well there is word for going to another country to assimilate. actually two come to mind, war and occupation. neither of these turn out well.

when you talk about societies and history, there are no easy answers ever. i am not trying to talk down here just converse. that’s all

i have a long night with a report to get out and have to get to  that.

best wishes

The objection to that other than a million other objections is that we do not have the financial capacity to absorb the Haitian country. But I contend that is not true. That frontier building has always been done in times of need and the end result has always been prosperity in both sides of the border. That taking up Haiti as a territory would change the future of Hatians for good but also reward the 45 thousand missionaries that are there now working.

BTW, I also am an advocate for an American immigration to Afghanistan in exchange for benefits from land grants there and other benefits similar to what I understand were the terms for people who settled the westward expansion of our country.

In other words, my idea of helping other countries is to go to those places and settle them with the intention of assimilating them.

To me, if Haiti is technically adrift with a non-existent government, then instead of trying to rebuild their government we should be trying to institute an American form of government.


I believe 99.9 percent of people would disagree with me.

Then again I am not very knowlegeable of American history.

And for your info the 82nd Airborn units deployed to help in Haiti just got back from down range.

we all have different views but that doesn’t mean we are unamerican.

people need to keep a good heart but think with an clear and analytical mind during times like these. we are there for the short term and not the long term.

Haiti to me is our frontier of today. 45 thousand Americans were in Haiti when the earthquake struck. The vast majority are staying there to work with Haitian to recover.

Our economy would boom if we invest in Haiti in a way that makes Haiti a territory of the U.S. If Haiti becomes a territory it would not be a cash drain to the U.S. but the reverse will be true.

The 9 million people of Haiti deserve to be lifted from abject missery. I agree that if they choose to be sovereign and misserable that is their choice. But now is the time to end their missery for good. And it is not the job of the UN to do that but the job of the Sec. of State Hillary Clinton.

As a territory we would be able to fly to Haiti without restriction, buy property, set a banking and financial system but most importantly set up our systems of higher education. We will be able to have Christian colleges and universities set up schools of architecture, engineering, medicine, liberal arts, social studies, etc. Then private foundations and institutions would be able to provide grants and scholarships to Americans to go study in Haiti and when they graduate their courses would be validated in the U.S.

You guys only see the self-interest of a system that we have now that you yourselves are indicting as not working. I am not in that set of mind.

I am angry with God and I blame God for this situation in Haiti. Because Christian colleges and universities are so myopic that they have ignored Haiti as our American fronties – our Christian American frontier. Our country was settled and made prospered by Christian settelers and Haiti is where American Christians will want to settle now.

As a territory, American Christians would have the opportunity to work unimpeded and under our Constitutional ways. Haiti will lifts us all up.

The US declared their war on poverty over 4 decades ago and hundreds of billions of dollars later they have not gotten anywhere.  Making 9 million people in Haiti dependent on US aid for generations won’t succede there either. 

As it is, Obama has already hung a huge debt on us that we can’t pay.    If people in the US do not wake up and take care of the problems here with the emergence of a radical Obama administration and radical government then we will end up like Haiti, Zimbabwe, etc. and there is no country capable of coming in and extricating us from the mess created by the radicals.       

This doesn’t sound like a situation where the people are comming together to help each other.

I hear no plans from their government of redevelopement.  No organized recovery effort.  Their government is just going to sit back and let everyone take care of their people.

We will be stuck in a situation where we keep feeding them cause their is no infastructure.  That isn’t a solution.

Bill is most likely sad because he knows this is the case.  That at some point the Aid relief will have to stop and they will be left in a situation of chaos.
