THIS IS A MUST-READ FOR EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN! THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT WHETHER YOU CAN LIVE WITH YOURSELF!
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll has finally found something that Americans like even less than Congress: the possibility of U.S. military intervention in Syria. Only 9 percent of respondents said that the Obama administration should intervene militarily in Syria; a RealClearPolitics poll average finds Congress has a 15 percent approval rating, making the country’s most hated political body almost twice as popular.I will note that about 40% of the population supported the King of England in 1776.
Quick history lesson:
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.Does 9% approval constitute “Consent of the governed” when we are about to kill other humans in the name of the people of the United States?
Yes, a general strike.
Silence is consent.
Without your willingness to fund this foolishness, directly and indirectly via supporting the credit quality of the United States and paying taxes this act of killing could not happen.
War is, in some cases, justified.
But 91% of the population of this country says that in this case, at this time, it is not justified.
Do you mean it or did you lie to the pollster and actually support the killing that is about to take place in your name?
Donald Hank comments pt1: This article tells what most of us have suspected all along: No one wants Obama's war!
ReplyDeleteONLY 9% said they would be ok with the US military being used in Syria!
Well, let's think about it:
Most of the people who voted for Obama assumed he would never get us into a war the way Bush did. The Nobel committee staked a prize on that questionable proposition. Now that he has reneged on his tacit agreement to be a peaceful president, his former supporters are walking away. They may have been a poor judge of character but at least they have convictions.
As for the conservatives and neocons, while many were ok with Bush dragging us into a meaningless war, on the foolish assumption that he was a 'good conservative' and must have had the good of the country at heart, they aren't about to bend down and grab their ankles for a far lefty!
Subtracting out these groups of conscientious objectors, we are left with:
the 9%.
Obama wasn't shy about sullying conservatives who opposed his domestic policies like Obamacare, even though he knew the program was not overwhelmingly popular.
But now he risks alienating even his closest allies. And recall that he has already lost the loyalty of many lefties in the press with his heavy handedness toward them.
Donald Hank comment pt2: I am not making a prediction or anything, but it looks as if he may back down from this Syrian attack.
ReplyDeleteAs for the RINOs like Graham and McCain, the going mantra is that the GOP has to accommodate the Left to win elections. That is why they ran lefty Mitt Romney in 2012. And it is of utmost importance to note that Romney had supported US military intervention in the Middle East in those conflicts that, as we now know, would lead to disastrous results, as they did in Egypt.
But here is a case where the RINOs are taking a shellacking! So folks, stop and rethink that old saw that only by giving in to the Left can the right win elections.
Any Republican at this juncture in US history who even whispers that the US should get involved in another Mideast conflict is sure to lose.
BTW, South Carolinians and Arizonans have the opportunity to throw out warmongers Graham and McCain, respectively, and this time, let's get er done!
