Mad republican alert

[map_of_the_world]

I try to stay away from things that are strongly americentric because I really resent the fact that north America as seen as the default position and other places are either not thought about or are tacked on as an unimportant footnote/afterthought but unfortunately American politics does effect the rest of the world and unfortunately for me the people in my government are U.S. government lackeys so:

Ron Paul is a very very scary person and hes running for US president

hes anti imigration and anti refugees

Hes anti welfare

Hes anti-choice

wait did we just get him on all three strikes why yes we did, hes racist classist and misogynistic! And what do you bet we can add homophobia to that little list as well?

but that's not all folks! oh no

hes also anti gun control

To be fair he was anti the war in Iraq but not because it was fundamentally wrong and imperialistic but because it was damaging for America.

Please dont vote for him and ask your friends not to also

I'd not vote for ron paul for the reasons you said, but i have to say that he
was about the only person who spoke out against laws that gave Gw Bush greater
powers. He spoke out against the war when everyone was in a fury after 9/11.

Even a lot of the so-called left went along with Bush when he blamed Iraq for
9/11. You have to give the man credit for sticking to some very unpopular opinions.

Mind, you i *HATE* American politics as i am a slightly mellowed socialist.

We have not read news in earnest in over a year because it upsets us so...
