[GPSCC-chat] The Audacity of War Crimes

[Brian Good]

   Probably Obama's most important historical legacy will be the fact that by failing to
investigate and prosecute the constitutional assaults and international crimes perpetrated
by the "Mad Cowboy" Bush, he acted by precedent to permanently place these usurped 
powers in the presidential toolbox.

   I was not aware that our brothers and sisters at Veterans for Peace had voted in a
resolution last August calling for Obama's impeachment for war crimes:

"for failure to uphold his sworn oath to protect and defend the 
Constitution of the United 
States of America from all enemies foreign 
and domestic, and for his commission of war 
crimes, crimes against 
humanity, obstruction of justice and the violation of numerous 
national 
and international laws, treaties and conventions.”

The liberals' pleasure in enabling a black president has blinded them, and the argument that 

political reality dictates Obama's inability to prosecute the Bush regime--because it would incite an 

armed redneck rebellion--is so effective that it needn't even be stated.


I do not subscribe to grand theories that the Illuminati or Outer-Space Reptiles or the Bohemian
Grovers secretly run the world, but I do notice that if some secret cabal wanted to formally by
precedent augment the power and authority of the chief executive to permit throwing people in 
the dungeon, wiretapping, unbridled military aggression, torture, and arbitrary secrecy, they would 
choose a black president to fulfill their agenda.  


Obama appears in Redwood City May 23.  https://my.barackobama.com/May23RedwoodCityReception?custom1=4966739 

I will be there with a big sign that says

 THE AUDACITY OF
WAR CRIMES
