Obama administration hints it could act alone on Syria

Posted on by

“The United States hinted Thursday it could act alone to punish Syria for a chemical weapons attack. The Obama administration also denied that public skepticism dating to an Iraq war intelligence debacle was complicating its effort to justify possible military action against Syria. Obama, who came to power criticizing his predecessor George W. Bush’s go-it-alone approach on foreign policy, was confronted Thursday with a choice over whether to wait for allies or launch unilateral US action.  Obama aides stress they envisage only ‘limited’ punitive action in Syria and dismiss comparisons with the US invasion of Iraq, which the president built his political career on opposing.”

“When Will They Learn?”

Posted on by

“In a conservative administration, a government will institute greater social controls. In the following liberal administration, the government will institute greater economic controls. And the police state will be increased under both administrations. The net effect is overall increased dominance by government. Under the two-party system, this dominance is not only tolerated by the populace, but encouraged. The day never comes when a people convince their government to ‘lighten up.’ Relief only comes when an overly-powerful governmental system collapses under its own weight.”

Why Conservatives Accept High Taxes, the Federal Reserve System, and Fiat Money

Posted on by

portallogo3

“The alliance between the modern welfare state and the modern warfare state is based on the legitimacy of an ever-growing federal government:  an ever-growing federal deficit, ever-increasing tax rates, and the permanence of the Federal Reserve. The liberals do not want to change the prevailing political system, and neither do the conservatives. The liberals want their welfare checks to go out, and so to the conservatives. The liberals want to push foreign nations around, and so to the conservatives. This is why taxes will not go down, the Federal Reserve will not be abolished, and the gold coin standard will not be re-established until such time as the Great Default bankrupts the federal government.”

‘King Would’ve Marched on Obama’

‘King Would’ve Marched on Obama’

“Executive Director of the Black Agenda Report, Glen Ford, sits down with us to revisit Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic March on Washington August 28, 1963, and how the Obama administration addresses its 50th anniversary.  Marching in the streets for the right to vote, protestors were greeted by police with tear gas and dogs. That demonstration, led by Doctor Martin Luther King, happened fifty years ago this week. Its most famous moment came with the delivery of MLK’s ‘I Have a Dream Speech.'”

Chris Hedges: The Treason of the Intellectuals

Posted on by

“If they had known then what they know now, they assured us, they would have acted differently. This, of course, is false. The war boosters, especially the ‘liberal hawks’—who included Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Al Franken and John Kerry, along with academics, writers and journalists such as Bill Keller, Michael Ignatieff, Nicholas Kristof, David Remnick, Fareed Zakaria, Michael Walzer, Paul Berman, Thomas Friedman, George Packer, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Kanan Makiyaand the late Christopher Hitchens—did what they always have done: engage in acts of self-preservation. To oppose the war would have been a career killer. And they knew it.”

Michael Scheuer: Observing King Obama’s Syrian madness, II

Posted on by

“General Keane responded that polls showing the strong and historically consistent non-interventionist beliefs of the American people should play no role in a U.S. president’s decision on an issue of national security. In essence, General Keane told Mr. Baier and all other Americans to be quiet, go home, eat a cookie, watch TV, and let the vaunted U.S. military and our interventionist, bipartisan governing elite do as they wish regarding war with Syria. These arrogant and self-proclaimed aristocrats always know what is best for a taxed-to-death riff-raff that is only needed every four years to elect someone running on a ‘no war’ platform that will be utterly and cynically discarded once the presidency is won.”

Why Libertarianism Will Crush Conservatism

Posted on by

“They have over the last century lost their battles against Wilsonian progressivism, the New Deal, the Great Society, racial integration, abortion, drug abuse, and secularization.  The fact that they have lost so reliably, despite their persistent numerical superiority, is a testament to the holes in their philosophy. Along the way, they’ve adopted virtually every bureaucratic idea pioneered by progressives, increasing government spending while wasting energy and billions of dollars fighting losing cultural battles. The diminishing appeal of conservatism for younger, more cosmopolitan millennials as well as exploding immigrant populations translates to serious demographic problems for Republicans.”

Young, Old, Democrat and Republican Agree: The Federal Government Sucks

Posted on by

“The Gallup organization polled Americans across the partisan divide, and ranging in age from pimply and arrogant to wrinkly and bitter, about their opinions of various sectors of American society. When it comes to the federal government, it’s probably no surprise that starry-eyed youth and White House-haunting Democrats had the most affectionate sentiments. What is surprising is that the sort of affection they show is less akin to a passionate embrace and more like, ‘it’s not you, really, it’s me. We’re just not working out.’ That’s right, even among the young and the Democratic, warm feelings for the federal government are hard to find.”

Glenn Greenwald: Three key lessons from the Obama administration’s drone lies

Posted on by

“It’s entirely unsurprising that the Obama administration got caught making plainly false statements about its killing program. But for the same reason, it’s very significant that it has been caught. In light of this evidence, any journalists that continue to rely on US government statements about its killing program are revealing themselves to be eager propagandists, willing to be lied to and help amplify those lies (the same was true of journalists who continued to rely on government statements about ‘militants’ being killed even after they knew how Obama officials had broadened that term to the point of meaninglessness). How many times do we have to learn these same lessons?”
