I have always been a progressive……and NO that is NOT the same thing as a liberal. Only a small minded toad would equate the two together. In that time I have NEVER supported a war of any kind because of some lofty ideal like “A humanitarian crisis”……but that is me….unfortunately there are many that will side with war on the hint of a something that smacks of humanitarian and the powers that be have used that situation as a pretense to do many things from regime change to passing off overstocked water….
Americans spend too much time believing the propaganda that the government feeds them an progressives are no different…..the government will use whatever they must to justify war in the minds of the people……even a humanitarian cause.
The online advocacy group, Avaaz, has pulled progressives into support of U.S. “humanitarian” wars in Libya and Syria by promoting sweet-sounding ideas like “no-fly zones,” as John Hanrahan explains.
A recent two-part series in The New York Times laid out in detail the pivotal role that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton played in President Obama’s decision to join in France and Britain’s 2011 military campaign against long-time Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The Times articles make the case that Clinton bears a heavy part of the responsibility for the tragic, increasingly chaotic aftermath of that campaign in which Gaddafi was ousted and killed.
As The Times summaries of the articles put it, Gaddafi’s fall “seemed to vindicate Hillary Clinton. Then militias refused to disarm, neighbors fanned a civil war, and the Islamic State found refuge,” leaving Libya “a failed state and a terrorist haven.

Thanx for the link….I will check it out a little later.
85-90% of all the people alive today couldn’t tell a lie from the truth if they wished, for, I don’t believe they ever hear enough of the truth to be able to tell the difference. Secondary to that is the simple fact those same people don’t have a mind educated in critical thinking; all they’ve been taught was given to them by people as mentally enslaved as are they, or from the TV, radio, etc. They don’t HAVE the crap detector with which we are all born, for most people get it taken away from them at the very start of their lives.
I am often amazed at how many people I find here on the internet who actually are capable of seeing what is true and what is false… unfortunately, they are, for the most part, like me, and many others, who have always refused to take part in the insanity, and don’t have the organization, or the evil intent, to be able to organize resistance on a larger scale than individually.
Until it all falls down, which, believe me, it will, we are doomed to constant war, for there is no profit in peace…
