THE RICE THRESHER BACKPAGE FRIDAY, JANUARY 18,2008
Celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day with Ron Paul
Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which has been observed since
1986. But in Arizona and New Hampshire, it is known as Martin Luther
King Jr. Civil Rights Day.
Hey, you know who says he likes civil rights? Republican presidential
candidate, Texas representative and vagina doctor, Ron Paul!
Why, you bet he does! Just look at all the great things Ron Paul has
written about America's civil rights leader.
King* the FBI filW ihov, Vas not onl^ WorlJ-claso
*rt,.ir«rer' ha also aeduced underage girls and boys. The Rev.
Ralph David ' Abamathy revealed -before his death that King had
WB1H» a pass at hie many year**before.
And we are supposed to honor , this "Christian ainister" and
lying iwcial 1st satyr with a holiday that puts hi* on a p*r with
Geox*ge Washington?
Hey, check out this little number from a Dec. 1990 Ron Paul news letter. Paul obvi-
ously thinks that MLK is so progressive that he supported gay rights issues long
before the rise of the gay rights movement And by satyr, Paul must mean that MLK
was a rare creature of peace and rights during a tumultuous time in U.S. history.
Martin I«ther King: Socialist
_ St. Martin was a . world-class philanderer who boat up his
pafbnours ("non-violonco" didn't apply in all Spheres, I' guess).
was a flagrant plagiarist^ with a phony doctorate. He replaced
£orced segregation in a few states with forced integration in all
states. And he was a dodicated socialist. What a guy. Ho probably
deserves two holidays. ' -
Hey there, blimpy boy; flying
through the sky so fancy free
That's right, Ron Paul's got himself a goddamn
blimp. Nothing represents his support for freedom and equality more than a giant bag of air.
RsnFaul
Look at this Jan. '91 newsletter: "what a guy." Ron Paul loves MLK! Paul even thinks
that he deserves two holidays. Truly, Paul recognizes the meanings of freedom and
equality in America.
Blast 'Cm?
While Rowan was head of the U.S. Information Agency under
LBJ, he found out about the FBI bugging of King's multifarious
sexual activities. Docunented on tape: a sexual relationship
between King and hie fellow Christian minister, Ralph David
Abernathy. See the Rowan book for the exact words, which I cannot
bring myself to quote. Am I glad I voted in Congress against an
expensive federal holiday for this man.
And check out this Feb. '91 newsletter. Oops, I guess Paul didn't learn grammar at
doctor school, he forgot the question mark at the end of the last sentence. It is actu-
ally a rhetorical question to which the answer is no. Oh silly Ron Paul.
Given Ron Paul's never-ending support for Martin Luther King, Jr, it is no sur-
prise that Ron Paul supporters are trying to hold another money-bomb fund-
raiser on MLK day. After all, what better way to commemorate the memory of
King and everything he worked for than by electing Ron Paul.
And make sure to support the effort to bring Ron Paul to speak at Rice on
|an. 26. Don't forget to tell Ron Paul supporters on campus just how much you
love Ron Paul and everything he supports.
Thanks to The New Republic for publishing Ron Paul's freedom-loving letters.
If you live in a major city,
you've probably already heard
about the.newest threat to your
life and limb, and your family:
carjacking.
It is the hip-hop thing to
do anong the urban youth who
play unsuspecting whites like
pianos.;. The youth simply walk
up to a car they like, pull a
gun, tdll the family to get
out, Bteal their jewelry and
wallets, and take the car to
wreck. Such actions have —
ballooned in the recent months.
In, the old days, average
people could avoid such youth
by staying out of bad neighbor-
hoods. Empowered by media,
police', and political complici-
ty, however, the youth now roam
everywhere looking for cars to
steal and people to rob.
What can you do? More and
more Americans are carrying a
gun in the oar. An ex-oop 1
know advises that if you have
to use a gun on a youth, you
.should leave >the scene immedi-
ately, disposing of the wiped-
off.gun as soon an possible.
Such a gun cannot, of cour3«,
be registered to you, but one
bought privately (through the
classifieds, for example).
I frankly don't know what to
make of such advice; but even
in ay little town of I^ake
Jackson, Texas, I've urged
everyone in my family to know
how to use a gun in solf
defenke. For the animals are
coming.
And check out Ron Paul's concern for
urban issues in this Oct '92 edition of
Ron Paul's Political Report. He is warning
families about crazy ex-cops who think
that people are animals to be hunted.
Thank you Ron Paul.
