Note, linking to this article is not 'supporting' Paul. As I said yesterday, in the Howard Student To Rand Paul: "I Want A Government That Is Going To Help Me" thread,

To me it is more a Andrew Breitbart moment. Without them shining lights onto these problems, I’m just living a sheltered live.

It is one thing to read about GIMME GIMME crowd and their mentality, but another to actually see what this video clip showed.

I’m listening to Rand closely. Hard to imagine he’s got ideas that could actually be implemented that would be worse than gun control and legalizing 20M illegals. That’s where the Republicans are right now..at least the ones in the Senate not running for re-election. And then we have John “I’ll vote for it if the Democrats like it” Boehner in the House.

I am afraid that only the sort of collapse that leftist policies inevitably invite will ever convince large numbers of some people that these policies simply don’t work. Even intelligent leftists (if such things actually exist) are seemingly immune to the truth that policy decisions aren’t a matter if preferences but a matter of what actually works long term. Socialism always fails, free market capitalism always works.

Waste of time. Blacks are owned by the Democrats. LBJ stated it very plainly, almost 50 years ago. I guess we have about 150 years to go, if he was right.

I think Rand Paul could serve a useful purpose by starting to distance himself from the GOP and casting out a vision of “a third way” in the sense of a third party, so we can see the reaction and level of support. I’d prefer he not lead with the drug legalization issue but let’s face it, libertarian principles are generally aligned with smaller government, less regulation, and more individual liberty - hallmarks of conservatism.

I don ‘t know about you, but I am impatient with those Republicans who after the last election rushed into print saying, “We must broaden the base of our party”–when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.

It was a feeling that there was not a sufficient difference now between the parties that kept a majority of the voters away from the polls. When have we ever advocated a closed-door policy? Who has ever been barred from participating?

Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?

Let us show that we stand for fiscal integrity and sound money and above all for an end to deficit spending, with ultimate retirement of the national debt.- CPAC 1975

Truthfully, I think Paul’s idea of pointing out the terrible racism of the left, both historically and today, is very persuasive, and needs to be pounded home like having a claw hammer in both hands.

But the black community also has to be strongly *frightened* that the left doesn’t just want to “keep them in their place”, but that they want to *exterminate* black America in its entirety. Literal genocide.

Which is the truth.

Voluntary genocide, by enabling blacks to exterminate themselves. Giving them the tools and encouragement to wipe themselves out.

“No matter what they say, a liberal is *not* your friend if he wants you, and your family, to die!”

“He is *not* your friend if he sells drugs to your children, if he tells your wives and daughters to get abortions, if he tells you that marriage and two parent families are just for white people.”

“He is *not* your friend if he encourages gangs to run loose in your neighborhood, and wants to keep you disarmed so you cannot protect yourself from criminals.”

“He is *not* your friend for denying your children a good education as a child or as an adult, keeping them poor and telling them that all white people hate them.”

“Liberals truly hate black people. They want them to suffer and die in poverty. And they tell black people that liberals are their friends, and conservatives who are willing to give black people opportunities, are their enemies.”

“Liberals tell black people to embrace the devil and to curse God.”

“Every time a black person votes for a liberal, he votes to kill all black Americans.”

“Any black ‘leader’ who tells you to vote for a Democrat is like a black slave-trader or overseer on the plantation. He gets wealthy by whipping other black people on behalf of the Democrat slave owner.”

“If you saw the movie Django Unchained, the slave owner, Calvin Candie, is a liberal Democrat in every way. Except he is honest about his hatred and contempt for black people. The only difference today is that liberals lie to you about how much they hate you.”

Paul’s third way is should be tried. The others 2 ways didn’t help...

I have a small disagreement with the presumption about non-black minorities. Yes, in the recent election, they were polarized. So were whites. Both whites and and non-black minorities voted overwhelmingly one way or the other, 70 to 30. Something’s not right about that.

We should be able to fetch 40 to 50 percent of the non-black minority vote. Hopefully, this Obama thing is a passing fancy among non-black minorities, otherwise our country’s goose is cooked.

As for blacks, there is a group think among blacks that is very strange. Black people overwhelmingly think of themselves as black people (and think of white people as white people). They are very race-conscious. Possibly, this will change one day, but in this generation it’s a conversion experience for a black person to see past skin color.

Supposedly, blacks are race-conscious but are not racist because they don’t have power. Like, duh?, no black people are President of the United States or Attorney General or in any other position where their race-consiousness enables them to discriminate against whites.

Black people say they don’t want Republicans to put them in the back of the bus. They like being in the front of the bus because of affirmative action, set-asides, quotas and so forth. The idea that no group should have preferences is to them being put in the back of the bus because they don’t think they can compete on a level playing field.

Plus they are willing to have non-black minorities come to this country and gain affirmative action even though the non-black minorities out-compete them, because it just another way to subjugate white people. This is called cutting off your nose to spite your face. It’s irrational, but it’s indicative of black hatred of whites.

So, this is why the country is racially polarized. White people understand that they are the new second-class citizens of this country, denied opportunities because of the color of their skin and demeaned because of their heritage.

This is something we can and should tap into. With 70 percent of the white vote, we only need to “break even” with non-black minorities to win elections.

At the same time, we have to make the choice clear to the non-black minorities, you want to join with the progressive socialists, atheists, sexual perverts, and climate mongerers of the white left and with the black welfare recipients they have cultured (in which choice, you’re joining the black welfare recipients, not the white liberal elite), or do you want to join with the self-responsible, hard working and free people of this country?

True, the self-responsible, hard working, and free people are mostly white in this country; but, they are not of any particular race or ethnicity as far as the world is concerned. Indeed, as far as the world is concerned, they are mostly Asian. Yes, Asian is the new white.

I think if we make the choice clear, we’ll get 40 percent or maybe a tad more from the non-black minorities, and double our percentage among blacks from 5 to 10 percent. Combined with 70 percent of the white vote, and we’re talking about an electoral majority.
