Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Ron Paul has no love for Myanmar victims

I’m stunned that Capt. Crazy hasn’t yet tied the Myanman cyclone with the war in Iraq, considering that the loon does that with every other topic.  From the LA Times:

This week when a Congressional resolution came up for a vote merely offering “condolences and sympathy” to the people of Myanmar affected by the recent deadly cyclone, Ron Paul, the doting grandfather, the millionaire, was the only member of the entire House of Representatives to vote “No.”

The Myanmar resolution, like all those goofy pieces of symbolic legislation, would…

… have done absolutely nothing for the stricken millions. Not even provided one paper towel. It’s a cheap publicity trick that elected legislators waste countless hours on each session.

Such worthless resolutions don’t even get much publicity anymore. And, to put it in blunt political terms, exactly how strong is the Myanmarese vote around here anyway?

So Paul’s symbolic stand against symbolic silliness looks good.

Look, maybe Dr. Doofus feels like I do about resolutions, that they’re nothing more than political gimmicks that accomplish nothing and waste time.  If so, this was a vote on principle, and he should be commended for not voting on something as silly as an empty resolution.

Or not:

Come to find out that Paul has voted in favor of similar empty resolutions to congratulate the University of Kansas football team for a swell season and winning the 2008 FedEx Orange Bowl, to laud the Louisiana State football team for, golly, winning the 2007 Bowl Championship Series and to celebrate the New York Giants for their come-from-behind victory in Super Bowl XLII.

Got that?  Myanmar’s cyclone victims can go to hell, but can we give it up for the Kansas, LSU, and NY Giants football teams?

  1. He should have called their bluff like he has in the past, by introducing a second bill, offering up the first $1000.oo and see if even one of the bastards in congress will spend any of their own $$$.
    The last time he did ( i believe it was for a medal for rosa parks), NOT ONE OF THOSE HYPOCRITES would come up with even as buck of their own money.
    BTW, hope you have already gave thousands to Myanmar from your own pocket since you have to bring it up. Im glad I’m not going to be around for the future people like you are making possible.

  4. Speaking of “calling their bluff,” wasn’t that what the majority of Americans did at the polls when RP was on the ballot at the primaries? Just how many delegates is he going to have at the convention again?

    bwahahahahahahahaah

  6. Wow, rick, that’s a pretty bleak assessment of our future… but it sounds like you’re prepared. Make sure to stock up on Reynolds Wrap – you don’t want to run out of hat-making material. Ciao.

  7. Here ya go rick, stick this in your smoke and pipe it.

    “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
    John Stuart Mill 1806-1873

  8. Lee I don’t think he’ll get it. Pable was pretty much right on the money but Rick sure made me feel better about NOT voting for the Huckster!

  9. I’m glad you have no kids to worry about, Rick. We appreciate you not procreating. There are enough delusional idiots out there.

  10. Rick, your sentiments are quite lovely. Do you happen to work for Hallmark? I’d love to see a brochure of your Christmas cards…
