Foreign Policy Showdown - Rand Paul Emphatically States: Obama Will Not Get Away With a Syria Strike On My Watch
In 1971, Secretary of State John Kerry famously questioned: “How can you ask a man to be the last one to die for a mistake?” I would ask Secretary Kerry how can you ask a man to be the first one to die for a mistake? That is what he would be doing if the U.S. intervened in the Syrian civil war.
While the death and destruction stemming from the Syrian civil war is difficult to watch, I believe the U.S. must exercise maximum restraint and uphold the constitutional requirement that grants Congress, not the president, the right to declare war. The president’s announcement that he will seek congressional approval before unilaterally going to war is a step in the right direction.
From a strategic standpoint, there are three questions that should always be asked and sufficiently answered before going to war: What is the U.S. national interest? What is the military objective? What is the exit strategy?
We should also be skeptical of the Islamic rebels that our nation would be fighting alongside. Our knowledge of the relationship with these rebels is murky at best. What reason do we have to believe that they have America’s best interest? The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend. On one side, we have Assad; on the other, we have Al-Qaeda. On one side we have Islamic jihadists; on the other, we have Christians. We have priests and civilians kidnapped and killed by Islamic rebels. It seems on all sides we have chaos and it is unclear if any side will, in the end, be a friend to the United States. (Read Entire Article Here)
Jack Hunter attacked by conservatives because of supporting states rights or is their more to the story?
Yesterday you saw some hawks, whose ideology is dying and whose worldview is being discredited every day, launch an attack on Senator Rand Paul by attacking one of his brilliant aides, Jack Hunter.
Jack’s sin in their eyes was having spoken favorably of states’ rights, and negatively of Lincoln. They can’t seem to recognize that states’ rights--even secession--does not equal racism; it constitutes a brake on the feds’ march to totalitarianism. Most modern day states’ rights advocates recognize the sovereignty of the states and their inherent ability to nullify and avoid federal violations of the Constitution in order to protect life and liberty from an overgrown, intrusive federal leviathan that literally now interferes in or spies on every facet of our lives. And most historians and legal scholars who appreciate personal liberty and limited government recognize that the history of Lincoln’s assaults on civil liberties is a topic capable of divergent views and worthy of exposure.

Chesterfield Tea Party endorses Virgil Goode or Gary Johnson for President
The
Chesterfield Tea Party Proudly Endorses Virgil Goode of the
Constitution Party and Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party for
President on November 6th in the General Election.
Virgil and Gary, though not perfect, have shown themselves defenders Personal Liberty and defending our natural born liberties from tyrannous politicians from both major parties by their records while in office.
Virgil and Gary, though not perfect, have shown themselves defenders Personal Liberty and defending our natural born liberties from tyrannous politicians from both major parties by their records while in office.
They
are against Federal Healthcare, a De facto National ID and Indefinite
Detention of American Citizens that are only suspected of terrorism,
as well as many more great issues.
For
true limited government conservatives and libertarians we suggest you
vote for Virgil Goode and Gary Johnson. Because Romney is not a
limited government liberty loving conservative.
