Presidential Candidates

Saint Newt Gingrich, Savior of the modern African American

According to Republican Presidential Candidate hopeful Newt Ginfrich, the African American community should demand paychecks over food stamps. Good ol' Newt even offered to go to the NAACP to teach African Americans the importance of demanding for paychecks. What a sweet man for willing to take time out of his busy schedule to go talk at the NAACP conference to tell African Americans, "F food stamps, go get a job!"

Although his statement was only twenty-five seconds long. It spoke volumes to me. 

Newt Logic

1. African Americans = Food Stamps 

In this case, Newt Logic simply means everyone on food stamps are people in the African American community. No one else in the United States is on food stamps. Only Black people are poor and stealing money from the government in the form of food stamps which brings me to second point of Newt Logic in this statement... 

2. African Americans = Stealing

According to Newt Logic, African Americans are stealing from their governments in the form of food stamps. How so? It's "free money" from the government to help one put food on the table to provide for one's family if one isn't within the means to do so. Newt Logic does a marvelous job of covering this up by saying "they should demand paychecks." Paychecks require someone to have a job, paychecks aren't simply given out at random. 

3. African Americans = Lazy

The third point of Newt Logic starts bringing points 1 and 2 together, since all African Americans are on food stamps and according to Newt Logic this is a form of stealing there can only be one reason for this... African Americans are lazy. That's why Newt Logic claims they should "demand for paychecks" instead of sitting on their a**** waiting for the government to shower them with food stamps. The questions remains... how does one overcome laziness?

4. Newt = Savior

Newt will save the African American community. He will teach the African Americans in our country to get jobs so that they will no longer by lazy, no longer steal from the government, and no longer receive food stamps. Newt will go to the "black people headquarters" aka the NAACP and teach them to work! Newt takes his part in the white man's burden very, very seriously. 

You may be thinking, okay Katie, maybe you've read into Newt Gingrich's comments a little too much. You may highly doubt that so much racism could be spoken in a twenty five second statement, but are my ideas of "Newt Logic" really that far off. Think about it?  I'm not flat out calling Newt a racist, but his comments are extremely alarming. Another alarming example of a presidential candidate making an alarming statement was by Rick Santorum...

Note: Sorry for the biased beginning of the video. 

Yes, he really did just say that. I don't believe I need to explain Rick Logic on this one...

In conclusion, I believe it's important for potential presidential candidates to consider the words coming out of their mouths and how they may be interpreted by the American people. Personally, I've been a bit embarrassed by the circus of Republican candidates parading around.
