The Sunday Afternoon Mental Health Break: Jimi Hendrix

This afternoon’s mental health break is going be just a wee bit different.

As some of you might have heard; The Young Americans for Freedom sold Representative Ron Paul up the river. Over a bastardy thing, called War.

As I have repeatedly stated on this blog, that I am not against war it itself, as I do believe in America protecting itself from outside invaders and those who would wish do us harm. However, what I am against — is unjustified war or as it is commonly known as, interventionist foreign policy. This policy is the hallmark of the Neo-Conservative line of thought. It seems that the Neo-Conservatives have taken over the Ronald Reagan inspired The Young Americans for Freedom.

So, today; I dedicate the follow videos to Ron Paul and the campaign for liberty group.

I leave you all with this quote; this is something to think about, very strongly.

A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war: “This way of settling differences is not just.” This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation’s homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death. — Martin Luther King Jr. — From “Beyond Vietnam,” April 4, 1967, Riverside Church, New York City

The truth is, that 90% of those who advocate war — will not fight in it, at all.  Because, the truth is, until about 1964 and afterwards —- Conservatives were, in fact, very anti-war.

Enjoy the videos and your Sunday.
