Condoleezza Rice: US Foreign Aid Tax Dollars Are "Well Spent"

Anyone pining for Mitt Romney to name Condoleezza Rice as his Vice Presidential nominee had better read carefully the editorial Rice penned Thursday in The Financial Times.

Rice is a Bush Administration retread. Dare I call her a crusading NeoCon? She wants a new Romney administration to make America the world leader again. 

In the Middle East Rice wants America to support democracy with foreign aid. She wants us to arm the Syrian "rebels." She wants us to reengage with Iraq. 

She wants us to develop "responsible and democratic sovereigns" in Africa and "worldwide" by investing foreign aid in countries that are "investing in their people’s health and education" ala the George W. Bush administration. 


She wants us to help "provide answers" in Latin America by investing our "assistance" to help democracies.

She wants our trade policy and our "private sector growth" to be "robust."

She wants a "humane and sustainable national immigration policy."

She counts the "crisis in US education" as the "greatest single threat to our national strength and cohesion."

Is this all starting to sound familiar? Were you people asleep during the Bush years? Wake up! Please!! 

The "American people" -- whatever that meaningless and monolithic political slang means -- do not need to be inspired to "lead again." Especially by a Bushie retread.

What America needs now is humility and realistic introspection. This means our parasitic governors in Washington must come to understand that they are not the "Deciders," either in this country or worldwide. We -- American individuals -- are properly the deciders. We know what is in our own best interests: PRIVATE PROPERTY and INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY.

This means our new federal governors must DISMANTLE THE FEDERAL LEVIATHAN, which means FIRE BUREAUCRATS, ELIMINATE THEIR JOBS, GUT THEIR RULES AND REGULATIONS, DRASTICALLY CUT TAXES, EVEN MORE DRASTICALLY CUT SPENDING, BRING OUR TROOPS HOME, MIND OUR OWN BUSINESS IN THE WORLD and LEAD BY EXAMPLE!!!!
