America is once again forcing the game in Muslim-ville, trying to empower the majority of Sunni Muslims in Saudi to stand up against the predominately Shiite Muslims of Iran. You know the story - both Republicans and Democrats are wasting American lives and resources in Iraq to empower the Sunni Muslims in that country. Like everything else the US government interferes with, this too will come back to haunt us.
America is having some serious financial problems. Last week I watched the Republican debate held in Myrtle Beach. Every candidate, except one, outright refused to say the USA was in any kind of recession. Let's review some stupidity (all just identified with Reagan without any original thoughts - except for Ron Paul):
Huckabee: He hopes we're not headed for a recession (he doesn't know). If we do go into a recession he blames oil prices and sub-prime mortgages.
Giuliani: He doesn't know if we are or not and we need the way of Ronald Reagan back in control. In other words, he had no original ideas.
McCain: Didn't know if we were in a recession or not and proudly declared "I'm proud to have been a member of the Reagan revolution, a foot soldier" and proceeded to reference Reagan in various ways.
Thompson: Made sure everyone knew Giuliani's plan based on Reaganomics was the same as his plan. He didn't state any solution, just stated current facts. Not a single vision of less government regulations.
Ron Paul: The only one with guts to say "I believe we're in a recession" was the statement from Ron Paul.
I think it's going to get a lot worse if we continue to do the wrong things that we've done in the past, that it's going to be delayed, just as what happened in the Depression... But you have to understand that over-stimulation in an economy by artificially low interest rates by the Federal Reserve is the source of the recession...Dr. Paul was the only one with intelligent answers, didn't use Reagan as an answer, and knew the problems and what would need to be the solutions.
The full transcript is here.
I elect Huckabee as the most dangerous presidential candidate. This crazed liberal ex-minister wants to show the gates of hell to anyone that dares threaten our war ships even if we are skimming the borders of countries where we shouldn't be (referring initially to the Iran speedboat incident).
Ron Paul's intelligence overruled the ignorance and war mongering of Huckabee when he said:
They could take care of those speedboats in about five seconds. And here we're ready to start World War III over this?
And now, guess what, today, the Navy commander of the Fifth Fleet was on ABC and announced that, you know, that voice might not have come from those vessels. So what does that mean?Was there a rush to judgment on this, ready to go to war?
And you know there are people in this administration and in Washington, D.C., that are looking for the chance.They were so disappointed with the national estimate on intelligence. And they were disappointed that there's no attempt to build weapons in Iran since 2003.
