What Darfur Reveals

Have you ever wondered what a liberal has in mind when they bear the banner "Save Darfur?" To be as concise as possible, this implies an intervention to stop atrocities of warlords. So what intervention do they have in mind? A protest? Diplomacy? I haven't any disposition to make light of a legitimate abomination that gives good light to why we keep the term "evil" around. What's a liberal to do? Absolutely nothing. They can't. They will not. The UN has all the power it needs to assert force with support from the US. Why don't they? Because it creates a standard of righteousness which equates to self-righteousness and hypocrisy in popular world opinion. Also, because the best solution is militias. Militias are inherently associated with rage and mobs and guns because of rhetoric of fools. And when weapons are distributed to a population, a tyrant will rise up out of the population and persecute with the 9mm he's been issued. It's a dysfunctional self-defeating screenplay. I say, give the poor people weapons. Arm them, and allow them to defend their wives and their children, their parents, their friends. If they decide to abuse the bearing of arms, let it be on them. By omitting such an empowerment as a civilization, we've exercised a judgment on them and given the tyrants who've already offended a free pass.

Ten Item List

1. Stop trying to "keep up" with or placate the Democrats. We've spent far too long apologizing for the the image they've concocted of us and basing our actions off the fallacious depictions they make of us.

2. We need to recognize that the network news, the AP, and CNN are agenda driven. The only way to demonstrate their partisan nature is to not entertain questions unless quotes are given in entirety. They also need to be held accountable as their power is protected by the constitution.

3. Democrats very conveniently tout their politics under the guise of virtue: Clean environment, healthy children, equal rights, quality education... Rubbish! We need to brake down the constituents who the Democrats serve, define what they stand for, and call each and everyone to task for selling out.

4. We need to stop using "Liberal" as a euphemism for Democrat. Joe Lieberman's quality of character should make the contrast that much more stark that Democrat representation is rotten to the  core rather than giving them a pass.

5. Global warming is the latest manifestation of pop-science. In previous generations liberals were plagued by disposable diapers buried 100 yards underground. What if we took a proactive approach and measured the results? I propose private level nuclear powered ionic atmosphere cleaners placed in the country's dirtiest cities. We pull carcinogens, carbon, and irritants out of the air and do so without any of the self-righteousness.

6. Democrats have been using industry as one of their scape goats for how long? The industrial revolution is one of the crowning, epitomizing periods of the spirit of America. With the Democrats throwing out accusations at corporations and business we still have legitimate companies consistently donating to the Democrat party. What happens if we coordinate a cessation of said funding? What percent of the DNC war chest comes from otherwise good conservative companies?

7. Education has become convoluted and politicized. The best recourse is to gurd up charter schools. On public and private levels we need to fortify charter schools in states where they are already permitted, utilize conservative publishers for history text books, and have prayer if for no other reason than just to say to the liberals, "you suck."

8. We don't have to have a congress composed of Newt Gengrichs, but let's get away from politicians and start recruiting retired executives, authors, publishers, prior military service, and heck, people who have a lot of contacts in private industry. Let them cry favoritism. If we focus on the task at hand the results will be a lot louder.

9. I think we should break down the primary amendments of the constitution and outline  plans around them. Freedom of the press: How has it been compromised- how do we redeem it? Right to bear arms? Do we begin a PR campaign?

10. Last in a list of ten: (As Matt Lewis alluded) Counter-cyber terrorism. We killed the Taliban primarily be relinquishing their funds. We out spent the USSR in the cold war. Now we have any number of foreign entities constantly trying to steal identities, crash systems, and swindle funds. I say we work towards tactical software-based strikes against identified cyber-terrorists.
