I would END african aid. Part 1,2, and 3

Save Darfur?

No, Leave Darfur alone.

Don't send the military. Have you forgotten Somalia, Korea, vietnam, Kosavo, or Iraq?

Military interventionism makes every situation worse.

Don't send money or food, it makes things worse.

Western money enables dictators like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe to gain and hold power without the support of his nation's people. African rulers learn to manipulate foreign governments and obtain an independent source of income, which makes them far richer and more powerful than any of their political rivals. Once comfortably in power, and much to the horror of the western governments that funded them, African dictators find their subjects quite helpless and dependent.

African poverty is rooted in government corruption, corruption that actually is fostered by western aid. We should ask ourselves a simple question: Why is private capital so scarce in Africa? The obvious answer is that many African nations are ruled by terrible men who pursue disastrous economic policies. As a result, American aid simply enriches dictators, distorts economies, and props up bad governments. We could send Africa $1 trillion, and the continent still would remain mired in poverty simply because so many of its nations reject property rights, free markets, and the rule of law.

This process gives African politicians the "power to impoverish." The bottom line is that despite decades of western aid, more Africans than ever are living in extreme poverty. Foreign aid simply doesn't work.

Despite this reality, many Americans still think that more money and more aid will solve the problum. But what about the people who are suffering here at home, whether from hunger, illness, or poverty? Are their lives and well being less important? Where is the constitutional provision allowing American tax dollars to be sent overseas? Well... There isn't one.

If you are going to give them something, may I suggest a plane ticket.

Part 2:

For those who disagree

Lets treat this a little like math.
X = U.S Response y= Africa

y= -2 (Before U.S Action)

X+y(-2)= Y

Action A = -5
Action B = -6
Action C = -1
No Action N = 0 (Capital says it would be positive, but I will put 0)

That means Action A, B, C create a lower outcome. Makeing
N+y= -2 And therefore making it the highest equation.

Now... here is the interesting part. I have reason to believe that N or (No Action) is actually a positive.

My reasoning? Capital and power. Since situation y is post aid. The environment at the time is of weak under funded militants killing starving villagers. Well what do we know about militants? The militant soldiers join militant groups to survive, not because they are born killers. Militants cannot hold power without weapons and money. If you break the supply lines between a militant group and their supplier. They eventually turn on each other for control of what is left. This can happen multiple times and usually ends in destroying the group or giving the local population time to bounce back and resist the weakened militant group.

It makes the math problum N(3)+y=+1

And improvement in Africa!

Part 3:

African Capital.

On the terms of feeding a starving population, many socialists forget that it was Norman Borlaug agricultural researcher and businessman who was credited with saving over a billion people from starvation. Take that Opera. (the foolish, handout giving, socialist)

Socialism became popular in Africa after the 1960s. Imperial powers ruling Africa where all capitalists. Socialism swept the area because Africans saw it as being consistent with their strong tradition of family and community. The new ruling regimes where usually either inept, or completely corrupt. Take Zimbabwe for example. For a while it had high economic growth. Then Mugabe came along and seized all white farms and redistributed them among the black population. This killed off 60% of the wildlife, raised the unemployment to 60%, and created an inflation rate of 66,212.3%.

Now lets look at Diamond mining in Botswana. 1/3 of Botswana's GDP comes from Diamond mining. Botswana was once one of the poorest countries in the world, it is now a "middle income" nation. It currently has the highest economic growth rate in the world. How has this happened? Botswana is a very free market country. There is little government regulation.

How do we defeat collectivism?

Looking at the results in California and elsewhere I see our biggest enemy is collectivism. Hispanics voted in a large block for Clinton, blacks for Obama, Mormons for Romney, Christians for Huckabee.

Seniors vote for anyone that does not mention social security. Non of these groups even consider how blind their allegiances are. Black people are still enslaved by the democrats 150 years after the emancipation.

What is it going to take to break these people away from their masters? Is it that we need our economy to completely fail? Even then I feel there will be a blame game without looking at the real causes.

People need to grow up, stop playing politics, and start really caring about this country.

