The newly organized Students of American Liberty at East Tennessee State University held a pro-peace and anti-war lecture Wednesday night titled “Obama’s Wars.”
“I feel it’s a shame that since President Obama has been elected, all talk and speaking out against the war has stopped,” SAL President Matthew Adam Jeffers said. “It’s a shame because he is actually perpetuating the war by bombing Pakistan and sending 17,000 of our troops into Afghanistan.
The featured speaker, introduced by Tennessee Libertarian Party Chairman Tony Walls, was antiwar.com’s editorial director Justin Raimondo.
“When the illusion of Barack Obama, the great peacemaker, is finally dispelled, we are going to wake up and find ourselves waist deep in a war that will soon threaten to dwarf the disastrous situation in Iraq in both human and material costs,” Raimondo said. “We know this from what he has said he would do and what he has already done.
“This is a protest,” he said. “We are protesting Obama’s war in Afghanistan, his reneging on his promise to get us out of Iraq, his launching new interventions around the world and we are waking up the campus community to the reality, as opposed to the media image that has been created of Obama as peacemaker.”

I thought that was a nice place?
It is, but unfortunately, ETSU is a focal point for all the crazy/weirdo/peacenik homos in the East Tenn. area. Those 5% get 95% of the attention, and the 95% who are hard working moderate to conservative folks are too busy just trying to get by to pay attention to the squeaky wheels, but of course, the media always greases those wheels.
This is why they need to target Limbaugh. With Bush out of office, the left’s political advantage is rapidly disintigrating. They need polarization. Be on the lookout for it, they will try to invent something.
Frankly, I think there could be a major implosion coming for the democrats.
They used to scare me too. But now nothing scares me like the O'Bozo in Chief
