Today, the President threated to strike Syria with missiles and bombs and told the Russians to get out of the way. This is a Declaration of War - something which only Congress is supposed to be able to do - yet he has done it.
What seems even worse to me is that as always, Congress has said nothing about this - total silence to the shredding of the Principles of the Constitution. The Constitution to which every member of Congress has sworn an oath to uphold.
Is there anyone left in the Great Imperial City of Washington DC who understands Duty, Integrity, and Obligation to the sacred principles this nation was founded upon?
Is there one person in Congress who will break the silence? Is there anyone with the Patriotism left to rouse Congress from their petty search for party-line power and who can get them to stand up for that which they are morally obligated to defend.
Isn’t it a mockery that each year Congress funds a $700B military budget, waves the flag and asks the members of the military to sacrifice themselves, their families and even their lives to defend this Country and the Constitution.
Well now I say it is time for Congress to stand for something.
Now is not the time for silence. Nor the time for ignoring the danger. Not when this nation could be thrown into another massive conflict, perhaps even with Russia. Not now, when the future of this Nation and its People are severely at risk. Not now, when the consequences could shatter our Nation and its People.
Will Congress assume its Duties and restore our lost Constitution our will it be complicit in allowing the President to seize unlawful Powers?
