What else do you expect dar? He's a lying, idiotic, weasel who is immune to logic, reason, facts, accurate historical record, or even black and white excerpts from the Constitution. Facts don't matter to people as mentally unstable and delusional as UG. You can't reason with the unreasonable like UG.

I've long quoted the parts of the Constitution that prove everything I've said. The Constitution grants ONLY Congress the power to DECLARE war when it is used to carry out the goal of "common DEFENSE". It cannot make war other than through a formal declaration of war. This is the only means given to Congress to make war.

To anyone that comprehends the English language, this means the role and scope of the U.S. military is defined and limited to being for the DEFENSE of America, not offensive action against other nations that pose no harm to our own and which have not attacked ours. It also means that Congress can only make war through a declaration of war. The Constitution also describes the only way to change the Constitution...through an amendment. Which means acts of congress that contradict the Constitution such as Congress authorizing the president to make war, are blatantly unconstitutional. The power of Congress to make war is limited to being only for our defense and defense, by definition, means we only declare war on nations that attack our own. The Constitution also clearly states that the President is the commander-in-chief WHEN CALLED UPON by Congress, which means through a formal declaration of war because this is the only way the Constitution allows Congress to make war.

One might think that UG's inability to comprehend the English language might be limited to his utter disdain for the U.S. Constitution, but his disdain and selective illiteracy also applies to libertarian philosophy...which is funny since he dishonestly claims to be a libertarian.

The core belief of the libertarian philosophy is NON-AGGRESSION, which means you DO NOT initiate force against anyone who has not initiated force against you. UG likes to make self-righteous platitudes about wanting to kill others in the name of freedom and justice, and other nonsense ad nauseum, and if those people ask him for help, he should be free to volunteer to go to those places and help them on his own. But he isn't satisfied with that. He thinks he is entitled to use the U.S. Military which is defined and limited by the Constitution as being for the common DEFENSE of America, to attack nations which have not attacked ours, and which pose no danger to our own country. This is not only unlibertarian, it's unAmerican, and idiotic. It violates the principles of our founders who warned us to avoid tangling alliances and it violates common sense.

As John Quincy Adams said...

"America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own."


As a true libertarian, I wish freedom, independence, prosperity, and happiness to all people of all nations, but would not allow the U.S. military to win it for any people of any nation but our own because it violates the Constitution and because freedom won by others does not last. When someone gives something to you, you don't value it as much as if you have earned it for yourself. In fact with opponents of freedom like UG in our midst, freedom and liberty don't last very long even when you do win it for yourself.

UG would claim that we went into Iraq to "liberate the Iraqi people" which is utter bullshit. The reasons for that blatantly unconstitutional and immoral war changed from week to week and none of them was to liberate the Iraqi people. First they said that Saddam had weapons, which he did not. But even if he did, this does not make him a threat to America. Merely owning a weapon does not make someone a threat. Using UG's pathetic and poor excuse for logic, it would be ok for me to gun someone down because I saw a bump in their pocket that MIGHT be a gun, and they MIGHT use it against me. Using his logic, I can go around killing anyone who MIGHT have the power to harm me...if at some point they decided to in the future.

UG's lack of logic, education, reason, honesty, courage, integrity, character, sanity, and moral fiber are snowballing and making him a truly sad, pathetic, and impotent little man. He's a sociopath and a moron with an inflated ego. And that's a bad combination.
