#GOP The Truth Hurts: Its Time To Admit Faults And Move On!
Today we saw Republican Senator and US Candidate Rand Paul continue to take a stand for the
truth. Today we saw Rand Paul tell the country that the War Hawks in the Republican Party
HELPED create ISIS to what it is today! Today we saw the continued repercussions on President Ronald Reagan's Commandment of not saying anything bad about other fellow republicans. Make no mistake, Senator Paul is a republican running as a republican for the republican nomination. He has never minced words, told you something just because it sounds good to blow smoke up your rear. He has never been one to toe the political party line just so that he doesn't rock the boat.
""Graham would say ISIS exists because of people like Rand Paul who said, 'Let's not go into Syria.' What do you say to Lindsey?" said Scarborough.
"I would say it's exactly the opposite. ISIS exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave arms indiscriminately, and most of those arms were snatched up by ISIS," said Paul. "These hawks also wanted to bomb Assad, which would have made ISIS's job even easier. They created these people.""
This came from a WeeklyStandard post on their website
http://m.weeklystandard.com/blogs/rand-says-republicans-created-isis_956730.html
Of course if you read the Headline alone and formed an opinion, one would be upset with what Senator Paul had to say. Of course this headline was crafted in a manner which to generate outrage toward Senator Paul in the wake of his courageous attempts to block any renewal of the Patriot Act which is set to expire on June 1. Once you actually read and view the video included with the article post, you will actually see that Rand Paul did not say that Republicans created ISIS. He said that the WAR HAWKS in the Republican party HELPED!! Not only did he segment those in the party that he believed contributed, but also said that they were just a part of it. Once taken into context that the discussion revolved around the Republican party and the words WAR HAWKS and HELPED, you see that not only is the headline misleading, but that the outrage displayed on Twitter this morning shows just how ingrained War is to many in the GOP Voting base. It showed that we still have not learned our lesson about why its important for Congress to Declare War as Article I Section 8 dictates. We still have not learned our lesson about global militarism even after witnessing the fall of the USSR in the early 90s as a result of them fighting in Afghanistan. It shows that we are still falling in the trap of Big Government Cronyism.
Whether you believe that going into Iran in 2003 was warranted or not is irrelevant. What is relevant today is that ISIS is stronger today than ever before. Emboldened by weapons that the War Hawks gave to the Syrian Rebels which they either submitted to ISIS in cowardice or became turncoats to the cause. They are emboldened by a weak US President who is unwilling to Declare War on them,(Senator Rand Paul is the only US Senator to actually propose a Declaration of War against ISIS)
Now we see the likes of Governor Jindal of Louisiana taking his Neo-Con stabs at Senator Paul because he wants to impress upon a base that still believes in the narrative that we won Iraq and that Obama gave it back. Even going as far as to lay claim to the failed 2013 rhetoric that Senator Paul is to the Left of Obama on Foreign Policy.
Republicans need to stop worshiping War. They need to recognize that the "War on Terror" has been a wholesale dismal failure resulting in the infringement of Constitutional Liberties, in the deaths of THOUSANDS of US Soldiers and innocents overseas, and added to our already crippling debt. Republicans need to be adults here in the political arena since Democrats for the most part are not interested and admit that Rand Paul is absolutely right. That continuing the same path promoted by the War Hawks of the Republican AND Democrat Parties is a path which will continue to further embolden and empower ISIS. GET OVER YOUR FEELINGS!
Oh and one more thing. Just how many of you bellyaching about what Rand Paul said today were complaining when virtually the entire Party Abandoned Rand Paul during his 10.5 hour filibuster of the Patriot Act renewal? Just how many of you took to social media and condemned the likes of Ted Cruz, of Mike Lee, of Rep. Peter King, of Lindsay Graham, of John McCain, when they took their turns skewering your Constitutional Rights all in the name of "National Security". When they told you that you aren't important enough to be told about so called threats to justify the furthered surveillance state.

Common Sense for the 21st Century
When in the struggle of current events bring us to a point
in our country’s history where blatant displays of tyranny are being pushed on
to us from all facets of life as compassion.
Does it not make COMMON SENSE to reject these forms of compassion? Does it not oddly strike anyone that these
forms of compassion do not allow you to say no, and in fact are penalized with
more financial and legal suffrage if you do not comply? When in human existence did a people ever
feel free and just when their governance allows for the intentional and cold
blooded murder of the unborn? Furthermore, when did such activity become in any
way part of individual liberty and freedom?
Common Sense for any individual should be to be of the position that you
would want maximum freedom, maximum privacy, maximum individual choices that
are not infringed upon by any government foreign or domestic. It is a natural right and power of the
individual to always control their own government.
For 100 years now, our Central
Federal Government has levied taxes on that which we rightfully earn. Not coincidentally we also see the 100 year
existence of the Federal Reserve Bank which has unconstitutionally assumed the
role of the US Treasury Department. They
print our debt notes, control economic climates through quantitative easing
(QE), and continuously buy up US Debt.
