Ray's Thought for the Day - Dr. Paul, Again

As the only avowedly anti-imperialist candidate in the Kinglet candidate crowd, and the only Kinglet candidate that might try to stop the welfare for the rich bunch from looting the national treasury; Dr. Paul appeals. However, we have decided not to send him any money either, the or, being the various Democratic Party candidates. That’s because, like everyone else that gives money to politicians, Druids expect to get a return on the dollar, a big return.

Um. Do you remember the Vietnam imperialist adventure? That was when US fabricated an attack on US, the famous Gulf of Tonkin incident, then US proceeded to occupy the southern part of Vietnam, bomb the shit out of all Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and dump lethal chemicals all over Southeast Asia. Ah! The smell of agent orange in the morning. Makes my allergies kick up just thinking about that. Talk about a threat to a personal lifestyle. An all expenses paid visit to Vietnam in those times was just that. Yepper. Those times are hard to forget. US learned from that. What? Easy that, most of US do not make good imperialists. Especially me!

But some of US do make fair imperialists when there are almost free US government handouts involved. Dr. Paul aims to put a stop to all that. Good. More power to Dr. Paul if he can do that. But the Druids still are not fixing to send Dr. Paul any money. Although, Praise the Goddess, getting shut of imperialism would be a return on the Druid dollar, fer sure. However, Dr. Paul may not be totally sincere. Like he may be a Republican. Also, Dr Paul may be the lesser of all evils. But screw that when we are talking campaign contribution.

Now consider these items. First, Dr. Paul is for criminalizing abortion. Druids are of the opinion that abortion should not only be federally funded, but mandatory, for Mammonites. How can we square that contradiction? Easy that, we can’t. So that is a big negative for funding Dr. Paul. Second, Dr. Paul is a state’s rights personage. Normally, anyone who believes in freedom might see state’s rights as opposed to US rights as a good alternative. But we live in the Republic of Tejas (ROT), a Disneyland for the Mammonites. Forget about more power to these ROT Mammonite liars and gluttons. Any bunch that elected the Kinglet, governor, twice; and our well-coifed current, twice, do not need any more rights. Third, Dr. Paul wants the Keep Out the Mexicans Wall plus free trade. How can we make good progress toward free trade, when labor is a commodity just like any other commodity, yet build a Keep Out the Mexicans Wall to keep out the labor commodity component of free trade? Easy that. We can't. Fourth, Dr. Paul is for property rights that pretty much limit my travel in the ROT to Texas Department of Transportation right-of-ways and parking lots. Yepper. Only about 5% of the land in the ROT belongs to the public and a big chunk of that 5% is paved.

So sadly, those are the reasons we Druids can not send Dr. Paul a campaign contribution. Mercy! If a Democratic candidate does not shape up, we may have to write in, uh, me, Ray Pistrum, Sun God Trainee. Er. Should I solicit some campaign contributions? Those might come in handy considering the demands of two beautiful girlfriends and a crazy yet unemployable bosom companion.
