The Lying Hawaiian Leads America to War in Your Name

Our truth-challenged President Barack H. Obama and several members of his feckless Congress have officially decided to provide millions of dollars in weaponry to the Syrian rebels in their civil war against the government of Bashar al-Assad.

This occurs as our Hawaiian-born president battles at least six major scandals that question his decision making skills and challenge the very heart of his credibility. This occurs while America still has over 60,000 troops fighting the War in Afghanistan, the longest war in American history, a war Obama said he was going to end as he campaigned way back in 2007. And since that election, he’s also placed thousands of new “boots on the ground” in other Middle Eastern countries and Africa. Those “boots” include members of our regular military forces as well as special forces and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) personnel.

This occurs after Obama has already significantly multiplied the amount, and use of killer drones to every corner on earth. He’s targeted Americans without due-process of law, supposed bad guys and any innocent bystander that gets in his way.

This occurs as America still has tens of millions of citizens out of work, or working less/making less than before he took office. Unemployment is still above 7.5% and we now have a record number of people on food stamps (over 47 million) in conjunction with a record number of citizens on disability (about 8.8 million). And let's not forget that America still faces a debt of $16 trillion and rising.

But worst of all, this occurs after a majority of the Syrian rebels he’s arming have already publicly pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda. You remember that’s the scum that took down the Twin Towers and has spread destruction, death and fear across the globe in the name of some twisted, perverted holy war. The reality on the ground in Syria is the American-friendly rebels are not strong enough or coordinated enough to keep the weapons we are sending out of the hands of the bad rebels who are anti-American, anti-human rights, anti-religious freedom and just plain evil.

There is video and confirmation of a Syrian rebel recently killing another human on the battlefield, immediately cutting into that human’s chest with a big knife, then eating a piece of that human’s heart.

There is video and confirmation of Syrian rebels murdering a 14-year-old boy after taking offense to words that came out of the boy’s mouth. Witnesses and members of the boy’s family say the boy was working at his family’s store and told a customer he would not loan that customer money even if he was the Prophet Muhammad. The rebels felt the boy insulted Islam. They took him outside, read a speech, then shot the boy three times and stepped on his body, all in front of his mother. She said the boy was working to support the family and several war orphans.

Why is our sketchy president rolling with these madmen, all the while we still face so many challenges in America and abroad? What could it be?

Is he trying to take your eyes, ears and attention off his scandals? Is he just another whore to the nebulous Military Industrial Complex. Is he secretly trying to turn America into some New World socialist/police state? Is he taking bribes? Maybe something else? Or is he just a fool?

Unfortunately, we’re going to find out the hard way unless you and millions of other Americans momentarily break away your smart phones, Facebook, Twitter, sports, The Voice, fast food, drugs, alcohol, porn and other distractions to tell the Lying Hawaiian to stop the money train headed for more war. Our president continues to poop on your head and tell you it’s just shampoo. You can smell and feel what he’s saying is wrong, but his flashy smile and dulcet-toned used car salesman pitches beckon you to rub the filth in deeper, into a lather. It’s now dripping into your eyes, burning and sickening your very soul.

The daily application of Barry’s Poop Shampoo is making you deaf, dumb and blind.

If you love yourself, America and freedom itself, I plead with you to trust reason, logic, reality and the facts around you, and rinse off the Lying Hawaiian’s elixir of deceit, before he drips his deep conditioner on your dome and seals your fate.

The announcement by America to arm the Syrian rebels is already causing a domino effect. Russia has now announced it’s ramping-up it’s already long military relationship with the Syrian government by supplying new anti-aircraft missiles and corresponding weaponry. This is especially troubling with the news that America may soon be taking part in enforcing a No-Fly Zone over Syria. We currently have hundreds of troops, Patriot Missile Batteries and F-16 fighter jets stationed across the Syrian border in Jordan. There are several news reports indicating those forces are already committed to any No-Fly Zone action, putting them directly in harms way to the Russian purchased missiles.

