The more I observe U.S. politics, the more I am sickened by racial politics. Don't get me wrong; this is also an observable trend in Europe. The fact is that race and nationality have always been explosive issues. Politicians and political interest groups know this and use it to damage or completely discredit the opposing ideology. Liberals in the U.S. would have you believe that conservatism or rightist politics is the source of all racist thought in America. To believe this, one would have to ignore history completely and the fact that many of the most brutal racist policies the world has ever seen have come from leftist (statist) regimes such as Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany (admittedly a hybrid of left and right), etc. Of course, liberal-leaning journalists don't always say that so-called rightists are racist outright. Innuendo is enough, just like in this Salon article on Glenn Beck I came across today. Another example is when CNN investigated some supposedly racist statements in a Ron Paul newsletter (Video just below). The point is that once the accusation of racism has been leveled by a news outlet, it is next to impossible to refute it. If it is ever retracted, it is normally on the back page somewhere after the damage has already been done.

All people of all races are welcome to be Conservatives. For some reason a lot of non-white races embrace Communism nowadays. I wonder why?
Because it’s easier than thinking. Or working.
Because it is in their interest to do so.
Why did you change the title to make it appear to be about Beck rather than an apologia for Ron Paul?
