#1:
Because Hồ Chí Minh and the North Vietnamese and Cambodian Communists were mass murdering genocidal Marxist-Leninists who were actively at war with America.

And because Qadaffi and his regime were murderous non-communists who had been co-opted by the Bush Administration into being a de-facto ally of America against mass murdering genocidal jihadists who were actively at war with America.

.

#2
Because the President ordering the bombings in Cambodia was a Republican.

Because the President ordering the bombings in Lybia is a Democrat/Socialist.

.

Are the distinctions clear now?

“…or here is an idea, we could just make peace.”

HOLY CRAP! This is why Senators like Kerry are paid the big bucks.

Why didn’t WE think of that????

I had no idea we could just wave a magic wand and suddenly there would be peace.

(facepalm)

Posting while drunk is fun, but makes for bad comments, williamg. Sleep it off.

Well – Posting While Stupid is much, much worse.

Contact Ron White and see if you can “fix that”

I don’t drink

Time and again this administration…and elitist Progressive Liberals like Kerry…has shown their total disregard for the Constitution &/OR the LAW when it interferes with their agenda. Obama VIOLATED the Constitution / the War Powers Act through a prolonged military action (WAR) in Libya without Congressional Approval…as long as a Liberal/Democrat is doing it no one cares / it doesn’t matter.

Libya – Violation of Constitution/War Powers Act
Defense of Marriage Act – Violation of his oath of office / reponsibility to uphold the LAW even if he does not agree with it…

Individual Mandate – BOTH purchase of health care or penalty of tax / religious violation mandating medical facilities run by religious orgs must hand out free ABORTION-INDUCING drugs

Medicare Coercion – Obamacare compels/compelled states to drastically increase their Medicaid expenditures and reorganize their Health Care bureaucracies, on penalty of losing all (not just additional) Medicaid funds.

Independent Payment Advisory Board – ‘Death Panel’ – 15 presidential appointees beginning in 2014 who are tasked with reducing medical care spending – their decisions become law (by-passing Congress) & can only be overridden by a 2/3rds Congressional vote.

Chrysler Bailout – violates not just bankruptcy law but also the Constitution’s Takings and Due Process Clauses.

Dodd-Frank Bill/Law – the Treasury Department now has broad and essentially unchecked power to seize banks and other financial entities that it determines are unsound but “too big to fail.” Due process and separation of powers issues abound.

The deep-water drilling ban – A federal judge struck down that moratorium as arbitrary and capricious, but the government issued a new order to replace the one that was struck down. That order was subsequently withdrawn, but the judge was so shocked by the administration’s conduct that he found the government in civil contempt of court.

Taxing political contributions – The IRS has since backed down, but the suspicion remains that it was trying to chill the political speech of those opposed to President Obama’s policies, in violation of the First Amendment.

Graphic tobacco warnings – Mandate by the Obama administration – federal judge blocked the new regulation, which was due to go into effect in January, but the administration is appealing.

Health Care Waivers –
the power to suspend a legal requirement can and will be used to arbitrarily favor the politically connected. Moreover, most of these waivers were never authorized by Congress in the first place!

Annual Budget – REQUIRED BY LAW – yet Obama (& Harry Reid), in violation of the Law & the country being nearly $16 trillion in debt – is demanding another debt ceiling increase with ZERO spending cuts & NO budget being passed AGAIN this year (for 4th year in a row…).

Gun Bans – recent example of Progressive mantra – ‘don’t let a disaster go to waste’ – Feinstein & Liberals, who are protected by the most well-armed security our tax dollars can afford, are attempting to strip us of our Constitutional Rights…

…and there are so many more….this nation has been reduced to ‘TYRANNY’ , the Constitution, US Law, & oaths of office being discarded at will by those we have elected….those who choose to be our ‘masters’ rather than ‘servants of the people’

Great summary. Amazing how much stuff you can tend to forget since there’s so much of this garbage. I’ve said this to my records and may very well be submitting it as a letter to the editor.

Can anyone believe that John McCain ran as a *maverick* ???

His bromance with every single male Senator in and across and over every aisle makes me wanna puke.

He’d just as soon wipe J. Kerry’s backside rather than ask him a consequential question.

John McCain makes the general Washington establishment look like a band of mavericks.

LetsBfrank on January 25, 2013 at 11:07 AM

We ran the two worst candidates possible the last two elections. And people wonder why we lost.

Enough with the RINO establishment.

I would go all in, donations, door to door, etc for Ran Paul or someone else with a backbone such as a Scott Walker.

fadetogray on January 25, 2013 at 10:51 AM

I don’t hate, as much as there are things, I would just as soon like to see disappear. ; )

LetsBfrank on January 25, 2013 at 11:07 AM

Yep, their “club” mentality is more than annoying. Most of them need to remember who they “work” for and I use the term work very very loosely.

No and maybe. Hate is a destructive emotion. Should be resisted.

Bmore on January 25, 2013 at 10:44 AM

Anger is a destructive emotion. Hate is a state of mind, and it can be good or it can be destructive, depending on whether or not it is rationally based.

It is true one should not dwell on that which one hates.

For instance, I hate communism. I cannot imagine anyone who genuinely loves liberty not hating communism, whether or not they realize they hate it. However, I don’t think about it much, and I don’t let it get me angry any more.

Very impressed with Rand Paul here.

bluegill on January 25, 2013 at 10:26 AM

Yes. It was refreshing to hear a United States Senator speaking with reason and common sense. It was like a glass of cold water on a hot day.

Muslims teach their children that Christians and Jews are decendents of pigs and apes. See the Hadith.

jawkneemusic on January 24, 2013 at 9:40 PM

So, how does it work if you’re a Christian and you convert to Islam? Do you magically get a brand new family tree..?

Bombing Libya isn’t reminiscent of Ghengis Khan. D’uh.

Flange on January 24, 2013 at 8:30 PM

That’s GIN-Jis Khan. D’uh.

Or as William Shatner would say: KHAAAAAAAAAN!

What did Rand have to say after Tucson, by the way? I can’t remember. I can’t remember anything the guy did to “take a stand against Obamanation” throughout 2011. It’s weird that only now he’s grabbing that spotlight.
ddrintn on January 24, 2013 at 9:56 PM

Even if what you speculate is true, he’s still one of the only ones in the GOP making a stand now.

Wouldn’t you take Paul over Krispy KReme Christie, Jeb Bush, and Paul (I voted for the fiscal cliff deal) Ryan?
