March on DC

[citeyoursources]

Ron Paul supporters are organizing a march on Washington sometime this summer - I believe in June. It's not FOR Ron Paul, it's for anyone who is of the mind that the government has infringed on our liberties and violated the Constitution (not to mention fucked up the economy with their anti-NAP blood-for-oil war).

I will not be going, so don't worry about that, but I do have a question...

"not to mention fucked up the economy with their anti-NAP blood-for-oil war"

How do you propose a war messes up an economy? I was under the impression that wars were good for the economy.

And what is NAP?

And how is this a war for oil when the price of crude has skyrocketed since Sept 11, 2001?

NAP = Non-Aggression Principle - Do what you want unless you harm another, but in this case, it's don't attack first.

I propose that it messes up our financial situation by augmenting our national debt by trillions of dollars and making China own us, and making things like oil cost more. So perhaps not "economy" in the foreclosure-disaster sense.

I think the war for oil went a bit awry - I don't think they imagined it would be this hard to win and take everything, but it's not like it's not clear that there's an oil interest here. But don't ask me why prices are going up, I think it's rather arbitrary. At this point, I swear they're just changing it whenever they feel like making more money. Whose prices change in the middle of the day??

So you consider the attacker to be the US, not the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, or the Iraqis disregard and attempts to violate the No-Fly Zones implemented after the first Gulf War by actively attempting to shoot down aliied planes and putting up bounties for pilots

But you know, as we all do, that those were not the reasons given for our attack. In fact, wasn't the word "pre-emptive" used by the administration, because we were supposedly pre-empting another 9/11 because all the bad guys were there now?

I'm pretty sure the Iraqis do not have control over their oil. I'm pretty sure that the government we placed in power in Iraq does.

How would China own us? We're using their money to augment our resources. Hypothetically, when they say Fuck you, we perhaps won't be able to pay for a way to fight them.
