Sen. Ron Paul washes Americas’ dirty linen in public

This angers the American Oligarchy punishable by ridicule including the act of verbal public stoning!

Today I was able to see Dr. Paul twice on C-Span: I saw him on an interview on radio station WHO in Iowa and afterwards addressing a group of veterans. Both times he was busy washing Americas’ dirty linen in his out-door washtub with lye soap and scrubbing board at hand. Unfortunately, Mainstream Media will not play clips from either of the forums. The silly stuff the media is concerned with at this time boggles the mind. I feel sorry for political pundits and commentators who have to do and say what their often times nefariously driven producers want.

As I heard Dr. Paul speak, there were moments when all I could think of was the truth telling of old Negro Spirituals and Southern Baptist ministers. Dr. Paul and I are the same age within two years.

There were tears when the host of the radio show WHO played a tape of a Black man recalling how Dr. Paul delivered the baby of his white wife when he was continually shunned by other doctors and nurses in the emergency room where he had taken his wife when she was in labor pleading for help. The baby was still-born for whatever reason. There has to be more stories like that regarding Dr. Paul we may never hear due to the dismay of the American Oligarchy. Sad.

P.S. When I was growing up, the metaphor meant for you not to wash your dirty drawers in public hanging them out to dry on the clothes line in your yard for neighbors to see. White folks called them linen and we Blacks in my neighborhood called them drawers. This was long before gas or electric dryers in your home. This was the era of out door bath tubs, out door wash tubs and, if you were lucky, wringer washing machines.

Rep. Ron Paul and my comfort zone

Sometimes when you want to write something, you just have to start writing.

For a few days I have wanted to write something about Rep. Ron Paul but I could not find the words expressing my feelings regarding the so-called racist remarks he wrote over twenty years ago. I am fully aware when Mainstream Media wants to demonize a white man, they tag him a racist to stir up and box-in the Black community so we can not concentrate on nor discuss anything other then the racist remarks. In other words, covert attempts at voter suppression.

Further, I wanted to write the fact if we Blacks weld all our votes to issues of white racism, we would never vote for anyone. Fortunately, Counterpunch contributor *David Lindorff has come to my writing rescue and has said it for me:

The racist bit is funny. After all, if we’re honest, the whole political infrastructure of the US is riven with racism. Just check out the public schools in any urban area, where you’ll find most of the students are non-white, or check out the schools in rural parts of the southeast in areas where most of the students are black — compare the condition of those schools and the class sizes to schools in the white neighborhoods. Check out the wildly different jobless figures for whites and for blacks. Check out the (very pale) complexion of the student bodies at just about any state university, check out the skin tones of the judges on the US Supreme Court, or for that matter, the whole federal bench. Check out the racial breakdown of the nation’s jails, and especially on the country’s many death rows, where you’ll find a wildly outsized percentage of people with black or brown skin waiting to be killed by the state.

And he adds this gem, “Being a racist is clearly no disqualifier for national political office. It’s just that you are not supposed to say overtly racist things, at least in public.”

Thank you, Mr. Lindorff.

FICA taxes may go up $2.00 on every $100.00 earned

*Excerpt:
You didn’t know that payroll taxes have been reduced by two percent since the beginning of last year?

In my opinion, the media is erroneously telling the working public that $40.00 will be taken out of their by-monthly paychecks if the tax cut holiday is not extended.

That would be correct only if you are already paying $38.00 to FICA on every $100.00 you earn.

In other words, if you are paying $38.00, you would pay an additional 2% or $2.00 on every hundred dollars earned which would bring your total contributions to $40.00.

With my limited knowledge of math, 2% of $100.00 is $2.00.

P.S. How in hell did Newt Gingrich not get 10,000 signatures in Virginia to get on the primary ballot in March? It should have been a piece of cake. The media continue telling us he is clearly and most enthusiastically the chosen one in all (ahem) polls. A fly in the ointment?
