I hate name
calling; however, I hate traitors more. A nation is a representation of multiples
and multitudes of opinions. However, that hardly guarantees the undermining of leadership
and US Presidency by any constituent group of the multiples and multitudes.
What forty-seven Republican senators did last week, does not only deviate from
over two centuries of tradition in foreign policy making and international law
dynamics; it creates amazement in international arena and justifiable made a laughing
stock of the group of forty-seven Republicans who thought they understood US
Constitution and their responsibilities and obligations as senators; but failed
to realize there are limitations.
Thank
goodness, this is America. I know and visited a couple of countries in Europe, Asia
and Latin America, where if this had taken place, these senators will be
history. Interestingly, the leader of the pack claim to have a law degree from
Harvard University. Is Harvard Law now breading traitors and international law
hoodlums, illiterate senators without decorum of what constitutes differences
of opinions or disagreements, from disloyalty to the union? In case any of these
forty-seven is reading this piece, please read the US Logan Act and interpret what
it means and what your recent signature to that unfortunate letter constitutes.
President
Obama has not only been obstructed by the Republican House, we now have a bunch
of primitive senators living in an information age, behaving badly in an international
arena with respect to foreign policy as
if they were in the Stone Age. If it had to take a couple of Islamic Republic
of Iran leaders to chastise the disloyalty of these senators to their
government and the crudity parlance of their action in international law, then
America truly has problems: A problem with Republican leadership and ability to
govern. Factor out the continued obstructionism of Republicans since the
swearing-in of President Obama, Republicans have now constituted themselves to
a group of outlaws, whose only focus is to derail, abuse power and fail their
oath of office. The forty-seven Republican Senators have done harm, grave harm
to this nation; and there must be a price to pay.
In a world
where the German Foreign Commissioner for Human Rights, Policy and Humanitarian
Aid, Christop Strässer, and Deutschland Parliamentary State Secretary, Thomas
Silberhorn, are focusing attention on Disaster risk curtailment on the global
scale, forty-seven upper chamber of US Congressmen are working to embarrass and
insult the office of US Presidency. In a
world where the fear of advances by terrorist groups are challenging the
existence of some nations across the globe, a State Republican Senator from
Maine, Micheal Willette, is linking the President of United States and his
family members to the most dreaded Islamic State Group, ISS? As an American, I am speechless.
Nothing more to say about the prolifically racist and bigoted outlaws
parading themselves as lawmakers in America!
Tom Cotton,
who once questioned the value of the Internet as a teaching tool in the
classroom, wrote up a treasonable felony statement for forty-six other US
Senators to sign, including former 2008 Presidential Candidate, Senator McCain,
and none of them questioned the dexterity, relevance and interpretation from independent
observers and governments across the globe? Yes, there is something wrong
around American government and until voters fix this, by cleaning house in 2016
general election, we will continue to suffer the humiliation of a few wrong
heads in the Republican Party, who hardly understand that the world is changing
and everyone around, is watching.
US foreign
policy and leadership include working to write rules for the twenty-first century world’s
economy where it is much easier for: 1) America to sell goods and services to
the ninety-fifth percent of world’s consumers who live outside the United
States; 2) encouraging countries who will like to sell their goods on America
market signing unto the Trans-pacific Partnership, including enforceable rules
and regulations regarding minimum wage, maximum work hours and workplace
safety; 3) engaging foreign countries and government to sign-on to enforceable commitment
to protect oceans, forests and endangered wildlife; and, 4) advancing American
export objectives of small business to help create more middle-class wage
income to help alleviate the widening gap between the rich and poor in America.
This is global leadership that brings on American interest. An interest that
Tom Cotton, an uninformed and half-educated lawyer from Harvard law, is attempting
to jeopardize.
Mr. Cotton, Harvard-educated lawyer from Arkansas, this nation is far greater than your myopic, uninformed and self-deprecating piece that you heralded some very naïve,
probably well-meaning Republican senators on realm of party loyalty to sign,
without understanding the implications! You are only 38; hopefully, with more experience of years on earth, you will understand the implications of what you
have just done. The good news is, age is on your side!