***A Revolutionary Victory*** For me and the Cause

I am 19 years old... and the VC(Vice Chairman) of the republican party wants me to become the New Republican County Chairman so I can help "Bring life back to the party".

And just recently I got the entire Boone County Republican party to vote Ron Paul in a 6 min stump speech...

And after the speech, Rep. Johnny Key (Running for State Senate) gave me his card and told me to contact him after im done.... =)

I really hope more of our guys are getting active in the party. I think working within the party is our only hope.

So yeah... (JOIN YOUR LOCAL PARTY!)

Score 60 new voters!!!!! YES! (My speech to Republicans)

Haha!! Yes! *Does Dance*

I'm the main Arkansas organizer, and i've been going to Republican meetings and diners across the state... every one I can attend!

Tonight I went to the Boone County Republican meeting with 20 fellow RP supporters for a total of 80 people. After the meeting issues were taken care of, the chairman gave me the floor.

I have a 4 min stump speech on Paul’s positions and on returning dignity and conservatism to the party. I started it off with my “I don’t look conservative I look like I came from Berkeley” Joke… It was ok, not my best speech, but I get no sleep and was tired.

Sadly I had to step out for a min to organize things for a RP meeting Tuesday. When I got back, a RP supporter was up talking about the CFR... (Oh shit!) A concerned older republican asked a very good question, and that was if RP doesn't get the nomination, would we be there to support the Republicans against the Democrats. Two more of our people got up and started heckling the guy about the "globalist elite", completely ignoring the man’s question.

The man was pissed, and his friends and fellow republicans were getting annoyed. Right when the yelling was about to start I stopped raising my hand and just got up and announced over my own guy:

"Ok, I run the local as well as the state grassroots... (loudmouth shuts up) I've put alot of blood, sweet, tears, and money into this campaign. (loudmouth gets asked to leave) I stay up all night working for this man because I love my country too much to see it fall. I'm about as strong of Ron Paul supporter as you can get… but come election day, I know another Democrat will destroy our country. (applaud) …and if I Ron Paul isn't the nominee, I know one thing for certain, ANY Republican is better than Any Democrat, ANY day... (Cheers) (looking at the guy who asked the question) And I will promise you right now that there is no way my vote is going to be cast for anyone but Republican. (More Cheers)

The thing I am most worried about, and what you probably already know is… We are in some serious trouble. The Democrats have the upper hand on us. We got kicked out of power in 2006 for runaway spending, because of ethical breaches, and we lost our confidence as a party to stand up for our ideals of limited government and free enterprise. I’m sure many of you are in favor of staying in Iraq, as are most of the Republican candidates, but we are walking into this election slaughter with 75% of the population against the occupation. What chance does a Pro-war Republican have against Obama or Hillary? If you want to be really serious about keeping a Democrat out of the Whitehouse, vote for a man who won’t polarize the rest of the nation against us, but instead will revitalize the love of true conservatism in this country. The country I love so much… Thankyou, (applaud)”

Every single person who attended that meeting had to double check my name, tell me they loved what I said, and tell me that they would be voting Ron Paul come the 5th… Every one of them… It got even better because two of the people who attended were both running for state senate seats and asked if I could get in touch with them some time.

YES!!!!!!!! Score!!!



Oh and btw... QUIT TALKING ABOUT THE DAMN GLOBAL ELITE AND THE CFR! Republicans dont care!

What it means to support our troops...

I despise this war…

Yet the President has said time and time again, that we must support our troops…
I couldn’t agree more, but do you want to know what it means to “Support the troops”? Mr. President?

Don’t make their families take up a collection for their body armor.

You want to know what it means to support our troops? Armor their humvees so they don’t lose their lives and limbs when they don’t need to.

You want to know what it means to support our troops? Don’t send them into somebody else’s civil war.

You want to know what it means to support our troops? Don’t send them to war unless you would send your own children.

You want to know what it means to support our troops? Keep contracts out of the hands of companies who apathetically give them contaminated drinking water.

You want to know what it means to support our troops? When they come home damaged, when they come home with their bodies frayed from that war, Don’t you DARE warehouse them with cockroaches in Walter Red hospital.

