Rand Paul supports this Endless War
I wrote Sen. Rand Paul a week ago
expressing my dismay as to his uninformed and/or convoluted thoughts on Egypt.
I am unable to publish my original email since it was a web form that is used instead of a regular email contact.
Below is his (ok, a staffers or even a canned) response:
August 19, 2013
Dear Mr. (I deleted my name from
this),
Thank you for taking the time to
contact me regarding foreign aid from the United States. I appreciate
hearing your thoughts on this issue.
One of the most significant issues
facing our country is the foreign policy of the United States and how we
interact with our neighbors around the globe. The United States and its
citizens are some of the most generous individuals in the world. With the
strength of our Armed Forces, we are blessed to have the ability to quickly
respond to tragedies of both natural and man-made disasters.
The United States is good at
promoting freedom, encouraging trade and supportive of those willing to
participate in peace and benefit from its prosperity. Unfortunately, a
majority of the foreign aid is not given to other countries in response to
emergencies. Most countries that receive U.S. aid receive economic and
military assistance rather than humanitarian aid. Despite billions of
dollars spent in attempts to assist countries and help them prosper, economic
and military aid has had questionable effects.
Aid that should be focused toward
investment and growth is typically funneled into consumption. Instead of
reaching the people who need it, foreign aid has increased the size of foreign
governments or used to line the pockets of corrupt leaders. When it comes
to military aid, countries like Egypt, Pakistan, Syria and Libya have used the
weapons we have provided against their own people, and for other purposes that
are against the interests of the United States.
Foreign aid should not be used to
pressure nations into doing our will, but aid certainly should not be given to
governments that actively work against and undermine the United States. I
have introduced many pieces of legislation and amendments to reduce military
aid to specific nations, in response to their actions against the United
States.
In addition to the problematic
effects our aid has created, our country is facing a considerable national
debt problem. We have seen countries and currencies fall under their
unsustainable debt. We cannot continue to borrow money from other nations
in order to give funds to other countries. We need to get our own fiscal
house in order to prevent ourselves from becoming a nation similar to the ones
in need of our assistance.
Thank you again for taking the
time to share your thoughts with me. It is an absolute honor to represent
the Commonwealth of Kentucky in the United States Senate. Feel free to
contact me again regarding any other federal issue.
Sincerely,
Rand Paul, MD
United States Senator
My response:
Thank you for your response but it
made me sad for America yet again.
That you lump Egypt in with those
other corrupt regimes is amazing.
The military in Egypt is using
weapons not against its own people but against a terrorist organization that
has invaded Egypt and wants to snuff out all opposition.
So unlike America, who does not
play this deadly serious game to win. Thereby creating an Endless War.
I could go on, you will never
understand though. Thats why America has lost influence, not totally due
to the ridiculously childish foreign policies of the democrats but because
you're very insulated in your thinking and will never understand anyone other
than yourself. Unfortunately, it seems our Intelligence agencies are just
like you. This is why they have to turn to Big Data since they cannot
understand people. But I digress.
Lastly, that you use the excuse,
that taxpayers in America deserve better than having their money be used to
stop the murder of Christians is astonishing & shocking to say the least.
Egypt is doing what America should
have been doing all along.
But then again, America no longer
cares for Christians. So you would be right in thinking that Egypt is
undermining America's interests. Now I get it.
I want peace... not this Endless
War and definitely not being forcibly converted to the religion of (un)peace.

Ann Coulter Syndrome
I used to get very upset with Ann Coulter when she first appeared on news shows. She was not very good at answering questions. She would be asked a question then take a few seconds (which seemed like an eternity) before she could gather her thoughts and come up with an answer.
What I realized was that she wasn't stumbling but that there was so much information that had to be given in order to lay the groundwork to properly answer the question, that it temporarily stumped her on where to begin with her answer.
I think that the Republicans as well as Conservatives & Libertarians have the same problem when it comes to their message & the execution of an agenda.
The unfortunate reality in America is that the uneducated (mostly those with degrees) & amoral vastly outnumber those who make an effort to understand the Founding Fathers & choose to live by a set of rules set forth by them.
These RCL's (republican, conservative, libertarian) don't realize this fact.
They continue as if its business as usual in the world of politics which means they think all they have to do is present their message and the uneducated/amoral will have an 'ah hah' moment.
Never going to happen to those that don't care (in this case the amoral) or those who think they are educated since they know everything Marx thought of (our now) dead system. I was horrified the other day to watch a commentator speak about Lincoln while quoting Marx. The fair & balanced news channel never questioned these lofty pontifications of a mad man (university educated) about a truly great man (who had no experience or anywhere near the education of that frothing, unhygienic lunatic).
Which brings me to an interesting side note... they quote Marx yet use the tactics, methods, and...
Quick side notes here:
How does Bill Hemmer still have a job??? He literally interviews himself while the guests sit by and watch.
I have never seen so many hair removal commercials in my life as I see when watching the BBC.
Sen. Mike Lee just gave a great speech... but like I tell my two year olds- 'now do it'.
Which brings me back to where I left off...
...philosophies of Hitler. His forced collusion of business, his take over of the education system, the blatant propagandizing through film, the use of Race are all the foundations of today's Democratic party. How proud yet horrified he would be if he knew that his ideas out lasted him and were being used in such an effective manner. They quote Marx yet practice Hitler.
No one in this country is educated enough to have made that connection.
No one in this country has the knowledge or experience needed to counter it.
Some, very few, in this country might have the knowledge but are unable to attract anyone that is not predisposed to their way of thinking.
This is what I call the Ann Coulter Syndrome. But there is a second part to it.
Phoney RCL's. She 'outed' herself as a phoney C when she started doing impressions of Monica Lewinsky for Chris Christie. She destroyed every true C while championing a RINO. To be fair, as most people that are like her, they are horribly snobby. This snobbiness blinds them while hurting everyone around them. Can you just imagine what she would have written about Lincoln if he had been in the race??? She is a phoney snob that has done everything to hurt C's in this country. Then again, the R establishment all come from her 'neck' of the woods which explains why they act the way that they do while taking down a great country. Snobs- pure and simple. Yet fantastic helper monkeys for the Lunatic Left.
The Ann Coulter Syndrome has weakened & divided the RCL's while opening a obstacle free course for the Marx quoting, Hitler action planning American brand of Liberals who joyously stomp out every aspect of the Republic of America & Capitalism.
They're also gleefully stomping Christians into the ground (literally in some cases) not only here but all over the world. But I digress, that should be a topic all its own. As should the observation that Liberals have extraordinary powers of mental illness.
Yet there is hope. There are two solutions to these all too human (nature) repeating of history.
First... Secession. Like the Pilgrims of old who knew they could not change a corrupt system, they left to form a new land. The Founding Fathers did that in a similar form by 'seceding' from England. These people were realists. Todays Americans are blinded by comfort to see that they now have a government that does not share their hopes and dreams of Freedom. And never will. Individuals bad, Collective good.
Even if Americans choose to stay blinded and be divided so that they fall divided, there is a 'best' & final solution and that is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Until then, everything is a lesser, imperfect solution yet better than the dark, morbid, cynical future that the mentally ill have planned for us.
Not to mention, it is immoral by Biblical standards to stand by and watch while not doing anything (especially if its not affecting you personally, others are lost but hey, at least you're saved, right?).
