2012 is too far away ...
« on: June 20, 2011, 08:33:56 AM »
What do we do today?

Last week Pres. BHO was told by many that he needed to get Congressional approval for the war and the United States role in Libya.  He snubbed these demands.  The arrogant and unforgivable response he gave were not the I am within my power or the War Powers Act give me the authority answers that I expected.  Instead he stated that he had United Nations authorization to become involved and stay involved.

Since when did United Nations authority or United Nations anything trump the Constitution of the United States?

Many have taken issue with Pres. G. W. Bush and his involvement in both Afghanistan and Iraq.  They chose to forget that he had Congressional approval for both wars, and after the first approval he went back to Congress a second time before going into Iraq.

I am not debating whether we should or should not be in Iraq or Afghanistan.  I am not debating the investigations of the multi-national intelligence used to justify the involvement in Iraq.  I am asking if one President is wrong to go to war after using multi-national intelligence and with overwhelming approval from Congress, why is it ok for another President to go to war (or involve us in a war) with nothing but the approval of the United Nations?

This made the national news late last week in an attempt to make one party look like clowns, and it has disappeared since.  But, the little I am able to find in our wonderful watchdog media is that Pres. BHO has gone past a peck on the cheek all the way to heavy petting with the U.N.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

We don't have to obey the law, we're Dems.

Right on and I love that phrase...stolen
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

You guys have got it wrong. You see, we actually aren't AT war in libya. We aren't risking American lives so the
War Powers Act  doesn't apply. Thos explosions, pay them no mind, that's just the French. ::) This is the bigest piece of BS since Panama and there at least, we won.
