Unholy Alliance: Neocons and "progressives" -- united at last over Libya

[bobbyw24]

by Justin Raimondo, April 08, 2011

Senators Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) have done what no Republican has done since the day Harry Truman sent US troops to Korea without congressional authorization: challenged the authority of the President to unilaterally commit the nation to war. Their resolution read as follows:

"The President does not have the power to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve an actual or imminent threat to the nation."

This “sense of the Senate” resolution was voted down, 90-10, by the Democratic-controlled body, with not one Democrat voting for it. Which seems distinctly odd, because when President Barack Hussein Obama – a candidate for the White House at the time – uttered those very same words, his ostensibly “antiwar” fans cheered uproariously. Today, there are no cheers – just jeers from the Democrats, and, of course, from the neocons. Here‘s Jennifer Rubin, the Washington Post‘s newest neocon columnist, on Rand’s heresy:

Hopefully we will have liberals protesting in mass... Alas, hope is free.

They were also united over Kosovo/Serbia. And the no fly zones over Iraq during the Clinton years. And firing missiles into Afghanistan. Basic rule is that the neo-conservatives will sign on for any military action, even when the progressives are in power.

The Democrats that support this and the neocons should just join forces in one party, and leave the other party for people who care about liberty.

One might say that the neo-conservatives have been nothing more than Democrat infiltrators in the GOP, with a mission of ensuring that neither party will oppose warfare.

Try saying it i public and you'll be surrounded by a crowd baying 'USA,USA.' Maybe someone could make a scaled down version of the Ian Curtis documentary 'The Power Of Nightmares.' The Neocons have a history and an agenda which if explained,would make even the stupidest goat molester recoil.

Not until the progs in the red jerseys take the WH again.
