Former Senior Aide to Ron Paul Turned FIERCE Ron Paul Critic Claims He Has Never Heard Ron Paul Say A Single Racist Word

Eric Dondero, the former senior aide to Ron Paul who is now a fierce critic of Paul's foreign policy left this comment on my blog recently, the last I've heard from him in months now... and he actually had something very nice (and very true) to say about Ron Paul regarding the latest attempt by the media to smear him!

I worked for the guy for 12 years as his personal assistant/travel aide. I can honestly say I never heard a racist word come out of his mouth in that entire time.

There were only two instances in that entire time that could be categorized as possibly "homophobic." But that's it.

Paul is in no way an Anti-Semite as many charge. He has no problem with Jews in the United States. He is however, passionately opposed to Israel, and wishes the State would not even exist. He sees it as a burden on the US taxpayer and too much of a hassle for our foreign policy.

There's many lies being spread by both sides these days, the diehard Paulists, and the liberal media. Nobody wants to bother to get the facts straight. Doesn't fit either one of their agendas.

Bottom line: Ron Paul is not a racist, or bigot or anti-Semite. But he does personally feel uncomfortable around homosexuals, (as do a huge number of older folks), and he most certainly opposes Israelis, (not Jews!).

And for those of you who don't know Eric Dondero, he positively detests Ron Paul's foreign policy and bashes Ron Paul on a regular basis. I don't know that I've ever heard him say anything nice about Ron Paul, other than the typical "he's solid on domestic policy" preface to a rant about how loony Ron Paul is and how he should be no where near the White House.

If any Republican would be inclined to pile on with the racist accusations, it would be Eric Dondero, and if any Republican would have the credentials to do so given his close association with Paul for many years, it would be Eric Dondero... and yet Dondero says he has never heard Ron Paul utter a single racist word.

Curious, isn't it? Ron Paul isn't exactly known for self-editing, not on camera in front of millions of viewers, and therefore certainly not in private among close associates. And Eric Dondero, who can't stand Ron Paul, and who even takes his jabs at Ron Paul's foreign policy in the comment above, publicly claims that he never once heard Ron Paul utter a racist word.

So can we just talk about the issues now? Instead of this drivel that Ron Paul did not write? ...unless you're calling Ron Paul of all people, a liar ...which would be stupid of you.

Obama keeps pushing the bipartisan religion of interventionism

Michael Scheuer is deadly accurate - foreign interventionism is a bipartisan religion (or disease, whichever you prefer). Too often, I believe, Americans think about Washington’s interventionism only as the actual physical intervention of U.S. military forces abroad in places where no U.S. interest is at risk. That activity certainly is intervention, but President Obama’s despicable decision last week to have his administration leak intelligence claiming that Israel has concluded an agreement with the government of Azerbaijan to allow its use of Azeri airfields for an air strike on Iran is just as much an unwarranted intervention by the United States government. Readers of this blog will know that I carry no brief for Israel, that I believe it is a state that is irrelevant to U.S. national interests, and one whose U.S.-citizen supporters are disloyal to America and involved in activities that compromise U.S. security and corrupt the U.S. political system. That said, Israel — l...

How Thorough a Brainwashing

Saw this on Facebook: Left this comment: It's more thorough of a wash job than that. They don't just believe they are not brainwashed, the question has never occurred to them and as long as they keep reading TIME and watching MTV, it's *impossible* for the question to occur to them. Oh brave new world, that has such people in it. EDIT: And one more thing-- don't ever stop considering what questions it is currently impossible to occur to you . This is what I've been thinking about a lot lately and I'm worried just how large and numerous my own blindspots are. The only solution is to be as intellectually curious as possible. To learn voraciously. To read things that challenge us. To read things that are hard for us to understand and then try to understand them. To expose ourselves to ideas far removed from our present culture and place on the timeline. Read old books. Read foreign books. Turn off the TV. You have already absorbed its biases and blindspots. ...

How To Gain More Twitter Followers

Earlier today, I wrote : "My goal is to write a book before the end of March. My goal is to spend no more than a week from start to publication, spending as much time as I need in order to get it done during that week. My goal is to give it away to you for free here on HumbleLibertarian.com. What's a goal you have? Something you may have been putting off for years? Something you could accomplish in one month if you were determined? If it's near-term enough of a goal, and specific enough of a goal, and you share it in the comments below, feel free to tell me how I can help you and I'll do whatever I can. If it's a libertarian / news / politics-related goal, my manner of help would be easy to determine. I could promote it, introduce you to someone via email, (etc.). If it's something apolitical like quit smoking cigarettes, start exercising, learn guitar, start a business, gain more Twitter followers, learn another language, eat a paleo diet, or...
