The only thing that Liberals want is to line their pockets with welfare programs.
If they can attack a republican president for any reason, they will do it. However, a Liberal president always gets a free pass on everything.
Where's all the war protests?

There are few things to admire about modern liberals/Progressives/Socialists/Communists or whatever moniker they hide behind nowadays, but one of them was their protests against wars.
So, where is Cindy Sheehan?
Why isn't she camping outside the Hawaii hotel of Barack Obama while he is vacationing in paradise?
Where's all the marches on Washington DC to protest the war in Afghanistan? (now that Bush successfully ousted the dictator in Iraq?)
Where's the protest by the left for Obama bombing Libya?
The Left's silence is deafening.
Must we elect a Republican again for you to find your moral outrage?
I know this is probably a futile effort in trying to understand the warped mind of a liberal, but if there is an ounce of sanity in your reasoning, please use it to explain your lack of protests.

2) We are already at war. The time to protest is when we are about to get ourselves into a quagmire, not after we have fallen in. That's why you don't see the intensity of protest as you did when the Republicans made the mistake in the first place. Now we need to fix what the Republicans broke.
Now I know what OWS is doing.
Fixing things.
I assume your magninimous nature doesn't allow you to charge for your enlightening cliches.
Thanks for dropping by.
Unless you can recall your last 10,000 incarnations, or project your thoughts through the astral plane to express your opinion, please refrain from resorting to banal expressions intended to imply some sort of enlightened or lofty position.
OWS is about as anti-war as a three year old throwing a temper tantrum in a grocery store. The fact that they have found a commonality in purpose (whining in solidarity) places them somewhere between that cathartic child and a street gang (in their asserted socio-economic strata).
Obama just followed that plan.
Since Obama bypassed Congress with his bombing of Libya (which would be considered an act of war if it was done to us) we'll never know what the will of the people was.
And I'm looking forward to the troop withdrawal in Afghanistan.
You said it, I didn't.
It was your contention he was doing the will of the people.
I think your scenario best describes the methods of a dictator than the methods of a Republic or Democracy.
The War Powers Act was enacted in a time of war. For the purposes of conducting a War more efficiently. I wasn't aware we were at war with Libya.
Did you mean the War Powers Resolution?
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The War Powers Resolution was disregarded by President Reagan in 1981 by sending military to El Salvador, by President Clinton in 1999, during the bombing campaign in Kosovo, and by President Obama in 2011, when he did not seek congressional approval for the attack on Libyan forces, arguing that the Resolution did not apply to that action, and again when troops entered Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden. All incidents have had congressional disapproval, but none have had any successful legal actions taken against the president for violations.[2][3] All presidents since 1973 have declared their belief that the act is unconstitutional.
2. We never had any troops on the ground in Libya
3. Troops are being withdrawn fairly quickly from Afghanistan, now that Obama has eliminated bin Laden.
There isn't much for an anti-war person to protest.
...I had this conversation with someone here about this, was it you?
Went to his concerts while attending U of Florida (last century) LOL
Did he get Congress 'Approval' to start a war in Libya?
Did he not allow 30K+ SAM's to fall into terrorists or others hands...started the bombing campaign without first securing these missles or destroying them them outright with their non-stop bombing
Does he not have 'boots on the ground' in Africa in various countries?
Have 'his' drones not killed many innocents in his search to kill supposed terrorists?

But if Obama starts rattling his sword at Syria, I hope to hear from you.
He could go from simply being a Narcisstic incompetent to a power hungry megolamaniac with the power he has.
Some contend that he is purposely destroying America.
In fact, the President is probably the most "competent" President we've ever had.

October scores an "A".
(to play the con game) ;)
These were clear and unambiguous declarations of submission to foreign governments, agencies and organizations and ended with the dismissing of the Constitution as not applicable to them or their decisions. I have to wonder why both men were not frog-marched out of the meeting and straight to jail. But then, we are talking about the District of Criminals here and we know it is rare that anyone from the District ever goes to jail no matter how anti-American, unlawful or unconstitutional or treasonous their activities or views.