Not coincidentally this nation has been at a near constant state of
foreign conflict with those who have not brought harm to the people of this
nation, attacked us on our homeland, or threatened our sovereignty. This is for the purpose of not maintain
“National Security” but furthering the advance of the Federal Reserve Bank and
its fractional banking practices, and growing the “Military Industrial
Complex” that President Eisenhower tried
to warn us about. It has always been and
always will be to the benefit of the Federal Reserve Bank and the Military
Industrial Complex to keep Americans in a constant state of fear about the next
economic collapse or the next wave of “terrorists”. For 100 years now our fine men and women in
uniform have been the ones to make the sacrifice being told it was for the
protection of our way of life and freedom, but it was for resources which we do
not need or can obtain right here at home.
Common Sense is not at all that
common in our government, in our classrooms, in our media, in our society
today. The only Common Sense answer for
this is because government now controls all facets of our lives. We are constantly bombarded with government
everywhere we look. The majority of us
have never even read our founding document(s) to include the Declaration of
Independence and our U.S. Constitution.
Common Sense says that if you want to buy a product, you should first
decide if you have the financial means without burdening others to buy said
product. You should also buy said
product under a volunteer choice. Common
Sense should mean that each of us should be aware of the actions of our
government. However, this is impossible
when we allow ourselves to be ignorant to even the functions of government as
defined by the people that created it.
It is impossible when we allow our media to become completely corrupt
and bias toward favoring government. We
have allowed a law to be passed by one party in 2009 that forces you to
participate in a health insurance exchange or be penalized or even jailed. Furthermore, the same agency of the federal
government that coerces you out of your hard earned wealth will be the same
agency that ensures your adherence to this law.
Mind you this is the same agency that has an admitted history of
punishing its political opponents.
Common Sense says that only you should decide how you spend your money
and on what.
Common Sense should have told us as
Americans that nothing good comes of electing those with great wealth to
political offices as was done by the people in the days before the infancy of
the United States of America. Just as
the gentries of early colonists assumed control of the different assemblies
that wanted to perpetuate their control down their bloodline, the elites of
today amassing great wealth are elected to office and then followed suit by
their offspring. The common man of the
1700s were ruled and held down by the wealthy.
Today the same continues as a common hard working American could never
take the time; much less amass the wealth necessary to facilitate a run for
political office. We continuously suffer
from poor policies coming from our elected government because we commonly elect
those with little to no real world experience due to always being wealthy. We commonly elect those who can speak
eloquently over those who could lead and adapt to the needs of the people. Those with wealth and very little else going
for them are not superior to anyone else and we need to stop electing these
people to congress, to being our President, to being our Governors.
Common Sense needs to become common
once again. Common Sense is an enemy of
the state which holds our very individuality, our freedom, our civil liberties
hostage. Common Sense requires a never
ending thirst for knowledge for knowledge is power. Common Sense requires courage to stand alone
in your convictions while striving to avoid being alone in your stance. Common Sense requires you to be independent,
self-sufficient, and respectful of the individuality of others. There is no room in Common Sense for racism,
bigotry, and the false claims of these assertions. There is no room for coercive force of
government and perpetual elite rule in Common Sense. DAMN IT we are Americans, we defined what
individual freedom and liberty looked like to the world that then still was
held oppressed by few Kings and Queens.
“YES WE CAN” achieve victory over those holding us in bondage and we can
break from our own self-induced Stockholm Syndrome.

Why Impeachment talk is innappropriate.................For right now!
Never before in United States history has a President been so brazen with his executive actions as to dare the opposition party to sue him, to impeach him. This attitude comes on the heels of executive orders involving the ACA aka Obamacare and orders involving the Immigration Humanitarian Health crisis on our Southern Borders. While this crisis goes on, and he is getting owned by not just Russian President Vladimir Putin, but by Israeli leader Netanyahu, instead of being engaged on the issues such as patients with Ebola coming into the US creating a serious threat to the population, instead of paying close attention and demanding the EPA provide clear transparency and cooperate fully with the representatives of Toledo, Ohio dealing with a toxic situation with their water supply, President Obama is out campaigning, golfing, taking yet another vacation. He does this while telling the media that he dares the GOP to try to Impeach him. This not only shows his brazen disregard for law and order and constitutional limits on his authority, but it shows that he simply no longer cares if people see him as needing to be impeached. Why is it then that I think talking about Impeachment right now is a bad idea? Well because we all know that while Dirty Harry Reid is in control of the US Senate, it would never see the light of day and it would be a wasted effort. However as corrupt as Obama is, he would seek to use this to try to once again go to the Democrat Base of Voters and tell them that its because of the color of his skin that the GOP wants to impeach him and goad them out of more campaign money. I also find that this "lawsuit" of Speaker Boehner's is pretty damn worthless as well considering the current political climate and his willingness to cave on the issue himself almost a year ago during the "Shutdown" that really wasn't a shut down considering that most of government runs on auto pilot. My advice for the GOP in DC and for GOP voters nationwide is this, Vote GOP like you have never voted before in 2014, retake the US Senate and then in 2015 pursue Impeachment. Once the Democrats lose control of the US Senate, then Obama's administration is finished. I can easily see him pulling a Nixon and resigning. He knows his time in office is quickly drawing to a close.
