"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Ron Paul: Why Are We At War In Yemen?
“The US claims that everyone killed was a “suspected militant,” but Yemeni citizens have for a long time been outraged over the number of civilians killed in such strikes. The media has reported that of all those killed in these recent US strikes, only one of the dead was on the terrorist “most wanted” list.” I don't know about y'all, but this has had me unspeakably angry for a while now. Our nation doesn't have the right to kill “suspects” here or anywhere else. Suspects are people under suspicion, not proven. This is murder, again and again and again. This is so far outside the rule of law and civility, that I still find it shocking. And, these 'military actions' that slither around the requirement that Congress declare war should be stopped, as they are illegal and immoral. Congress, if they gave a damn about right and wrong, could do something to stop these actions -- halt funding, impeach, etc. But, no. These treasonous bastards are far more concerned with legislation that protects them from being subjected to Obamacare and similar pressing matters. What a shameful, shameful disgrace it all is.
