On Monday, Ron Paul said the President Obama would be faced with potential impeachment due to his killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American born Al-Qaeda leader. When asked at a Manchester, N.H. town hall meeting, Texas congressman said impeachment would be “possible,” but that he wants to know more about how the administration “flouted the law.” Because al-Awlaki was American born, Paul, along with several other delegates, find Obama’s act a movement towards Tyranny. Concluding the meeting Paul’s stuck with the civil libertarians who’ve criticized the targeted killing of an American citizen without public due process. “If our lives and our liberty are our own, we ought to be able to keep the fruits of our labor,” he said.
With America in dispute over Obama, it is interesting to see our Republican candidate’s viewpoints on our current president. Ron Paul clearly demonstrated his strong dislike for Obama but also showed the world his lack of common and moral sense. Paul put himself into odds when he gave comments over foreign policy in Manchester. Paul stated “I put responsibility on the president because this is obviously a step in the wrong direction,” and the act was “disrespectful to the constitution.” Al-Qaida, one of the world’s largest terrorist organizations, should be given American constitutional rights? Yes the member was American but America has been in the War against terrorism for the past 10 years. As a human, American or not, anyone joining an organization that practices onslaught and pre-meditated murder must be considered equals. Furthermore, the executive branch has made it a priority to eliminate all forms of terrorism, especially those that attack our country. If Ron Paul is this blinded by self gain, which has also been a trait President Obama has clearly displayed, how would “change” come to our nation that so many republicans desire? With the election right around the corner, it is important to comprehend the political beliefs and personality of a candidate.
