This isn’t about an election; this is about the survival of America. Why can’t we see that our two party system has failed us? Each telling their own beneficial lies and pointing at the others failures, while neither serve the best interests of American citizens. Yet we will elect one the status quo candidates in November and insanely expect positive change.
On the military front, it seems that the U.S. is absolutely intent on engaging in a new world war. News this morning reported that Condoleezza Rice has made an agreement with Poland for the U.S. to place a missile defense system in that country against the strong objections of Russia.
Let’s turn the tables around. If Russia were placing the same system in Mexico, would we have a problem with it? Enough said.
Why does our government insist on the continual military buildup in foreign nations when our domestic situation is crumbling around our feet? Why do we go out and pick fights around the world when we can’t control the violence in our own cities? Why do we have the largest per capita prison population in the world? The answers are all the same. Our government believes that we can control the world and our own people by force. History indicates that they are wrong.
Our continual conflicts with the rest of the world will create a common cause between such resource rich countries as Russia and the growing industrial might of China and Korea. Where will that leave the U.S.?
Some of you may see our military actions and buildup in foreign lands as justified, but as Will Rogers said, “When you get into trouble 5,000 miles away from home, you’ve got to have been looking for it.”
Ron Paul stated that as president, he would pull the American troops out of the 130 countries around the world where they are based. I agree. We cannot rule the world by force, no more than we can rule our own people by force. If I’m not mistaken, our Constitution was written to state that very thing.
