Friends,
We live in dire times. Food banks are increasingly common. People in places like L.A. or St. Petersburg are becoming literal nomads in our formerly prosperous land, living under interstate overpasses, sleeping on the sidewalk in front of churches. One man I saw was literally digging through trash cans for items to shove into his shopping cart.
Well, if we ever had a direct biological or nuclear attack on our infrastructure, we would be in grave danger. National guard units deployed to Iraq. Army Reservists called up to Active Duty. Police Officers already strained to the max enforcing supposed 'immigration laws' that are nothing but anti-Hispanic pandemonium (caused by the secular right of Romney, Giuliani, et al . . . NOT the Religious Right, the SECULAR RIGHT!).
But in steps Ron Paul to supposedly "save the day . . ."
Will he now?
I do not think so.
The Libertarian Political Philosophy although to be admired for its staunch protection of Constitutional Freedoms and non-interventionist approaches to use of military dollars, men, women and arms, is nonetheless fatally flawed as an economic approach to government.
Take this one ill-advised Republican proposal of Senator John Sununu (New Hampshire). Senator Sununu, espousing the typical bourgeois, non-assistance approach to financial domination by free-market principles wants to cut Amtrak train subsidies by 10 billion dollars.
In theory, this Right Political move (saving money!) sounds GREAT! But, alas, like many good ideas, when in theory the work seems sound, the practice is horrific.
Does not Senator Sununu remember 9/11?
Everyone, including myself in travelling to a friend's wedding in Washington, D.C. was literally forced to ride the train!
I was even interviewed on television less than two weeks after 9/11 by a Washington, D.C. area news reporter who asked me about my fears, concerns, etc. with travel after 9/11 . . . The sight of the TV interview? You guessed it. An Amtrak train station!
So, if you want to see bankers run the country while they charge usurous interests rates and then have Libertarians and other Republicans stripping our nation of vital resources, especially back-up infrastructure, then jump aboard the Ringling Brothers Circus of a Campaign called Ron Paul for Prez.
If you want someone who is actually SMARTER than Federal reserve chairperson, Ben Bernanke (himself, a former Chair of the Economics Department at Princeton, but notoriously stupid nonetheless!), then please VOTE DUKE!
Duke University (two master's degrees!) is the only coalition of Religious Freedom, Human Rights Protection and Evangelical and Catholic demographics that can save our nation. Liberals do well at Duke as do 'conservatives.' But most of all, Duke produces the finest, most brilliant minds in the world, minds such as Professor Randy Jirtle, a candidate for Time magazine's "Man of the Year," due to his research in micro-biology.
VOTE DUKE. VOTE ROB KING '08
Love in Jesus Christ,
Rob J. King, concerned Democrat Christian (undeclared still . . .)
