Paul 1, Darwin 0.

We are now at war with the government of Libya, which was no imminent threat the the United States. Under the Constitution such a war requires a declaration of war by the House of Representatives. No such declaration was made. Hence, this is an impeachable offense.

Yes, lots of other presidents should have been impeached for the same reason. But we have to start following the Constitution some time.

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with how the UN works, and when you do, drop that midget a note and explain it to him.

Obama: ‘President Does Not Have Power Under Constitution to Unilaterally Authorize a Military Attack’

Obama made the assertion in a Dec. 20, 2007 interview with the Boston Globe when reporter Charlie Savage asked him under what circumstances the president would have the constitutional authority to bomb Iran without first seeking authorization from Congress.

“The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation,” Obama responded.

Unilaterally authorize. Perhaps that's a difficult phrase to translate into your native tongue.

I'm fairly certain the US shares membership in the UNSC with 14 other sovereigns and they have already voted to approve this action. Perhaps you missed it while watching al jizzeera. (intentional)
 
Obama is just a puppet, like so many others.

"We hope Iraq will be the first domino and that Libya and Iran will follow. We don't like being kept out of markets because it gives our competitors an unfair advantage."

-John Gibson, chief executive of Halliburton's Energy Service Group, told International Oil Daily in an interview in May of 2003.1
 
Quote from olias:

I'm certain the president has enough enemies that if this is deemed to impeachable, there will be an effort to impeach him. Until then I don't see the point of belaboring the issue.

Oh, it would be inconvenient, right? Biden called for the impeachment of Bush if Bush took the United States to war in Iran without congressional approval. In his own words, “Iran is no immediate threat to the United States of America.”

Someone posted the Youtube vid of it on the last page. This should be all over the lamestream press. Instead, we get to hear all about the latest drama involving Michelle and the overweight girls. I'm sure we'll hear more about their dog, next. Anything to avoid the train wreck we're in and make the Obamas look like the perfect, sanitized reality show family.

It's not the same situation for God's sake. Anyone who wants to make the case that it is the same just looks like a fool.

But again, we shall see. Obama has enough enemies that would love to impeach him, regardless of what the media says about it.
 
In answer to the question, "Who listens to Ron Paul?" I wrote:
"The small minority of Americans who believe that our Constitution should be followed."

Quote from bearice:

300 million Americans.

This is nonsense. If 300 million Americans wanted the Constitution to be followed (which hasn't been the case in my lifetime) Ron Paul would have won the 2008 election by a landslide. For taking the Constitution seriously Ron Paul is regularly labeled a kook and a nut.
 
Quote from Locutus:

The US is smarter. Not even going to argue why.

Why not be policeman of the world? If you expect the world to basically give you prosperity via massive account deficits you have to do something for the world (i.e. make it better in some way).

If you want to be more like China that's fine but assuming you are not a top 20-ish% earner have fun living your life in squalor then.

Whiners. Still haven't really heard a convincing argument of any sort other than "OMG OBAMA IS A RETARD!"

One of the reasons we have massive deficits is because we insist on playing world cop. I fail to see how our near 10 year occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan has made life better for the average Iraqi or Afghani. Taking sides in Libya's civil war isn't going to turn out any better.
 
Quote from bearice:

Ron Paul is more respected and famous than Barack Obama. Ron Paul was a serious candidate for USA president.

Surely you jest.

RU Paul has more credibility than Ron Paul.

How does he talk out both sides of his mouth at the same time while keeping a straight face?
