Stop The Wars, I Wanna Get Off: Where Are the Anti-War Protesters?
Bigpeace.com ^ | 06/13/2011 | Adam Sparks

“The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” Then Sen. Obama 2007 talking about a possible war against Iran

Obama, the peace president, has now begun his fourth war in Yemen. No imminent threat here. His third war in Libya is not going great and there’s no imminent threat there either. In a story with little national coverage, the media has just learned that Obama has started a 4th war in Yemen. It’s a story for perhaps the 15th page, it’s ho-hum. Obama, another war? No big deal- he’s not a republican, nothing to see here. Obama is now heavily involved in the civil war in Yemen. Which side is he on with one? Who cares, it’s a war. Let’s go fight.

Voices? The muslims got their promise from Obama for their caliphate. Egypt? 100% endorsed by Obama. Libya? No voices as its for the Caliphate. Yemen? ha! same crap Obama started reshaping the mid east with his Cairo speech. All these wars and not a voice challenging them...... it is more than carefully orchestrated...

and guess what? America gets to pay for the upcoming genocide in Israel while being Obama kissed into believing that this “arab spring” is about “democracy”. Muslims can only parrot the word, democracy is antithetical to Islam....

As I have said before, there is NOTHING that liberals will not be hypocritical about. EVERYTHING about them is a lie in order to seize power and suppress freedom.

"We haven’t had a President since Roosevelt with the leadership to get Congress to formally declare war."

Kind of true. Since Rosie, we've not had a wartime president with the leadership to get Congress to formally declare war. I'm pretty sure Ike and President Reagan would've gotten declarations had we actually been at war during their administrations (Grenada wasn't exactly a war).

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Thank you RaceBannon. That was the best explanation EVER on the peace freaks’ actions and motives. Of course, you and I share the distinct pleasure of having been punched for peace. Do you mind if I save and use your essay? One never knows when a peacenut will get violent.

A conservative opposes a war because he’s afraid we may lose.

I oppose a war because first off it expands government, and it never shrinks down to its pre-war size after hostilities.

And secondly it leads to radical societal changes at home even if you win.

Oppose or support, the fact of the matter is the US wouldn't be one-fifth of the way down the left-wing road it is today domestically without her entrance into WWI, WWII, Korea (to a lesser extent) and Vietnam.

Technically, Iraq attacked Iran, thinking they’d be an easy target due to the disruption of the Revolution.

Didn’t work out that way.

Oh, jeez. I forgot that.

Iraq has been so much in the news in recent years I forgot about the Iranian Revolution and assumed everything was the other way around.

Next I'll be saying Lyndon Johnson was never elected President. Times like this I wish there was an "edit" button.

Longest war of the 20th century. Roughly 1.5M dead.

The amazing part is how Saddam started the war and then lost it, at immense cost to his country, but somehow managed to remain in power.

Of course, he’s a piker compared to Santa Ana. He became President of Mexico 11 times over 22 years, and among other feats, managed to lose both the Texas Revolution and the US/Mexican War, totaling well over half the country.

And he still managed to get back into power!

Someone once said: In Islam, democracy means when enough Muslims vote for Sharia, they will have it.

yup... democracy to them is the ole one vote for one man.... and it stops there. They have zero understanding of the infrastructure, culture, history, philosophy and meaning of the word. The years of political and religious thought that went into the “free industrialized west’s” successes.

They should sit down and look at themselves... if what they are doing doesn’t work, obviously they need to do something else.

Andrew Klavan makes some very accurate observations and positive suggestions in
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIEeiDjdUuU

He points right at Egypt actually the whole mid east... with their millions unemployed, new graduates with nothing to do....if they go right into Sharia... they will continue to be a backwards, hateful people.

Democracy goes well beyond one vote for one man!

Excellent and accurate vid... am in the process of watching it now. Have dial up service so it is painstakingly slow.
They are pretty much on the money. I believe that Obama has just consolidated the first phase of the Caliphate.

What Obama is doing is a insult to America, its heritage and its culture. The bastard should be brought in on treason and sedition as he is staging an islamic assault on Israel and America, not necessarily in that order. He is endangering every man woman and child through his alignment. He is expediting a Islamic buildup and confrontation with the west.

The illegal alien is not of our culture and needs to be evicted and imprisoned.
