It was just earlier today when we mentioned that we have found a person that was as crazier Arianna Huffington, and Arianna then went on to prove her credentials. A few hours ago, she called for Vice President Joe Biden to resign in protest to President Obama “escalating” the Afghan war!

The reason that she is saying that the President is “escalating” the war, is because he approved an initial addition of 13000 troops to the front-line. For anyone who has visited this site, you would know that I am in favor of giving the generals whatever they need to finish and win the fight. I also do no mind President Obama thinking this over.

But this is not about that issue. You see, Arianna is so ideologue about her opposition to war, that she cannot even think straight. She has forgotten what the job of the Vice President is. The Vice President is not a person that dictates to the President what to do. That is not his job. He is supposed to take over the President should the President not be able to do his/her job or be the tie-breaking vote in the Senate which he presides.

Additionally, wasn’t it like yesterday when she was claiming that Vice President Dick Cheney has too much power? She used to be grumbling and ranting about it, calling it unconstitutional. But now, she is advocating that the President listen to the VP or have the VP quit?

Okay, I agree that this is nowhere as compared to the amount of power VP Cheney abused, but it is the right of the President to take the advice of his Generals over his Vice President. If VP Biden quits, it would make the President look like a clown and set the precedent for the future where there would be too much power in the hands of the VP.

With Democrats like Arianna Huffington, who needs Republicans to sink the Democrats? Doesn’t she get it that this is the best thing that could happen for the Republican party? Are all Democrats really that dumb? Maybe that is the reason why they lose elections all the time!

She also claimed that it has happened again and again in history where the subordinate would follow orders even though (s)he knew that the orders were wrong. This could be a result of my couple of years in the military, but I think that there is a reason for that. If the person below you does not do what they are told, how can a company or state function?

She mentioned her example of General Colin Powell involvement in the My Lai fiasco; but I would tell her that I would still do what I am told and I do not like the order , I would bring it up with higher command later. We should obey first, question later. Unlike Senators and Representatives who are not part of the executive branch of government, the Vice President reports directly to the President. He is the subordinate of the President.

Anybody who has no partisan support and has any brain in their skulls would know that Arainna is outright wrong! Furthermore, with her being the Rush Limbaugh of the blog world, she should know that her words could make people act crazy. She has the leverage to really spark this to life. I hope she does not do that… or in another sense I hope she does. I get to write more about her!
