Oh, how I long for the days when liberals wailed that “the rest of the world” hated America, rather than now, when the rest of the world laughs at us.

With the vast majority of Americans opposing a strike against Syria, President Obama has requested that Congress vote on his powers as commander in chief under the Constitution. The president doesn’t need congressional approval to shoot a few missiles into Syria, nor — amazingly — has he said he’ll abide by such a vote, anyway.

Why is Congress even having a vote? This is nothing but a fig leaf to cover Obama’s own idiotic “red line” ultimatum to President Bashar al-Assad of Syria on chemical weapons. The Nobel Peace Prize winner needs to get Congress on the record so that whatever happens, the media can blame Republicans.

No Republican who thinks seriously about America’s national security interests — by which I mean to exclude John McCain and Lindsey Graham — can support Obama’s “plan” to shoot blindly into this hornet’s nest.

The Washington County Republican Party participated in the 2013 Gateway to the West Parade and held their popular Picnic in the Park immediately following the parade. The parade was not as heavily attended this year due to a cool, steady rainfall. Even though the weather was not ideal, the WCRP served hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and refreshments to over 275 people this year at the Steyer Park pavilion. 2013 Gateway photo album
