The new budget passed by the Senate in the dead of night is another example
\nof the false left-right paradigm that collaborates to support the American Empire.<\/p>\n
The trade-off between the so-called Democrats (left) and the Republicans in Name The politics of pandering that shows up during presidential debates is a form of With the Right eager to keep the DOD bloated to fight its wars of aggression and No-one is willing to sacrifice; no-one is willing to do what is right for We, the People<\/em> and Congress is incapable of assuming its proper constitutional role. It is bad enough Once again we see the Commander-in-Chief violate his oath and his promises, this It’s called lying; it’s called mission creep; it’s called the quest for Pax Americana and This triumph of the warfare\/welfare state is also called the end of our Republic and a Perhaps “untangling America” from its government is the only answer in the present
\nOnly (RINOs\/right) to pass another cap-busting budget once again demonstrates
\nthat most of what passes for genuine deliberation is really just an elaborate game.
\nSENATE APPROVES BUDGET IN DEAD-OF-NIGHT VOTE\u2026\u201dRand Paul blasts deal as \u2018unholy alliance’\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n
\nReality TV designed to pacify and distract the broader public into acceptance of
\nwhatever Washington decides to do.<\/p>\n
\nthe Left petrified its entitlement programs might face the austerity axe, the willingness
\nof most participants to cave-in rather than risk alienating their constituencies means
\nwe are doomed to perpetual compromise rather than true debt reduction.<\/p>\n
\nhelp the country deal with its massive problems. But everyone is eager to point the
\nfinger at the other side of the aisle and pontificate when its time to mount the platform
\nfor speechifying during the campaign season.<\/p>\n
\nthat it fails to embrace its fundamental responsibility to declare wars. Rather than
\nletting presidents usurp its powers under the banners of the unitary executive and
\nhumanitarian interventions as they insert boots on the ground in foreign lands,
\nCongress should constrain them through exercising its war powers and the power
\nof the purse.<\/p>\n
\ntime with Obama sending troops back into Iraq and now into Syria.<\/p>\n
\nit is called a bipartisan, Neocon plan for unending wars.<\/p>\n
\nguaranteed prescription for a failed American future.<\/p>\n
\ntense to the mindless continuation of the failed formula we see repeated year after
\nyear by those in Washington claiming the mantle of leadership.
