Make history or Repeat it?

I have a question; could someone out there tell me what is going on in Libya. Because I don’t know, is it not news, are people not engaged in conflict over there, why is it not the lead story on the news every night???? The hypocrisy of the liberal media is without boundaries, during the last administration reporters were salivating over every opportunity to describe how bad the war was going, how no WMD was found, how all these innocent civilians were killed by our bombs, how we didn’t have an exit strategy, I could go on and on and on, but I think you get it.
Now we can debate the logic of going into Iraqi and Afghanistan and I think that’s fair, personally I supported the decision, but you have a right to your own opinion.
Here is what you can’t debate; whether or not it was legal, when then President Bush followed the Constitution and pled his case to Congress, and Congress gave their blessing, and yes that includes Pelosi, Reed and the rest of that hypocritical crowd, so he is not a war criminal, that argument holds no water, again you can debate the right and wrong of it but not the legality. Now let’s fast forward to now, Mr. Obama to this date has still not appeared before Congress to my knowledge, so is this war legal, I say no, at least not according to the U.S. Constitution. But why would they let a little thing like the laws of our nation stand in their way, I mean they never have before.
Yes, yes I know we are not at war, we are supporting the UN and NATO defending a no fly zone, which would explain why we are bombing infantry and armored columns on the ground, you can kid yourself if you want to, but Mr. Obama has taken us to war and that’s a fact.
And where is the media on this, silent, could that be because when the man they have been protecting all this time is the one guilty of illegally taking us to war, could you imagine what would happen if Bush was still President, he would be crucified.
This is just more evidence of how the media is not trying to report the news but they are trying to fundamentally change our country as we know it. Yes boy’s and girl’s they have taken sides, it is no longer about giving the story to the American people, who have a right to know, it is about feeding an agenda and giving the poor uneducated, average citizen what he needs to have so he comes, only to the right conclusion, not to be confused with giving the facts so a well informed public can decided for itself.
If you think about it, it’s almost like we are not smart enough to hear the truth and come to a decision on our own, well not kind of it is exactly like that, and if you are not insulted you should be.
How many people have died in Libya since the bombing campaign started? How many noncombatants got caught up in, and killed by the fighting? Had this been Bush’s Iraq we would have the answers to that how come we don’t have them now.
In 1939 the fascist party in Germany; after years of information propaganda, emerged as the Nazi Party, they convinced the world that they just wanted to return Germany to the once great nation it was and had a right to extend its borders back to where they were when it was the Prussian Nation, so all of Europe and the world stood by as they pushed into Poland, and the Netherlands. After all it was a European problem. By the time the world figured it out, it was almost too late. Countries were in- slaved and some ten million people were marched to their death.
A very wise man by the name of George Santayana once said; those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it. Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them. ...you see here is the secret that no one wants to tell you, there is only one truth, there is no grey area, no maybe his truth is not your truth, I actually heard that one used in a debate, “maybe your truth is not his truth so the conclusion is not the same” can you believe it. Look the truth is this, it is what it is and it stands on its own, that’s it.
I don’t want to sound like a dooms day or the end is near kind of guy; but the truth is we a closer than most of us know, we have to start making the hard choices and get this nation of ours back on course, do you really think that a year a ago countries like Egypt, Syria, Yemen, and others would have predicted what is going on there now…. If I had to guess I would say no. what makes it so hard to believe that it could not happen here?
Bottom line; I will not march quietly into the chamber, I will not cower in the dark and pretend I do not see what is going on all around me, and I will not stand by and allow the constitution to be trampled on by power hungry self serving politicians, I will make noise, I will be heard, I will tell the truth to all that will listen, I will not be fooled by lies and half truths. Because I am an American and we are the greatest nation in the history of the world. We should act like it……
