Rand Paul

It was a beautiful Saturday, June 13th, when I received word that Rand Paul was coming to San Diego.

People are gobbling up his controlled-opposition candidacy like there’s no tomorrow. Coincidentally, he came through just around the same day that Israel investigated themselves and found nothing wrong in their killing of 4 innocent boys playing soccer on the beach of Gaza during the 2014 slaughter that Rand Paul and President Obama supported with US tax dollars.

While people are supporting a political false idol’s ego trip in sunny San Diego, mothers lost their children, and children lost their mothers. But that’s out of sight, out of mind for those infected by the disease known as ultra-nationalism. That’s why Paul only speaks out against drone strikes against American citizens and doesn’t care about drone strikes happening to innocent people of other nationalities at the hands of the Obama administration. He doesn’t ascribe to the notion of universal brotherhood and sisterhood, that we are all one human family and that all lives matter. American lives are not more superior to others.

President Obama has presided over policies that have resulted in horrific war crimes against civilians (mainly children), a corrupt corporatocracy, and a dragnet surveillance state. Yet in a last ditch effort to preserve his legacy, he is pursuing policies that will pacify the public’s view of his crimes, which are no different than most other presidents before him regardless of political party. We must realize that he will only pursue legacy policies up to the point it upsets his masters in the banking industry that installed him in office, just like most other presidents since Woodrow Wilson.

The argument given by Obama apologists leading up to the 2012 re-election was that if we re-elected him he would end the wars, the surveillance, the corporate/banking collusion, and the erosion of the Bill of Rights.

The line must be drawn at dead children. This is the commander in chief and he had every ability to stop these atrocities in a timely fashion. It is very important that we as a people distinguish between pragmatism and compromise. Being against the bombing of children is not being a purist; it is being human.

Dear Rand Paul: Did You Hear About Palestine’s 500 Dead Children?

Obama Can’t Undo His War Crimes with Legacy Politics
