The editor of Breitbart Unmasked, a site that I enjoy immensely and find informative, recently told me that supporting Rand Paul disqualifies a person from being labeled a progressive. My rebuttal was that he might be right. However, I also mentioned that Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia agreed with my latest Congress Blog piece. In the article, I explain why Rand Paul is correct in questioning the legality of President Obama's troop deployments. Sadly, people at UC Berkeley are more interested in protesting Bill Maher than condemning a conflict George McGovern stated weakens our country in the same manner as Vietnam. Hundreds of airstrikes, over 3,000 soldiers deployed, and a request for $5.6 billion is a war, folks.
Had President Mitt Romney just doubled our military presence in the Middle East and launched airstrikes that even the Kurds and the Free Syrian Army have criticized, the reaction would have been entirely different from liberals throughout the country. We once again have over 3,000 American boots on the ground in Iraq (without a peep from the anti-war left), only months after a VA crisis that caused veterans to die as they waited for health care, and about the same time as the publication of this book by an American general. To make matters worse, Congress is too cowardly to even debate the issue, despite calls for a discussion by Rand Paul. In the meantime, our values as a nation have succumb to fear mongering and paranoia.
Since 9/11, we've had to endure ideologues like Sean Hannity, a man who vehemently defends enhanced interrogation, yet is too chicken (insert the next word) to get waterboarded himself....

There is one element that is reflective of how the leading lights on the left have organized no great protests against either any military action by Obama or his imperial sense of “executive authority” - the “antiwar” movement, in every outing its had since the sixties was NEVER truly an antiwar movement, but merely a political movement in true leftist fashion, against “anti-U.S.-imperialism” and anti ANY kind of Conservative U.S. President. Obama gets a pass on anything because he is theirs.

Interesting. Rand Paul makes a progressive applies his principles to his party affiliation's actions and now isn't a member of that party.
Also interesting how he notes that his party is hypocritical in how they apply their principles to the opposition and ignore their own party's similar violations of the same principles.
^^This^^ applying one's principles to test the actions of those you pledge your party loyalty to is to be encouraged everywhere!
To some, that's like zombies waking up.

If it’s true, the vote is going to be thrown away on a man who can’t win and so without voting for an actual Liberal candidate, THIS Liberal can still vote AGAINST any Republican nominee.
Don`t know for sure what the issue is except the defense of sodomite marriage, but maybe I could have read farther than what I did.
LOL!
