Ron Paul Supports Totalitarianism

Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on a resolution calling on Communist China to end its crackdown on Tibet and release thousands of Tibetans whom they had imprisoned for nonviolent political demonstrations.

The measure passed by a vote of 413 to 1.

The one dissenting vote was Congressman Ron Paul.

In the past, Congressman Paul also refused to condemn terror attacks against Israel.

One might come to the conclusion that Congressman Paul is simply against the American government supporting American outside of our strict borders.

However, this analysis fails completely when you consider that Paul voted to condemn terror attacks in Egypt and to tell the Romanian government how they should handle child welfare

What can we deduce from this bizarre voting pattern?

It appears that Ron Paul is completely fine with terrorists murdering Jews, but is opposed to terrorists murdering Egyptians.

It appears that Ron Paul is completely fine with telling Romanians how to raise their children, but is morally opposed to speaking up for the citizens of Tibet — whose country has been invaded and occupied by the brutal and totalitarian Chinese communists.

Ron Paul won’t speak a word to support freedom for the people of Tibet. This brings to mind a quote from Elie Wiesel:

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

And another from Dante Alighieri:

The hottest seats in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crises, choose to do nothing.
