TYT: Ron Paul Says Black Politicians Just Want More Money For Food Stamps

"Former Texas congressman and three-time presidential candidate Ron Paul has long been one of the most vociferous opponents of interventionism in American foreign policy, but the libertarian-leaning conservative has some harsh — i.e., racist — words for some of his allies in that fight.

In an interview earlier this month with Lew Rockwell — flagged today by BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski and Megan Apper — Paul asserted that members of the Congressional Black Caucus oppose military intervention abroad because they’d rather spend funds on food stamps than war.

“I was always annoyed with it in Congress because we had an anti-war unofficial group, a few libertarian Republicans and generally the Black Caucus and others did not — they are really against war because they want all of that money to go to food stamps for people here,” Paul told Rockwell."

makes sense.

As in many white and Black and Latino Americans need food, etc. and such food is more important than profits for haliburton and lockheed

Big-footing our military might around the world and bombing a lot of poorer countries is far better than seeing that all of our citizens have basic food and shelter. Keeping the world safe for our big corporations will filter (or trickle) down to us all, and make our nation truly "exceptional"once again.

I can feel kindness slipping away...the poor brought their troubles on themselves...they are lazy...pause....Yeah Fuck the poor!
Whew..that was close...much better now.
