Once again Republican war hawks are campaigning to take us to war; this time it’s Iran. If some kind of twisted way we allow any one of the four Republican candidates to defeat President Obama, we deserve what we get.
For starters, let’s compare these paper tigers. Brace yourself; you will not be overwhelmed with their manly achievements.
Newt Gingrich the most avid campaigner for war received a draft deferment during the Vietnam War, testifying to the fact that he was studying during this era at Tulane University, and he had children. In addition, he was also impaired with short-sightedness and had flat feet (pes planus).
Mitt Romney has never served in the military, although if one was to listen to his fire breathing war mongering rhetoric; you would swear he’s a battlefield hero.
Before joining college, Mitt Romney received a deferment from the draft as a Mormon 'minister of religion' for the duration of his missionary work in France, which lasted two and a half years. At the time, Mitt Romney’s dad worked an agreement between the church and the Selective Service allowing exemptions from the draft for missionaries. Before and After his missionary deferment, Mitt Romney also received nearly three years of deferments for his academic studies; hold-on, there’s more for this fire breathing paper tiger.
In April 1965, Mitt Romney registered with the Selective Service but was not considered readily available for military service until December 1970. When he became eligible for military service in 1970, miraculously he drew a high number in the annual draft lottery and at that time no one drawing higher than 195 was drafted, how convenient.
Rick Santorum has nothing to be found regarding any affiliation with the military. It feels as if I’m desecrating the word military just by mentioning Rick Santorum in the same sentence.
Ron Paul at least participated in active duty with the military, albeit it was as a USAF flight surgeon in the 60’s; in my book he was an honorable military participant and I thank him for his service to our country. Following his Air Force service, Ron Paul enlisted in the Air National Guard from 1965 to 1968.
It’s astonishing how out of the four Republicans vying to be the next leader of the worlds richest and strongest country on earth, the only one not campaigning for war is the only one with military experience, Ron Paul.
Just writing about these paper tigers and knowing their antiquated views in regard to women, one would think these guys hated themselves because of the way they portrayed themselves as women earlier in their lives.

Desecration Of The Quran
Newt Gringrich and other misinformed ignorant Republicans expressed outrage because President Obama apologized to Afghan authorities for the burning of the Quran by U.S. soldiers. http://kplu.org/post/gingrich-astonished-president-obamas-apology-fans-come-out-newt-spokane The problem with this selective outrage is that it’s not authentic. The only reason for this misguided outrage towards President Obama is because he’s Black.
Proof: Where were Newt Gingrich’s and other racists Republicans outrage towards George Bush when he apologized to Nouri al-Maliki, the Prime Minister of Iraq for an American sniper using the Quran for target practice? http://www.jpost.com/LandedPages/PrintArticle.aspx?id=101752
What’s worse is that the National Black Republican Association (NBRA) acting as if they don’t see the difference; but here’s what’s worst, there are Blacks sitting on the sideline silent acting as if they don’t see the difference!

Are Both Democrats and Republicans Culpable
When I hear pundits say, both Republicans and Democrats engage in dirty politics equally, it really pisses me off. Nothing can be farther from the truth, here’s the proof that this is a false statement.
During the State Of The Union address by President Obama, a Congressman yelled out and called the President a lie. Where is it documented that a Democrat ever showed such disrespect for the Oval Office?
As the ‘Tea Party’ came to prominence, the last time America witnessed racial epithets such as the language and graphics; the KKK had credence. Where is it documented that Democrats depicted such hatred for a White President?
Both the Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum campaign for President has referred to Blacks as ‘Food Stamp’ recipients. Make no mistake about it; there are Blacks on the food stamp program. However, the Census Bureau numbers show that there are far more White people receiving ‘Food Stamps’ than Black people. Where is it documented that Democrat candidates deliberately lied about issues when they knew the facts?
Jeremy Lin the New York Knicks basketball phenomenon had to view racist Asian stereotypical insults from Republican TV hosts and radio broadcaster insiders while placing the New York Knicks back on the NBA map. Where are the same insults from Democrats?
While the Whitney Houston family is in the midst of mourning the lost of a beloved family member, two white racist pigs; John Kobylt and Ken Chiampougo broadcasting on a Los Angeles radio station (KFI AM 640) referred to Whitney Houston as a ‘crack ho’. The two white dogs went on to say, “She finally died, what the hell took her so long.” Where are the same insults from Democrats?
I could go on and on about this, but the point is this, there is no comparison with the hatred being spewed by Republicans towards this Black President as opposed to the dislike displayed towards White Presidents by Democrats.

Whitney Houston
While the Whitney Houston family is in the midst of mourning the lost of a beloved family member; two white racist pigs, John Kobylt and Ken Chiampougo broadcasting on a Los Angeles radio station (KFI AM 640) referred to Whitney Houston as a ‘crack ho’. The two white dogs went on to say, “She finally died, what the hell took her so long.”
I promised members of my family that I would refrain from vulgar statements, but I got to say, it’s a hard thing to do.
What really pisses me off is that the majority of Black people are silent on matters such as this. Most Blacks are silent because they’re wary of what their white neighbors might think of them, or what their white co-workers may perceive how they accept them while they’re working side-by-side. Whatever the reason is, it’s a F’d up situation.
Blacks can continue to play the meek role as Rodney King put it, “can we all just get along.” Hell no! Not as long as the racist Governor of Arkansas, Jan Brewer meets the President and wags her finger in his face; as to say, “nigger you better stay in your place.”
