Is America Trying to Start a War with Russia?

Will Malven
7/25/2014

I just have to wonder, is the Obama Administration trying to start an actual shooting war with Russia, just to distract from the myriad of domestic problems that Americans currently face and to bolster dramatically sagging Democrat polling numbers?

The situation continues to deteriorate, with claims and counter-claims being traded and with the US apparently getting most of it's information from . . . social media. Who knew that Twitter and Facebook postings were legitimate sources of intelligence upon which to base one's foreign policy strategies?

This whole Ukraine/Russia business began because the Obama Administration was funneling money and discussing take-over strategies with anti-Yanukovych opposition leaders, Klitschko, Yatseniuk, and Tyahnybok.

America sent $92 million in FY2013 State/USAID funds and $86 million in FY2014 funds including $11 million for "non-partisan election activities, including efforts to support voter education and civic participation,” we are providing an additional $50 million in technical assistance and the $1 billion dollar loan guarantee under the authority passed by Congress on April 1st.

When Russia (or whomever it was) released tapes of US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland discussing her activities and those of US Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, in aiding anti-Yanukovich forces, the MSM focused most of their attention on Nuland's brief and obscene reference to our EU allies.

However, the really striking and most offensive aspect of this discussion isn't Ms. Nuland's language, it's the fact that they are on tape discussing plans for aiding in the overthrow of a legitimately elected government.

America was aiding in the overthrow of a duly (and twice) elected President of an independent nation. Yet somehow they are shocked that Russia reacted negatively to that.

America cannot actively seek to overthrow the legitimately elected government of a sovereign nation and not expect a reaction from those who oppose that action.

This whole business is the Obama Administration in full (and typically liberal) hypocrisy-mode.

It's not our business. We don't have a dog in this hunt. This entire Ukrainian mess of Obama's making is a matter for Europe and Russia to hash out. Democrats didn't like it when Republican Administrations did this sort of thing, and now they're doing exactly the same.

George Bush was wrong to invade Iraq, and Obama . . . well Obama's been a foreign policy disaster from day one. Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Iran, Syria, Iraq, now Gaza and Israel . . . they've been bumbling from one foreign policy failure to the next.

Now, Obama is engaged in his first real dealings with a major foreign adversary and he is being played by Putin like a fiddle.

The real threat Obama poses is that he, like most narcissistic leaders, might suddenly lash out simply so as not to appear weak. Liberals consistently underestimate our adversaries and get embarrassed by them and this often leads them to make rash decisions.

Long Live Our American Republic!!!!

"Racism:" The Throw-away Liberal Accusation

Will Malven

Every time a conservative criticizes President Obama, the first response from liberals and Black Leaders is an accusation of "racism." Time for a little dose of truth.

Conservatives oppose Obama because the policies he supports and the positions he espouses are antithetical to what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they built this greatest of nation. Obama is wrong, because he doesn't believe in the Constitution, because he believes that America is the source of evil in the world, and because he believes that private enterprise, profit, and capitalism are evil. He is wrong because he believes that government isn't just the answer to some questions, but to all questions.

Opposing Obama isn't "racism," it is rejecting a President with whom we have a fundamental, principled political and philosophical disagreement; it is opposing a man who doesn't see the world as I and other conservatives see it.

So go ahead, accuse us of "racism," it has no power over us or what we say. That tired, old, empty, accusation, used for decades to badger and intimidate good people who love this nation, no longer carries any weight.

Unfortunately for liberals and the "race pimps" of the black civil rights movements, African American activist Mary Frances Berry spilled the beans when she said:

"Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is NO EVIDENCE that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans and indeed many other Americans, but getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one's opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness."[Emphasis added]

There it is right from the horse's mouth. The accusation of "racism" is nothing more than a ploy used by the left to achieve their political goals.

Claims of "racist" and "racism" have been used for so long and so often that the words have ceased to have any real meaning or hold any power.

Accusing others of "Racism" is now nothing but a liberal political ploy intended to silence opposition. The accusation has no meaning--unless one is referring to the mobs of black youths raging through our cities this summer attacking only white people . . . FOR BEING WHITE . . . that, I'll grant you, is racism.
