Imagine

Auszug aus Ron Pauls wöchentlicher Kolumne

Imagine for a moment that somewhere in the middle of Texas there was a large foreign military base, say Chinese or Russian. Imagine that thousands of armed foreign troops were constantly patrolling American streets in military vehicles. Imagine they were here under the auspices of “keeping us safe” or “promoting democracy” or “protecting their strategic interests.”

Imagine that they operated outside of US law, and that the Constitution did not apply to them. Imagine that every now and then they made mistakes or acted on bad information and accidentally killed or terrorized innocent Americans, including women and children, most of the time with little to no repercussions or consequences. Imagine that they set up check points on our soil and routinely searched and ransacked entire neighborhoods of homes. Imagine if Americans were fearful of these foreign troops, and overwhelmingly thought America would be better off without their presence.

Imagine if some Americans were so angry about them being in Texas that they actually joined together to fight them off, in defense of our soil and sovereignty, because leadership in government refused or were unable to do so. Imagine that those Americans were labeled terrorists or insurgents for their defensive actions, and routinely killed, or captured and tortured by the foreign troops on our land. Imagine that the occupiers’ attitude was that if they just killed enough Americans, the resistance would stop, but instead, for every American killed, ten more would take up arms against them, resulting in perpetual bloodshed. Imagine if most of the citizens of the foreign land also wanted these troops to return home. Imagine if they elected a leader who promised to bring them home and put an end to this horror.

Imagine if that leader changed his mind once he took office.

The reality is that our military presence on foreign soil is as offensive to the people that live there as armed Chinese troops would be if they were stationed in Texas. We would not stand for it here, but we have had a globe straddling empire and a very intrusive foreign policy for decades that incites a lot of hatred and resentment towards us.

We support Ron Paul

Einige haben es sicher schon mitbekommen, da ein Bild in der Navigationsleiste davon kündet. Wir möchten euch einen amerikanischen Präsidenschaftswahlkandidaten besonders ans Herz legen: Ron Paul.

Höchstwahrscheinlich werden die meisten nie von ihm gehört haben, da er nicht so viel Publicity bekommt wie die anderen Kandidaten. In den deutschen Medien sucht man erst Recht vergeblich nach Berichterstattung über Ron Paul, der für die Republikaner antritt und noch immer im Rennen ist.

Bitte von seiner Parteizugehörigkeit nicht abschrecken lassen. Die Parteien in den USA haben nicht den selben Stellenwert wie hier und Ron Paul hat schon 1988 für die Libertarian Party kandidiert.

Er ist der einzige Kandidat der die amerikanischen Soldaten unverzüglich ! aus dem Irak abziehen würde und der jedwede imperialistische Außenpolitik ablehnt. Jedoch ist er aber kein Sozialist wie beispielsweise Barack Obama.
