Comments on: UPDATE III: Libya: My First Liberal War (Bravo Bernie) https://barelyablog.com/libya-my-first-liberal-war/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Maria https://barelyablog.com/libya-my-first-liberal-war/comment-page-1/#comment-18330 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 21:28:00 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=36170#comment-18330 Bernie can be surprising; he voted down the great illegal immigration amnesty putsch of 2007 all three times it was attempted. He was more stalwart at opposing amnesty than “conservatives” like Kyl.

Meanwhile, the “left-liberals” hate dropping bombs on yellow/brown/red/black “primative” people UNLESS the Commander-in-Chief is from my political party:

Because as ruthless as it sounds, it at least isn’t stupid and insane as the reasons the .gov and the Press are giving us. We’re killing Libyans to prevent Libyans from getting killed. And both sides hate us.

Seriously. 1999 called and they want their crappy conflict back.

I wish this is a war for oil.

Dr. Woods refutation of the ridiculous Levin can be read here. The conservative, pro-free marker constitutional scholar Rob Natelson also responds to the constitutionality (or lack there of) of the war against Libya found here.

For what its worth (very little!), Newt’s law that for every bloviation, there is an equal and opposite counter-bloviation seems to apply on the war where Gingrich has done a 1080 degrees recently:

Ilana, I feel more and more like one of the animals in Animal Farm. Old Major, like the founders, talked of some peaceful animal pasture paradise just as Jefferson proclaimed “That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men” – nice talk

…BUT the reality is our current government – an out-of-control Empire, spending $ 3 for every $ 2 it siphons off the American people. That Empire regulates our toilet bowls, arrests a majority of black men, virtually emasculates white men in “public education”, strip-searches grandmothers, kowtows to Islam, bombs countries, occupies others – all with impunity and little meaningful opposition. The mainstream media and academics are all behind this Leviathan and the average Americano just wants a good plasma TV to watch Soap Operas or NASCAR. The American Sheeple can be relied on to shout “Four Legs Good Two Legs Better” or whatever blather supports the Empire of Freedom, Liberty, and Democracy as Smart Bombs drop over primitives half a world away.