Additionally, news reports from overseas have indicated Iran is sending 4000 troops to Syria to help the government fight the rebels. The new, supposed moderate, President of Iran has not publicly refuted this yet.

To make matters worse, the Syrian war is causing a humanitarian crisis with refugees from that country spilling into neighboring Jordan, Turkey and Greece. Those countries are in no shape to be accepting refugees.

And remember, this is all happening as the Arab Spring continues to pick up steam, causing riots, chaos, ancient religious reprisal and central government changes throughout the Middle East. How ironic and sad that Obama announced his misguided rebel arming a few days before America’s observed Father’s Day, as the Lying Hawaiian is the Father of The Arab Spring.

Then, just a few days ago, the White House announced it’s sending an additional $300 million to assist in the humanitarian crisis, for a total now of $815 million sent. I don’t want to minimize the human suffering that is taking place, and I’m personally willing to see help sent to refugees in my name, as an American, but aid should be the totality of the nose we stick into this war. America is not financially healthy enough to be bailing out every sick, poor, suffering and on-the-run refugee at the first tear that drops anymore, and we sure as hell can’t be the world police at the moment.

President Obama is playing ignorant to American and world history when he arms one side one day, then expects those arms not to end up in the wrong hands later.

Specifically, America putting it’s nose and money under the sheets of each side of the Shia-Sunni hatred of each other in the Middle East over the last, at least 50 years, has not bettered their situation or ours.

We don’t have to go too far back in history to find two American examples of misguided arms and money funding programs gone really afoul, leading to major death, destruction and turmoil.

The first example is when America provided arms and money to the mujahideen in Afghanistan beginning in the late 1970’s until late 1980’s. They were fighting a war against the former Soviet Union, and we were still in the middle of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Our help may have contributed in making the Soviets leave Afghanistan in a horrible defeat, but it ultimately came back to hurt us. The Taliban took over Afghanistan several years after the Soviet army turned tail and left, and ended up gaining control of much of the weaponry we left behind. The Taliban got stronger, created a base for Islamist extremists like Osama bin Laden and the perverted al-Qaeda scumbags, and then they came to America and used airplanes as death machines.

The next example is America’s secret involvement in Vietnam’s business, long before the American public ever had a clue. We began by backing Vietnam’s independence from French colonial rule in the mid 1940’s with assistance and intelligence. The United States Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor to the modern (CIA), literally slipped a copy of the American Declaration of Independence into the hands of Vietminh leader Ho Chi Minh before he used it as reference for his speech announcing Vietnam’s independence on a platform in Hanoi on September 2, 1945. It only took about four years for America to change it’s mind on who our friends were in Vietnam, as the fear of communism changed our bedfellows to that of the French. In late 1949 United States Secretary of State Dean Acheson convinced President Harry S. Truman to provide $15 million to the French forces in Vietnam, which at that time was called the French Indochina War. Our assistance climbed to over $2 billion in just four years. America then secretly began a decade long assistance program featuring money, weapons and boots on the ground at the behest of President’s Dwight D. Eisenhower and Robert F. Kennedy. They shucked and jived the American public as long as they could, with Kennedy actually flatly saying “No,” when asked if U.S. troops were engaged in fighting in Vietnam during a press conference January 15, 1962. The reality though, was that we had dozens of our Navy's ships and subs off the coast, jets flying missions in the air with our pilots, and our regular troops and special forces on the ground already dying.

A couple years later after Kennedy was assassinated, President Lyndon Johnson, and then President Nixon, both really ramped up the war, until Americans finally stood up to the useless foolishness. The stupidity ultimately cost America over 58,000 dead soldiers and a disenchanted, non-trusting public. It cost the Vietnamese over one million dead soldiers and civilians.

Are you up for another war America, because the folks in Washington DC seem to think you’re fine with it.

As we stand today, we’re still a representative democracy that has a say in how we approach war, how much we spend on it, and whether we have it all.

Remember, silence is acceptance. To not stand against something, is taking a stand for it.

I suggest you rinse off Barry’s Poop Shampoo, step out of the dirty shower and put on a wardrobe of peace, or at least a smarter suit of war.
