Congressman Ron Paul of Texas provided the American people a snippet of true history at the Fox-sponsored debate last night. In the plain manner of the late Barry Goldwater, Paul tells it like it is.
Of course we breed terrorists in the Middle East when we invade and occupy their lands. What else would you expect? And why are we building 14 permanent military bases in Iraq, if we don't intend to stay from here to eternity?
Those who have acquired the habit of war despise Ron Paul and resort to name-calling. They tried "stupid," but quit when they heard he was an accomplished medical doctor and probably has some brains. Paul is so clean, fresh and loyal to American principles that his adversaries do the only thing they can, they try to ignore him.
Not only is Paul right, he was right before the 9/11 atrocity. So was Pat Buchanan, who was actually a prophet during his run for the White House in 2000. Goldwater, Buchanan, Paul - birds of a feather. Please check out the message from Buchanan in the summer of 2000.
"How can all of our meddling fail to spark some terrible retribution? Have we not suffered enough - Pan Am 103, World Trade Center (1993), the embassy bombings in Nairobi and Dares Salaam - not to know that intervention is the incubator of terrorism? Or will it take some cataclysmic atrocity on U.S. Soil to awaken our global gamesmen to the going price of empire.
America today faces a choice of destinies. We can choose to be a peacemaker of the world, or its policeman who goes around night-sticking troublemakers until we, too, find ourselves in some bloody brawl we cannot handle." - Pat Buchanan
We didn't listen to Pat. We have another chance with Congressman Paul.

* What a sight over at the Justice Department. Attorney-General Alberto Gonzales found a scapegoat in one of his closest associates. Paul McNulty resigned - or was he fired? I guess the dude is also responsible for Gonzales's poor memory.
* When Newt Gingrich announced that there is a great possibility he will run for president, my heart skipped a beat or two, I fainted and my vital organs flashed on amber alert. Newt, you're no Ron.
* Now President Bush has appointed a "War Czar" to oversee our various wars. This is a new position. C o n f u s i n g ! Good results are hoped for, however, the scene is made even murkier by creating another office. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have to wonder. The new czar is Lt. General Douglas Lute. By the way, General Lute has three stars and might have authority over those who outrank him.
The Dixie Thinker is serious fun, not for the smug & snug.
Meetings & Events
* The public is invited to a meeting this evening sponsored by St. George Future at the Dixie Convention Center to review the reasons for our huge influx of population as determined by a Dixie College study. People decide to move here because of: the roundabouts, the climate, health care facilities, the night life, Bluff Street, the hiking trails, and the anti-loitering campaign.

Expect to watch over me for about four hours each time. Stay by the phone in case I call. Lunch is in the fridge.
