With the 2012 Presidential Election upon us,  and with Barack Obama and Mitt Romney about to have their first debate, I began wondering what a conversation between them might be like pre-debate, behind closed doors.  I figured it might be something like this video I put together –  essentially a friendly meeting and a rehearsal.

Originally I was hoping to keep the video shorter, around three to five minutes, but found it quite difficult to do so.  I wanted to be sure to hit on what the candidates might prefer to talk about during a debate, but also hit on those topics that both Obama and Romney would want to avoid.  I also thought it important to hit on a few other important topics, such as the (counterproductive-to-the-American-people) role the Commission on Presidential Debates has in the election process.  In addition, the NDAA and Federal Reserve are also important issues that I thought needed to be brought up, both of which will probably be ignored or purposely misconstrued by the moderators and candidates during actual debates.

The goal was to go after both candidates equally, highlighting their flawed, and often common viewpoints on important issues.  In some ways, the goal was a condemnation of our two-party system, not necessarily just personal attacks on Obama and Romney.  In their personal lives, they might be very nice guys — even family men, or whatever.  But when it comes to being politicians, and understanding, protecting, and defending our Constitution, they’re both terrible.

It’s been a while since I posted my last rhyme, and as promised, my latest piece is about the N.D.A.A. (the National Defense Authorization Act). Specifically, I wanted to address really only a couple of sentences (provisions) within this bill, that was signed into law by President Obama right around New Years Eve, 2011.

In a nutshell, in the name of protecting this country from terrorists and terrorism, the President now has the right to order the military to arrest ANYONE, including American citizens, merely on the suspicion of a connection to terrorism. The language in the bill is vague, and potentially dangerous to the future of this country. And not only can the military now arrest any American citizen without just cause, you can be detained without seeing a judge, lawyer, or trial. Detained indefinitely that is.

This is all being done “to protect us” says the President and our politicians who support this heinous legislation (that violates our Constitution). Let me remind you that pretty much all fascist governments throughout history practiced similar policies as this provision in the N.D.A.A. In fact, Adolf Hitler passed similar legislation, legally. This all sets a very dangerous precedent for the future of the country….and the scary part is this legislation overwhelmingly has the support of BOTH the Democratic and Republican parties in this country.

For my first Ron Paul-themed rhyme, I thought it be best to do something about what’s probably Dr. Paul’s core issue, the corrupt Federal Reserve system.  For rhyme number two, I wanted to further examine a specific topic that’s particularly important to me — Israel.

I am a Jewish person living here in America, yes.  But I’m not from Israel, and have never even visited there. So what really drove me to further pursue this topic? — probably the mainstream media’s continued twisting, distorting, and perversion of Dr. Paul’s views on many issues, including Israel.   Dr. Paul’s views on what America’s relationship with Israel should be, is something that I fear is too often misunderstood by the average person.

Yes, your eyes and ears aren’t deceiving you.  I’m rhyming.  Yes.  Rhyming.  Sort of rapping.  Doing spoken-word poetry, a cappella style.

Call it what you want, but here’s a video about politics, and you guessed it — Dr. Ron Paul.  Believe me, rhyming, and rhyming about politics is not something that I ever expected to be doing, let alone sharing with the world.

As far as rhyming goes, I actually did go through a brief phase of my life back around 2004, when I was writing some spoken-word stuff.  So technically, I do have some (limited) experience with spoken-word rhyming.  In fact, years ago I actually performed twice at “Da Poetry Lounge“  Tuesday nights at the Greenway Court Theater, over on Fairfax here in Los Angeles.  I just remember being insanely nervous, and reciting my words a mile-a-minute.

In terms of politics,  I’ve always had some interest in that — but was never actively involved or even very passionate.  If the subject came up, I’d have go-to phrases like “I’m not active, but I try to be aware of what’s going on.”

But somehow someway within the last year, the more and more I watched and listened to Dr. Paul, I realized that he makes a lot of sense. I may not agree with all of his views (no one agrees with any candidate 100%) — but in my opinion, what separates Dr. Paul from the others, is that he’s really the only one going after our flawed system, which has gotten away from any semblance of a sane Constitutional government.

Believe me, I’m no expert on politics or the economy, but still feel I have something important to share with everyone that can have a positive impact.

Originally I thought I’d eventually just shoot some video blogs of me talking about political issues, but instead came up with the idea to do some rhyming — just thought it’d be a much more interesting and perhaps entertaining way to share information with the world.  And what better for my first rhyme than something about one of Dr. Paul’s core issues as a politician –The Federal Reserve system.

*Note – If you’re wondering why I titled my video “Jewish American Guy…” It’s because given how too often the mainstream media would like us to believe that Dr. Paul is anti-semitic, and that he doesn’t have very many Jewish supporters, I think it’s important that people know Dr. Paul has lots of Jewish support.
