Rand Paul Calls Obama Out

http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul665.html

Many people are questioning the wisdom of electing Barrack Hussein Obama to be President of the USA.  People like Sean Hannity and Mark Levin say that Obama is a Socialist.  Rand Paul says Obama is a Corporatist.  That’s worse.  It is a unholy alliance Qbetween corporate interests, the civil government and the military.  It means that for Philips petroleum and the others to be able to get the worlds oil, we muat lie, chet and steal; and we must lie to our people and to the world in order to gain illegal control of anotehr natssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

McCain In favor of war, who’d have Guessed

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110422/ap_on_re_mi_ea/mccain_libya

It is always surprising to this writer that Senator McCain, who personally suffered the cruelty and horror of war, should be a war hawk.  It seems that at every turn the US Senator is cheering in favor of war, with its guns, bombs and destruction.  It is disheartening to need to repeat so many times, but please remember that the government of Libya is the legal government recognized by the UN, most NATO counties and all international companies doing business with Libya.  I don’t know how the Senator entered the sovereign State of Libya?  It seems that a no fly zone does not apply to US Senators who are against the legal government. They can fly in without interference from NATO. Now, let’s reverse the scene.  Imagine that there was a rebellion of the Union workers party in the USA.  Imagine that a Libyan supporter of the rebellion entered the country on a private plane, landed at the rebel hideout and then held a clandestine press conference calling for the overthrow of the US government.  What would happen? I believe the US government, would arrest the Libyan for advocating the violent overthrow of the USA.  So…okay, the objection my readers make is that the USA is not a dictatorship.  But according to the outlined scenario, the rebels in the USA would say that it was a dictatorship and should be overthrown.  Now, back to today and reality, Mc Cain should have been arrested by the Libyan Government as a provocateur who advocated the overthrown of the internationally recognized government of Libya. And why wasn’t he?  Because he entered the country illegally?  Or because he was surrounded by USA secret service agents to protect him?  Or because he wasn’t there more than a few hours, in which time he came to a complete, in-depth understanding of all the facts, and decided that the army, navy, and other armed personnel of Libya were bad and needed to be killed by USA drones, bombs, artillery and cruise missiles?  I guess the military families of the Libyan government have no feelings, or rights?  Let’s just kill them because American Senator John McCain says so! It really is surprising how much Senator McCain is in favor of wanton war.  By the way, isn’t there a budget battle raging in the Senate?  Isn’t there a need for Republican Senators to be out on the tour promoting the Ryan proposals?  Isn’t there a great need for more jobs support efforts from the Senate?  Maybe a nice little war in Libya that is costing us millions a day is what Senator McCain feels will fuel a recovery in the US armaments industry?  Strange friends, government and armament makers!

Libyan War is Really Ugly Western European Aggression.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110419/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_libya_islamic_warrior

The Aggression of the Western Colonialist Imperialist powers of England and France is criminal.  I know that my readers are bored with this topic but the criminal French and English will not stop.  The constant refrain from NATO is that they are protecting civilian rebels.  Well, rebels are not simply civilians.  These are people who are not a recognized army, fighting against the central Libyan government.  Might we all at least have the integrity to admit, that we are attacking the legal army and government of Libya?  So let’s stop the murder that we deliver at the end of  50 caliber bullets, and twenty ton bombs and at least 212- that’s right! two hundred and twelve CRUISE missiles.  That is not humanitarian aid.  By the way, when was the last time anyone heard of a Libyan government aircraft attacking anybody?  The aircraft are mostly destroyed and the no fly zone is totally and completely secured.  Again, please write your congress person and stop the USA participation in the killing of innocent people, the killing of the legal soldiers of a sovereign state, (which I repeat is an act of terrorism and criminal aggression because the USA is not in a declared war with the nation of Libya.) Our military leaders  are obeying illegal orders to attack across the borders of a country that is at PEACE with the USA…let the Congress tell the USA military that we will not replace the 212 CRUISE missiles. Let us tell our navy we will not replace the bombs.  Let us tell our army we will not replace the ammo for the A-10 gunship.  That is the kind of talk our military leaders understand and maybe if they cannot get any more of our tax dollars for their pet war in Libya, then they will stop obeying the illegal orders to attack a nation that is at peace with the USA.

Is Obama’s War Legal?

The Judge, filling in for Glenn Beck tonight, highlighted the idea that the Obama war in Libya is illegal.  The basics of his argument were that the Constitution gives the President the right to go to Congress for a Declaration of War when the supposed enemy  has attacked the USA, is about to or threatens to attack the USA, or can be shown to be a direct threat to the national security and sovereignty of the USA.  In the case of Libya, none of these factors are true, yet, the USA has launched 212 missiles against the sovereign state of Libya, dropped numerous bombs, attacked its navy and killed its army personnel. All of this is a usurpation of power by the President and in the Judge’s words, the spineless response of a broken Congress.
