Ron Paul, Denis Kucinich discuss the truth about Obama and his illegal war on Libya. The president doesn't answer to the UN, he answers to congress and "we the people".

1. Ron Paul's presence
as a stealthy "Christian" Reconstructionist is only a distraction here. My understanding is that the Senate passed, by unanimous consent, their support for action in Libya. For either Paul, who is a Reconstructionist, and Kucinich to imply otherwise, is false. I am not saying I support the action. But, the truth stands that the Senate, Dems and Repubs granted full support without a single dissenter.

4. A vote in the Senate is a half-measure.
Congress has two houses. The Constitution is not satisfied with a vote in the Senate on this kind of issue.

2. I only watch Freedom Watch if someone posts a video link
but I like what was said here about our loss of freedoms being slowly eroded by a Congress that refuses to stand up for its rights.

I may have to record it when I determine when it is on. I like it because it focuses on abuse by the establishment of which is normally covered up.

Whether we are talking Bush or Obama the imperial presidency is not good for our freedom. The real destructive trend began when Pelosi took impeachment of Bush off the table just as Bill Moyers said it would. It set a bad precedent that moved the bar in a bad direction and that subsequent Presidents would abuse power. I'd like to know why impeachment was taken off the table and who actually wanted the possibility removed. My gut feeling tells me it was about those not wanting 9-11 or the Iraq War investigation opened up.

The Federal Reserve giving 3.3 trillion of our dollars to banks and other entities around the world is an outrage. I agree with Paul and Kucinich that the Fed needs reigned in and removed from the executive branch.

5. Kucinich states that the real problem is that the
Printing of the money, (or Quantitative Easing as slimeball Bernnake refers to it) - the real problem is "That it hasn't been done to create jobs, but to give profits and wealth to a few,
and this poses real problems for our democracy."

And who has allowed this to happen? Both Bush and Obama are in on it, or else they are ignorant of it, so neither has served the needs of this nation.

6. I like Kucinich.

Hell... I can even like Paul.

They agree on one brand of absolutism. It's hard to find fault with their attitudes.

8. Have you read Matt Taibi's - Griftopia.....
http://www.amazon.com/Griftopia-Machines-Vampire-Breaking-America/dp/0385529953 I'm not finished yet. He trashes Allan Greenspan and his policies. I like his writing style. It removes any doubt that the Fed Reserve was set up to benefit the banking elite , not the USA, and it has served that purpose very well at our expense.
