    Are We Becoming Nazi America?

    Liberalpro: Has anyone noticed the neocon incursions into our homes? Has anyone noticed the glamorizati0n of the military, law enforcement agencies and any other governmental organizatation that carries a weapon. The perpatrator is eight times out of ten, a male, with a middle eastern accent, or a black man who was "left out of the system" and in one case out of ten, an average white guy, just to keep the scales of justice right, and to add some suspence to a show.

    Look at the shows on the networks. We have "The Unit" which actually promotes the military breaking the law and ripping the constitution into tiny little pieces. We have a million CSI's and I myself have witnessed more autopsies than the average doctor. We have Hi-Tech this and that on the History Channel, we have NCIS, Cops, America's most Wanted, and more everyday. We have movies coming out of Iraq at an average of two a month. The networks are saturated with plots against the US, Government Agencies run amok, and the star of almost every one of these shows is the agent with the biggest weapon.

    In reality, I don't care what people watch. When I was younger and more impressionable, we had shows like M*A*S*H and All in The Family and other shows that were anti killing and death. Now we have shows on television and the movies that make the case that if you kill somebody who disagrees with you, well then, it's OK. So when this generation grows up and weapons sales quadruple, don't blame it on the family that has both the mother and father working to pay for the basic nessesities of life, blame it on whomever is glorifying the right to shoot people that disagree with the government. Blame it on this whole American mindset towards violence. Remember, this is coming from a man who spent a career in the military, so get that notion of liberal pacifist, tree-hugger out of your mind.

    The terrorists that blew up the World Trade Center did much more than kill almost three thousand people and wipe out some good real estate for a few years. They forgot the old maxim that violence begets violence. They also turned this nation into what is rapidly becoming "Nazi America". This is something that we as Americans can stop from happening. This is the biggest threat we face at this time. We are a nation that is founded on the principles that are written into the American Constitution. When we drift away from that, we become just another country, in a maze of countries that are fighting for supremacy, as if that notion really existed.

    Global Warming, Business, and the end of Civilization

    LPA: The Liberal Party of America believes that it is a moral travesty that 2% of the population control most of this planet's wealth. These are the same people that don't want the majority of people to know that this planet is faced with the prospects of global warming, and that unless something is done about it in the next ten years, then in fifty years, we will have reached "The point of no return" and that the planet will face things like the jetstream stopping and therefore bringing another Ice Age to the Northern Hemisphere in the space of 15 years, or the Ice caps melting and the resulting rise in sea levels will completly cover all of our coastal cities as well as Florida and Louisiana, or probably both the rise of the oceans and the Ice Age together.

    This will occur during severe and numerous hurricanes and cyclones, droughts, and terrible storms. This is not science fiction, it is science fact. Our own government agencies have been censored from giving the American people the facts. This is because things like implementation of things such as the Kyoto Protocals will cost American business money. Money that they do not wish to part with. Woldwide conglomerates do not want the people of the world to know this, else they try to stop it, costing these companies trillions of dollars.

    It is the top 2% of the world's population that will kill not only the other 98% of the world, but eventually themselves. Civilization will fall and if anyone survives, we will be thrown back to the stone age. The Hopi Indians say that this has happened many times before. They claim every twenty thousand years. Maybe they are right. All we can see now is that the American government censors any real information about global warming. The immorral part and the shame of it all, is that more than likely, the sheep who make up the other 98% of the world's population will let them do it. You can be one of those sheep, or you can write to your elected officials and demand that the White House stop censoring our own governmental agencies reports.

    LPA Statement on The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

    LPA: When President Bush defends his violations of our basic freedoms because of this "War on Terror" that the administration has deftly manufactured, he also brings up the fact that this "War" will be a long and costly one. He also uses the argument that presidents in time of war have suspended Habeas Corpus and violated the Fourth Amendment. This is not a valid argument and
    LPA would like to point out that:

    1. This is not a war that has been declared and legitimatized by the Congress of the United States according to the law of the land under the Constitution.

    2. The forces of Iraq did not pose a "Clear and Present Danger" to the United States or its citizens.

    3. The proper protocol involving international disputes as provided for in the United Nations Charter and UN Security Council Resolutions were ignored.

    4. The United States has no right to unilaterally intervene in the affairs of other sovereign nations, whether to “democratize” them or not. Indeed, as a signatory of the UN Charter, the United States is legally bound to respect the territorial integrity of all Member-States of the United Nations. Ironically, the administration wishes to “export democracy”, when in fact it seeks to dismantle the fundamentals of our own representative democracy and our republic’s constitutional form of government.

    LPA also stresses the point that we are not including the Afghanistan conflict in this article. These are two very different conflicts. The Taliban and Al-Qaeda and other Islamist terror groups did pose a “Clear and Present Danger” to the United States and its people. If the President and his administration wanted to do things correctly, they could have gone to the UN after 9/11, when there was great sympathy and respect for the people of the United States. At that pivotal time, the President could have easily won a formal Declaration of War against the nation of Afghanistan.

    We have seen this administration take us down the road of international intervention in that is unprecedented in the post-war history of the United States. The war in Vietnam was also unlawful, but the government of South Vietnam although a pawn of the West, did invite the United States and other countries to help them to fight a communist insurrection that was aided and abetted by the Soviet Union, the Peoples Republic of China, the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong. There was no such call for intervention from anyone in Iraq. What is more, there were no links between Iraq and Al-Qaeda and far more reason to pressure countries like Saudi Arabia for their financial and moral support of radical Islamist terrorism.

    The Liberal Party of America believes that the Bush administration has manipulated the facts and that a war of aggression was instigated by this government and is illegal under the Constitution, and binding International Law. We call for an immediate cessation of hostilities and urge that this conflict be turned over to the United Nations before it evolves into an Iraqi civil war that will have been caused by United States intervention and its faulty (or consciously manipulated) intelligence. The so-called facts and premise for the war in Iraq has been repeatedly refuted by senior intelligence, diplomatic and administration officials.

    In order for the United States to avoid being seen by the rest of the world as an international criminal state, this matter must be relegated to the Security Council of the United Nations.

    The reason for this is clear. Since our incursion into Iraq, no matter which side you believe or what you may think about the morality or legality of it, it has brought that country to almost complete devastation. The crumbled infrastructure, and now the attacks on Sunnis by the Shia and vice-versa have brought the nation to ruin. The bloodshed and the tens of thousands of lives lost in this escapade now threaten to surpass even the ruinous rule of Sadaam Hussein. This is not what the people of the United States of America wanted when we sent our troops into that country. The time to stop the death and destruction is now.

    This is the policy of the Liberal Party of America and we believe that all Americans need to write to their legislators and demand that the situation in Iraq be brought to the UN Security Council immediately, to stop the needless bloodshed which tarnishes the image of our country, our core values, and daily destroys innocent life.
