The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, while visiting a primary school class, found themselves in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked both men if they would like to lead the discussion of the word "tragedy". So the illustrious Rev Jackson asks the class for an example of a "tragedy".
One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy."
No," says the Great Jesse Jackson, "that would be an accident."
A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."
I'm afraid not," explains the exalted Reverend Al. "That's what we would call a great loss. " The room goes silent. No other children volunteered.
Reverend Al searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally at the back of the room little Johnny raises his hand. In a stern voice he says: "If a plane carrying the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy."
Fantastic!" exclaims Jackson and Sharpton, "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a
tragedy?"
"Well," says little Johnny, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either.

I like Ron Paul's manner and I like the way that he speaks. I have to say, the only policy decision I like from him would be to get out of Iraq. Almost every other policy detail he has is way too conservative for myself. I could not vote for Ron Paul if he was one of the nominees.

Matty than stly you are unfamiliar with his policy stances. I highly recommend watching this, its 7 minutes and will change your life. All he stands for are the exact things Jefferson, Washington, Adams etc said to do.
More government solves nothing. The more government you put in place to solve something the worse it gets. Why did Bush double the size of the Dept of Education and the response to that was lower grades, more curves in testing to put us father behind other countries.
Less government, as Thomas Jefferson said, Commerce with everyone, alliances with none. No fake bank like the Fed backing our currency and stealing our money with inflation. Back the dollar with Gold and Silver like we did prior to 1913. Our dollar today is worth 4 cents in 1913. etc. Spend the 7 minutes watching and if you can find one thing he is wrong on you would be the first.

I am not completely read up on him and I do appreciate his historic sense of the founding fathers. While the founding fathers did give us the parameters to set up this institution that we live in, they also gave us the ability to make changes that are necessary to cope with an evolving world. If we still lived in the late 18th century, Ron Paul might be the best politician for the job. Unfortunately we do not live in that time period and some of those ideas may not be the best for the direction that the country is headed.
That said, I am interested in what Ron Paul is interested in cutting. In order to eliminate government spending and government programs I have to wonder what it is that the would keep and what it is that would be needed to be kept and how it would be funded. Alot of his points and your directives back to the late 18th century point to a time when states held more strength than the federal government and were more a collection of states as opposed to a Federal entity.
Sorry.... didn't mean to offend you by insulting your kin.....

Sen. Joe Biden: The President had me negotiate with Gaddafi: He should fire Gates and Rice as appeasers
By: John Amato @ 6:03 PM - PDT
Sen. Joe Biden was on ABC’s THIS WEEK and took President Bush and John McCain to the woodshed over their latest attacks on the entire Democratic Party including Barack Obama over their negotiating in any form with Iran. He busts Bush for being a complete hypocrite. Wow, who knew? Bush asked Biden to negotiate with Gaddafi and he did. And I think it turned out pretty good. And since Gates and Condi want to talk with Iran too, what does Biden think about that? Fire those appeasers now! I’m sure McCain will agree.
STEPHANOPOULOS: It sounds like you’re calling it hypocrisy.
BIDEN: Well, I should — I’m trying to be more polite, but I shouldn’t be. It was ridiculous. This is president — this is pure, unadulterated politics. And the last point I’ll make — maybe the president doesn’t know — I’ll be a smart guy, here –maybe he doesn’t know what’s going on in his own administration. But as soon as he gets back, he should fire, as appeasers, Gates…
STEPHANOPOULOS: Secretary of defense? BIDEN: … and Rice — secretary of defense and secretary of
state.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why?
BIDEN: Because they both — Gates as recently as a week ago –said, we’ve got to sit down and talk with the Iranian directly.
