Every day emails and email forwards I often would like to share with my friends and family come from Edward. I don’t always get to them in a timely way. Edward sent one on January 31 about a great show on finances on Moyers & Company. I checked out the site today and found another one on the organizer Saul Alinsky. You can view the full episodes. Glad to see Bill Moyers is back.
I am asking Edward to become a regular contributor so he can post directly on 4comculture.com. Hope he will come on board.

I think that all people should be taught what their rights are before they encounter a police officer; it’s something you should know. And you should not start thinking at the moment when suddenly there’s the police officer, See This Video Will Keep You Out of Jail

. . . . . . . Paul topped that with the infamous slavery quip that he made on Meet the Press during the campaign. He claimed the Civil War was an unnecessary bloodbath that could and should have been avoided. All Lincoln had to do was buy the slaves. Other slave promoting countries, asserts Paul, didn’t fight wars and they ended slavery peacefully. Paul’s historical dumbness could and should have been laughed off. It wasn’t. It was intently debated, and defended. The scarier point was that it was taken seriously at all.
Paul’s intrepid band of true believers was unfazed by the controversy; they reveled in it. Paul gave them plenty more ammunition. He asserted that blacks are criminally inclined, political dumb bells, and chronic welfare deadbeats. There was also the alleged Paul hobnob with a noted white supremacist. Here’s what Paul on his campaign website ronpaul2008.com had to say about race. In fact, he even highlighted this as “Issue: Racism” on the site. “Government as an institution is particularly ill-suited to combat bigotry.” In other words, the 1954 landmark Supreme Court’s Brown vs. Board of education school desegregation decision, the 1964 and 1968 Civil Rights Acts, the 1965 Voting Rights Act, and legions of court decisions and state laws that bar discrimination are worthless. Worse, says Paul, they actually promote bigotry by dividing Americans into race and class. . . . . . . . . .
Ron Paul will win the Iowa Caucus whether he actually comes out on top or not. A win for him simply means a solid showing, which he’ll make. He’ll accomplish that feat because he has a legion of young, and not so young, fanatical true-believer devotees that have anointed him as the political second coming of St. Paul and Mother Teresa. They do three things that are absolutely indispensable to a successful campaign: organize, organize, organize. …Full Story