You want to know what it means to support our troops? When they come back to the shores that they will never see again, haven given their lives for this country, don’t whisk their bodies in, in the middle of the night because their sacrifice makes for bad PR. You proudly display their flag draped coffins like every other American president has done before you.

You want to know what it means to support our troops? Don’t you ever, ever write letters to their parents, to their spouses, to their children, when they lost their lives for this country, with a mechanical pin, you write it with your own hand so you feel what it means for them to lose their lives for this country.

And if you want to really know what it means to support our troops?
Bring them home.

The state of the party...

We are in a very crucial presidential election campaign and so I always ask myself, what would the greatest republican presidential candidate in recent years say and do regarding these candidates. I’m talking about Ronald Reagan, who in 1976 people said he was unelectable, he was a fringe candidate, he would never be elected. And four years later he won the presidency and in 1984 he won the reelection with 49 states. So Ronald Reagan said we need to get government off our backs, and Ron Paul was only one of four congressman supporting former governor Reagan in 1976 and Gerald ford pulled him into the oval office when he was president and said I want your support, and as a freshman congressman Ron Paul said “I’m sorry Mr. President but I’m supporting Ronald Reagan” Think of the character it took to tell the president of the united state they you won’t support him for reelection.

Now lets think about where we are as a nation and party, we are in an unpopular occupation with no end in sight, 75% of people in the United States are against it. We are on the edge of a major recession Congressman Paul has warned about for years; we got kicked out of power in 2006 for runaway spending, because of ethical breaches, and we lost our confidence as a party to stand up for our ideals of limited government and free enterprise. In other words we are at a major crossroads in the history of this country and our party is looking for a leader who can take the party and the country back from the collectivist ideology that is rampant in Washington D.C.

I was speaking to party insiders this weekend and was told that discussions reaching as high as Mike Duncan, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, were taking place on what to do about Ron Paul. I was told that the movement has had a profound affect on the party and is reshaping the current platform. Concessions must be made to the Ron Paul Republicans if the party is to thrive. They said they know the party will lose in the general election to the Democrats without Ron Paul supporters and irreparable damage to the party could last for decades.

To be brandished as losers does not sit well with the top brass in the party, and an incredible amount of resources are being wasted. They said that a return to core Republican values could go a long way in returning credibility to the party. I didn't ask what they meant by this but I know what they were thinking. I think they are beginning to see the writing on the wall, and I hope this is the beginning of a breakthrough for our party.

I think they know Ron Paul Republicans will not compromise on their principles, and this is what scares them the most. They know we will not bow to the Democrats or the Neo-cons.

I despise Neo-Cons and the Democrats in power. They are the biggest bunch of arrogant, power-hungry, self-serving hypocrites corrupting our government that we have had in a century. They answer only to lobbyists, not to the people they were elected to represent. If they're afraid of the grassroots swelling of the "little people" who have had enough of their hubris then so be it. Don't fall for any promises of a return to real republican principles. They have proven beyond a doubt they cannot be trusted - ever

Even if any one of those five other candidates started imitating Ron Paul word-for-word, I wouldn't believe a word of it. Give me candidates with proven track records of fiscal responsibility, limiting the size & scope of federal government, and attention to the Constitution and then I'll start thinking of voting for them.

I have always held a strong belief in the good of man. It is a good that breaks party lines and long held beliefs. Liberal or Conservative, Black or white, Democrat, Republican, or Libertarian….all any American ever wishes or dreams, is for their families to be safe, that they can come home to their families and see children who are not starving in the streets, but that are happy and smiling. Americans want to know that they can provide for their families without being cheated or enslaved, and that their children will always have a better and brighter future than they had. Is that not what we all fight for? The only thing we disagree on is how we get to that “shining city on the hill” The thing is… We don’t create that shining city by winning elections or raising money. We do it by universally questioning ourselves.
We all have good intentions…
Yet, we are in debt 9 trillion dollars… 56 Trillion if you include entitlements.
We all have good intentions…
Yet, too many Americans like the idea of universal healthcare.
We all have good intentions.
Yet democrat or republican we continue to increase the size of government.
We all have good intentions.
But we too often forget to question ourselves…
