I wondered when Rience Priebus, RNC Chair, would add his ‘snivel to the aftermath of Paul Ryan’s excursion into social engineering/commentary while evoking the writings and ideology of a documented racist: Charles Murray.
Earlier this week, Ryan joined arch conservative, Bill Bennett on his radio show. While schmoozing up to Bennett and while knowing Bennett’s (I care with my bigoted caveats) belief systems, Ryan showed a deeply troubling inner psyche. We posit he also showed a deep rooted paradigm of many on the Right and a vital social artery of the GOP.
“I care with my bigoted caveats?”
Yes, those are my words for Bennett’s often appearing to care about issues in the black community while drawing from a thought paradigm and speaking words that seem to emanate from a place of deep deep bigotry.
A peep into Bennett’s bigotry.
The Guardian September 2005
“Abort all black babies and cut crime, says Republican”
Excerpt
Speaking on his daily radio show, William Bennett, education secretary under Ronald Reagan and drugs czar under the first George Bush, said: “If you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose; you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.”
He went on to qualify his comments, which were made in response to a hypothesis that linked the falling crime rate to a rising abortion rate. Aborting black babies, he continued, would be “an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down”.
The comments brought condemnation from all sides. The White House press secretary, Scott McClellan, said: “The president believes the comments were not appropriate.”
The Guardian also published this correction related to their September 2005 title:
The following correction was printed in the Guardian’s Corrections and clarifications column, Wednesday October 5 2005
The headline above is at odds with the story which makes it clear that the Republican in question, William Bennett, was not advocating such a step. He was speaking hypothetically – describing such a step as, among other things, ridiculous and morally reprehensible. As our report made clear, the offensiveness of his hypothesis drew widespread condemnation.

Regardless of print, publishing and corrections, Bennett’s remarks were over-the-top a ridiculous set of words. The comments actually remind me of cloaked bigotry and racism Rush Limbaugh openly broadcast on a daily basis.
The Raw Story on Ryan’s remarks from earlier this week.
Excerpt
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) on Wednesday suggested that men in “inner cities” who refused to work were one of the main causes of poverty in the United States.
“We call it a poverty trap,” he explained. “There are incentives not to work, and to stay where you are.”
Ryan also pointed to the work of Charles Murray, a white nationalist, who has used “racist pseudoscience and misleading statistics to argue that social inequality is caused by the genetic inferiority,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

We have published pieces on Ryan’s cognitive constipation accompanied by oral diarrhea, so we will only comment as follows (at this time). In fairness, a day after Ryan’s revealing oral sphincter failure, his staff released the following words, “I was inarticulate.” How many hours were spent in emergency damage control strategy meetings to develop such a weak response to his self-inflicted wound revelation?
As stated above, we anticipated comment from Reince Priebus. It is no surprise the appearance would came via the Sunday Morning conservative communication platforms (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX News, Candy Crowley’s State of the Nation). The following Raw Story piece relates to Priebus’s visit with ABC.
As you read the piece (or view the short video) think about this. Priebus says Ryan was trying to help people.
Point One: Do you recall the one quip, ” I am from the IRS and I am here to help you.” Or, my favorite from days of old. “I am form 60 Minutes and only need a minute of your time.”
Point Two: Why do Republican refuse to accept the higher unemployment rate among black people (Not just men) has much to do with white business owner unfair and unequal employment practices?
Point Three: Despite GOP public aversion to federal spending for human services programs, they attempt to mask their social deficiencies (including bigotry and a lack of cultural awareness and failure to self-reflect on white America) via affixing societal problems on others. Their policies oppress people, yet they find fault in their oppressed victim.
Point Four: Does anyone really believe that Ryan was also speaking about white men who live in the inner city?
Let’s recap your GOP.
- War on Women
- Cut SNAP benefits (Children, elderly, low ranking active military, temporary unemployed)
- Shutdown the Federal Government over the ACA
- The ongoing Sequester
- Denial of and cuts to Veterans Benefits
- Fifty-one (51) repeal Obamacare votes at $1. 6 million per vote equal $81.6 million tax payer funding frivolously wasted for political expedience and placating the Koch brothers.
- Refusal to adhere to public (91%) desire for background check gun purchases in support of the NRA and conservative values.
- Voter suppression (Minorities, elderly, college students)
- “Inner City Men” (cloaked code and a dog whistle) as shiftless and a drain on society.
Who votes for these people?
