What Flavor was the Kool-Aid? Grape? Cherry?

Ron Paul is just wrong on Darfur, as on so many other things.

Admit it. Say it out loud. Free yourself.

Ron Paul and Individual Obligation Ron Paul was not cold and calculating but quite the opposite.

The Constitution does not provide a legal mechanism for helping in Darfur. The federal government has no moral obligation to help in Darfur.

However, the individual has a moral obligation to help those in need. Many are called to help those in Darfur. If called we cannot get out of that by trying to get a government to do it.

How can we as individuals do something? Well, we can do things as single person, but most often we group. Businesses, churches, clubs, coops (even over the Internet) can do much. We can supply food. If sanctions get dropped, we can even supply logistics for food. We can supply training so villages can protect themselves. We can help people set up business, especially trade businesses.

Who is cold and calculating but the one who tries to get out of his moral obligation by forcing others to do it?
