“Hell no! We won’t go!”
Is anyone old enough to remember the opponents of the draft in the Vietnam War? Most of those liberal protesters were so far to the left politically that Republicans in the 1960s wanted nothing to do with them.
Flash forward to 2002, and there were 50 percent more votes by Democrats against the war in Iraq than for it when then-President George W. Bush called for U.S. troops to invade that country. Democrats were rightfully suspicious of evidence presented at the UN of Saddam Hussein’s supposed weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) — and they had every reason to be; disgraced former Secretary of State Colin Powell presented misleading photos and lies to the international body that later turned out to be totally cooked up by analysts at the CIA.
But oh, what a change a difference of 15 years can make. Now, it’s hard to find a Democrat in Congress who’s anti-war, never mind suspicious of globalist accusations that President Bashar Assad of Syria was responsible for the recent horrific Sarin gas attack in his country (despite rafts of documentation that ISIS and other rebel groups have been behind previous attacks).
Now, when one courageous Democrat, Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii (who is herself an Iraq War veteran), dares to call for further investigation of this issue, ex-peaceniks like Howard Dean, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, are calling for her removal from office.
Further dragging out of the war in Syria (which was dying out and almost at its conclusion until this most recent attack) will only cost the U.S. more blood and effort — resources that we can’t afford — while it enriches globalists at the helm of defense-contracting companies, as pointed out by Republicans like Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Which party is the antiwar party again? Watch as Fox’s Tucker Carlson clarifies the answer to this question.
