John ‘really-it’s-flaccid’ Boehner is back at his old overcompensation games, this time by spearheading a group of ‘bipartisan’ Congressmen in a lawsuit against President Obama for ‘illegal’ action in Libya.
What I really love about this cock-waving is that it really is an issue of how the Republicans have no problem filing false suit against a President, yet the Democrats are usually too weak and complacent to do the same. Why wasn’t a suit filed against George W. Bush for HIS illegal actions? How is it that a people incite a revolution (as 13 British Colonies did 236 years ago) and we support them it is ‘illegal’ yet when we INVADE a sovereign nation because cowboy George wants to finish what Daddy didn’t (for good reasons mind you, George Sr. KNEW that the Middle East would collapse with the power vacuum created) no one cried boo?
The problem is that people did cry boo. However when we did, we were accused of being ‘un-American’ or ‘unpatriotic’ or any other number of things to marginalize the opinions which were opposed to Bush’s ILLEGAL war. We even started calling French Fries, Freedom Fries because the French spoke against the war!
The people of Yemen, Tunisia, Libya, and many other countries have risen up and reacted to years of oppressive treatment. However, the GOP doesn’t want these countries to have their freedom, because it might alter the balance of world power and make people who AREN’T WHITE a voice on the world stage!
How do these people deserve to fight for their freedom any less than the people of South Korea or Vietnam or Cuba? They deserve it just as much as they do, and American colonists did in 1776, as Frenchmen did in 1789, etc.
Funny how the oppressed so quickly became the oppressors! Fuck you John Hardon! Fuck you and your agenda! You claim ‘bipartisanship’? Then work with Obama to get us healthcare, tax the rich, and create a stable national infrastructure, and if you don’t like Obama’s foreign policy, maybe you need to head into Cleveland, Cincinnati, or Columbus and speak to your constituents who are Muslim immigrants and ask them why they left the lands of their birth. Maybe a bit of a ‘foreign’ point of view will do you good you stupid corn fed redneck!
