have no respect for
those whom We The People have empowered to legislate and enforce the
law. Your respect for the law is selective, depending on which side of
the futon you woke up that day.
And that brings me to another question; why the obsession with guns?
You're not a police officer, and you're not a billionaire who could be
kidnapped for ransom, so why do you feel so threatened that you need
military style assault rifles? Sure, we all respect the second
amendment, but nobody's coming to get you, unfortunately not even the
funny farm police. You're living in a paranoid fantasy world with
delusions of relevance. Truth be told, you people shouldn't be allowed
to own guns with all this revolution and overthrowing the government
talk. Your anti-government views have gotten so bad and so publicly
well known that even the Missouri State Police have issued memos that
you should be closely watched! We know of why you want to overthrow
the government. We see the blatant racism. Thanks to the Southern
Poverty Law Center, we know about the websites full of skinheads,
white supremacists, and dysfunctional angry men slumming for foreign
women, waxing how much they love Ron Paul. We all know Obama is bad
for America, but to take it out on him because he's African-American?
We've read Ron Paul's newsletters from way back, containing remarks
about "fleet-footed black males" and all of the Stormfront articles
supporting segregation and discrimination. We know about his plan to
legalize heroin and crack cocaine, while at the same time abolishing
the Civil Rights Act which will only result in African-Americans being
thrown out of their jobs and back onto the streets to die from
narcotics addictions in deteriorating ghettos.
Seriously, do you really think legalizing drugs would be a good idea?
The drug cartels are international terrorist organizations who prey on
the people of Latin America and start wars against their own
governments. The only thing wrong with the War on Drugs is that the US
government has not yet used the military to fight this war the way it
should be fought. If anything, your candidate is busy making speeches
about how Obama should be impeached for killing a terrorist in Yemen,
yet ignoring his supplying of arms to terrorists in Mexico. Your
position? You want to legalize, tax, and enable those very same drug
cartels to make more money and have more power to flood our streets
with poisons that kill our children. You're backing a candidate whose
policies will result in children dying from drug addictions, but then
again, "Mr. Pro-Life" is an OB/GYN, and we all know what OB/GYN's do
at Planned Parenthood clinics, don't we?
You've got to take a good long look at your candidate. How could you
support a nutcase who wants to end the Department of Education, which
has single-handedly been responsible for the upward mobility of
millions of Americans? Or his desire to end Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac, which have been responsible for millions of Americans being able
to acquire their most precious investments, their homes? Or his desire
to end the Civil Rights Act, which I'd mentioned previously, which
would only result in another round of Jim Crow laws and set race
relations back a century? Or his desire to end the Federal Reserve,
which would take away our most powerful tool in our economic arsenal?
Or his desire to bring all the troops home, so we can fight terrorists
not over there, but over here? Or his desire to end the federal income
tax which makes Herman Cain's half-witted 'Pizzanomics' 9-9-9 plan
palatable by comparison. His nihilistic positions and policies aren't
just disastrous like Obama's, they're outright suicidal! Drastic
measures need to be taken, and your candidate's position is to do
nothing at all?
Moreover, you've got to take a good long look at yourselves. You're
not accomplishing anything productive. You've chosen the short end of
the stick time and again because it was easy and simple and didn't
require focus or commitment. It's paid you back in spades and you're
rationalizing your lot in life by directing your hate filled rage at
the top 1% of the people who've put in the time and effort to get
ahead. It's time for you to put away your sour grapes and stop being
sour losers. Nothing in life is free; it requires hard work and a lot
of effort. Unfortunately, you have not learned that lesson in life.
All you've learned is how to cause a ruckus and throw a monkey wrench
into a well oiled machine that's worked out very well for hundreds of
millions. Lucky for us, our system is strong, and it works, and
there's no way we're going to let you tear it apart and drag us down
to your level. You are an embarrassment, and we've had it!
We're tired of you standing around on street corners waving signs like
crazy old street preachers who kidnap little girls, your constant non
sequitur remarks about "worthless paper" and silver and gold, your
whacked out conspiracy theories explaining how JFK was assassinated by
the Moose Lodge because of a recurring celestial alignment, your tin
foil hat amateur radio clubs, and in essence, we're tired of having to
deal with the disruptive behavior of a bunch of weirdos. It's time for
you to make the change to be better people, stop being menaces to
society. Stop being antisocial, assuming you're medically capable.
Stop hanging out under the bleachers and come out and celebrate with
the winning team! We're all waiting for you if you're willing to put
your hatred aside and let us welcome you into a larger world.
