Today, the Obama Administration has shredded the U. S. Constitution yet again, by going to war against Libya.  Regardless of the merits of intervention, and they are debatable, the Executive Branch has no constitutional authority to go to war absent a declaration of war by the United States Congress.  Just as Lincoln started the 19th century American Holocaust, which left 3 million dead, without any constitutional authority, so Obama, another Son of Illinois, has launched us into yet another war.  What ought members of our armed forces do when they are confronted with orders to engage in an unconstitutional war?  Should they disobey those orders and point to the higher authority of  the United States Constitution as their defense?  Nazi soldiers who acted illegally in World War II tried to defend their actions by stating that they were just following orders.  The world rejected that defense.  What is the difference when our own military acts illegally by following orders to engage in an unconstitutional war?

Leaving Libya for the moment, what do we do next?  When do the air strikes begin against Yemen and Bahrain?  How about Saudi Arabia?  We already are engaged in a covert war in Mexico.  Will the tanks from Fort Hood be rolling across the international bridges in El Paso next?  How about an assault on Venezuela?  This is far more than a slippery slope.  This is utter madness.  What exactly is the Obama Doctrine?  Earlier this week, and for the past several weeks, President Obama rejected military involvement in Libya.  Now he has flipped his position.  When the Commander in Chief shows contempt for the Consititution by his actions, do the people owe him any further allegiance, regardless of whether they are in uniform?  Our blood, treasure, and honor are at stake here.  Surely the Arab League nations with their coffers overflowing with oil money could have done this, if it is really something of which they approve. 

Has the time arrived for another American Revolution?  How else will we regain constitutional control of our government and the war profiteers that now are calling the shots?  Non-violent resistance to every Federal action may be the logical next step.  If we are ever to become what was promised in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, at some point American citizens will be required to act – act to throw out the guardians of political correctness, the lobbyists that run the show, and the illegal immigrants that are destroying our communities and way of life.  If we can afford another war in Libya, we can afford to secure our own borders.  And eject everyone here illegally.

What is your take on this latest scandal of Federal over-reaching?
