Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul Continues To Be Ignored By Media

Hey guys, sorry for not posting recently, I've been very busy! I hope everyone's having a happy and productive 2012 so far. I just wanted to discuss something very sad that's been happening in the U.S. media for months. GOP candidate for President has been routinely and shamefully ignored by all of the mainstream media outlets, left, right and center. Even the usually balanced CNN has been quite guilty of this.

The sad thing is, the ignoring of a unique and well-supported candidate that actually has a chance to win his party's nomination is indicative of what many people have already suspected, but probably didn't expect to see so blatantly in the media, and that is the media having such a bias against a certain candidate. This is evidence that his openly-stated views are a major threat to many big players and they are using their influence to censor him. It's too bad that the media has lost its soul. When the media loses its soul, then so does the United States and our supposedly democratic republic.

Instances of Ron Paul being ignored...

Ron Paul strikes me as the best of the GOP candidates because he is very honest, thoughtful and consistent, and has been that way for years. He is not interested in getting elected, if it means he has to do it at the expense of what he believes to be right. You have to admire that. I also admire that he wants to end the expensive/unwinnable "war on drugs", and he wants us to get out of foreign wars and stop policing the world. If we do this, we will save trillions of dollars. Also, he is very much against SOPA and the NDAA bills that are poised to strip Americans of the rights to due process and censor-free internet. These laws are about as un-American as you can get.

Ron Paul talks about what matters and seems like he can actually be trusted... weird for a politician, right? Here's footage of a Fox news guest (Bush/Cheney political strategist) discussing how Cong. Ron Paul cannot be bought...

 

Very refreshing to hear. Everyone should do more to hear this candidate's message, because he is the exact opposite of the dishonest, professional politician that Americans have grown to loathe. He also has a lot of common sense solutions to fixing the economy and making Americans more "free."

Rick Perry's "Openly gay in the military" Political ad....

For those of you who missed Rick Perry's most recent and controversial political ad, here it is: 

"I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school.
As President, I'll end Obama's war on religion. And I'll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage.
Faith made America strong. It can make her strong again.
I'm Rick Perry and I approve this message."

Political GOLD. What was he thinking? He may actually be dumber than George W. Bush and Sarah Palin. It's actually impressive! And conservatives wonder why the Republican Party cannot be taken seriously anymore, even with a relatively unpopular Democrat as President. They're lost.

This video begs the questions... what is actually wrong with gays serving in the military? Literally, what is wrong with that? 

Secondly, why the hell should kids be able to openly pray in public schools? Do these neoconservatives have any respect for the separation of Church and State? What about the kids that don't share their faith? Why can't people worship on their own time? Besides, it's not like kids actually want to pray in school. 95% of the time they're being forced to, and have no idea why they're doing it. 

Leave any answers to these questions in the comment section, please!


Anyways, I came across this hilarious parody of the Rick Perry ad which really underscores everything ridiculous about the ad, Perry, and the Jesus-freak Party as it is today: 

Very, very funny. Trust me on this. Enjoy and tell me what you think, world!

As always, I have the honor to be your faithful servant,

"Do you think evolution should be taught in school?"

Deso asks: "Do you think evolution should be taught in school?"

Hi Deso,
To answer your question: Of course evolution should be taught in school. It is clear that evolution is a scientific fact. It is very unfortunate that many of the conservative/Republican politicians that help make the laws in the United States do not believe in evolution, or say idiotic things like "The jury's still out on evolution", which is a direct quote from the benighted ex-President George W. Bush. So ashamed.

Anyways, just like any scientific fact, it should be taught in Science classes and any other class where it may be applicable to the topic. It is incredible that some people still do not believe in evolution when we see evidence of evolution all the time. One great example of swiftly-developed, modern-day evolution is MRSA or "super bacteria" that are resistant to often several different forms of anti-biotics.

bbc.co.uk explains how this works:


"It's all about survival of the fittest - the basic principle of evolution. Bacteria have been around a lot longer than us, so they're pretty good at it.

There are countless different strains of a single type of bacteria, and each has subtle natural genetic mutations that make it different from another. In addition, bacterial genes are constantly mutating.

Some strains' genetic makeup will give them a slight advantage when it comes to fighting off antibiotic attack. So when susceptible strains encounter antibiotics they die, while these naturally resistant strains may prove harder to kill. This means the next time you encounter S.aureus, it's more likely to be one that has survived an antibiotic encounter, (i.e. a resistant one). Eventually, the strain becomes resistant to different antibiotics, even though they work in slightly different ways.

When you are prescribed antibiotics, you are advised to finish the entire course. If you don't do this, there's a chance that you'll kill most of the bugs but not all of them - and the ones that survive are likely to be those that have adapted to be more resistant to antibiotics"

You can find the full article here. 

And that is proof for the biological phenomenon of evolution. It is not a question of faith, but of observable fact derived from the efforts of science. Deso, I hope I have answered your question. As always, please leave all questions and reactions of this post, or any other ethical questions you'd like addressed by your humble servant.

I have the honor to be yours obediently,
