And that is what it is all about. Stacking the deck for those who put these people in power. I prefer the T Roosevelt method, "Walk softly and carry a big stick." All of our interference is going to bite us in the butt one of these days, big time.

Whomever ends up ruling in Egypt, they're not going to stop selling their 3.7 billion barrels of oil they have in reserve, with or without the ridiculous amount of foreign aid we give that country. Thank goodness we don't need that money here, eh?

Regarding Ron Paul, I'm focusing on getting more small government/fiscal conservatives into the House. Whichever warmongering R gets into the White House isn't going to veto bills that get us on a path to living within our means.

So we're making Ron Paul the Ambassador to Egypt?

I'd rather seem him head the Federal Reserve. Centrally planned price controls cause more problems than they solve:
