Ron Paul vs The Hypocritical Jingoists

Filed Under Foreign Policy, Mark Twain, National, Ron Paul | 1 Comment

“This nation is like all the others that have been spewed upon the earth–ready to shout for any cause that will tickle its vanity or fill its pocket. What a hell of a heaven it will be, when they get all these hypocrites assembled there!” - Mark Twain (Letter to Rev. J. H. Twichell, Jan. 29, 1901)

Human rights abuses in every country on earth arises from one common element—big government.
The U.S. is no different but maybe more unique in the fact that it has had a Bill of Rights that protected the natural rights of each and every person in its states from federal encroachment.
Ron Paul as usual is the only one to scold the self-righteous ignoramuses of congress on what they’ve done to abuse human rights in this country and in others.

U.S. congressman opposes House resolution on China

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) — U.S. Republican congressman Ron Paul of Texas described the recent resolution by the House of Representatives on China’s human rights situation as “ill-conceived” and “hypocritical” and he urged the U.S. legislature to deal with human rights abuses in U.S. or those created abroad by U.S. foreign policies.

“I rise in opposition to this resolution, which is yet another meaningless but provocative condemnation of China. It is this kind of jingoism that has led to such a low opinion of the United States abroad,” Paul, who had run for U.S. president as a Republican candidate earlier, said in a statement posted on the official website of the House.
