http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/09/house.olympics/You gotta love Congressman Ron Paul, even if he laughingly insists on calling himself a Republican. Yesterday, in an act of sheer ballsy hypocrisy, the House of Representatives took a stunningly courageous stand against the Chinese occupation of Tibet by passing a mealy-mouthed nonbinding resolution. The vote was 413-1.
Yes, exactly one heroic congressman realized that a country that illegally occupies two others, whose President has authorized torture and illegal domestic spying and whose military has directly or indirectly caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and the displacement of millions more, has NO MORAL AUTHORITY to condemn any other country for anything.
