Doesn't matter who wins the GOP nomination. It'll be business as usual. Just like it's been business as usual with the switch-over from Bush to Obama.
Keep the too-big-to-fail banksters happy, keep the beltway think tanks happy, keep the usual war-profiteer cancer-profiteer lobby crowd happy, and the train of manifest destiny will just keep a-chugging along into oblivion.
Unless Ron Paul gets the nomination.
To be sure, there's more than enough in the Paul platform that I disagree with.
At the same time, Paul is the only candidate who is not like the other ones.
If Paul were to follow through on his promise to close all foreign military bases, the world would change, and the future of the world would change.
I know there is a lot of American pride wrapped up in all the good stuff we bring to the world. Freedom. Democracy. American Idol. Nascar.
George W made the claim that "they" hate us for our freedoms.
Let's stay home and take care of our freedoms, and let the people of Libya, Iran, Syria, Israel, Palestine, Mexico, India and Pakistan worry about theirs.
Why should America go bankrupt worrying about the freedoms of the rest of the world?
Of course, when you think about it, it's not really that much about "our" freedom.
It's about the freedom of a small clique of oil companies and Wall Street banks and war profiteers to keep making profits and keep driving policies that make the rest of the world hate us.
We've seen promises of change before, so let's not get our hopes up.
But Ron Paul just might change the world.
