It's all Bush's fault, right?

The price of ignoring the Constitution for the United States

by Mark Yannone

How exciting! Keith Olbermann takes some very powerful shots at George W. Bush. But where are the shots at the members of the United States Congress who violated their oaths of office when they pretended that they didn't need to declare war against Afghanistan and Iraq? The Constitution is clear: only Congress can declare war. That law is still in effect.

To make this crime perfectly obvious, in October 2002 Congressman Ron Paul proposed legislation to declare war on Iraq, and Congress refused to pass it.

Keith Olbermann's hard-hitting rant is merely hot pabulum designed to reinforce in the general public's mind the mistaken idea that Bush or any other president can behave as America's dictator.

Olbermann is no fool. He knows he is lying. He is being paid to lie by MSNBC.

Do you think the media company that lies about Ron Paul and refuses to acknowledge Ron Paul is going to pay Keith Olbermann to be a patriot on TV?

No.

Olbermann is at MSNBC to convince Americans that Bush has achieved what he cannot achieve, that he now has power that he didn't have before.

Olbermann criticizes Bush for signing a piece of paper as if that had any effect. It doesn't, and Olbermann knows it. To be the patriot he pretends to be, all he would have to do is appear on the screen with the words of the Constitution and point out that only Congress can make laws and that neither Bush nor Congress can change the Constitution.

Keith Olbermann wouldn't have a job if he did that.



Care to count the war criminals? Given the enormity of the crime, the punishment meted out by the court must certainly be death. That's quite a price to pay.
