I searched Barbara Lee after Dr. Ron Paul mentioned how they disagree with economic policies, but he has talked with Miss Lee on the war issue that they agree on. Dr. Paul is my hero and I give Barbara Lee much respect on her anti war stance. My one question is in the video it states that congress vote like 450 to 1 implying that she is the one no vote. I was just wondering the validity of this because Ron Paul is the most anti war congressman and I would doubt very much that he voted Yes.
I'm watching M S N B C interview Barbara this AM & she's giving the same Dem female answers to every damn question asked of her. I voted for Obama but he's turning out no better than Bush IMHO.Talking head is asking Lee about about Obamas 57% negative rating & Lee is all positive with the same boring pat answers they all give.Funny she doesn't say anything negative re: 700 mill$ spent on Libya? Isn't Libya a 'WAR MADE EASY'? That's why O lost my vote. I was against IRAQ too. Afghanistan? Maybe
It's important that people take a step back as Lee instructed in her speech. Thanks to the Shock Doctrine, it's easy for government to pass through concepts that would typically never pass. But because people put so much trust in the government after traumatizing events, no one questions its actions. This is the fault of Lee's colleagues, the media and its consumers. Everyone needs to be more aware of how dangerous it is to simply let the government have free reign after a shocking event.
@aclark410 People also put way too much trust in the private sector. On 9/11, gold skyrocketed!! Everyone was buying gold!! It's a hedge to make money out of a disaster. Happy tears must've been coming out of Lockheed Martin's CEO eyes too.
Sure, government isn't perfect. No one is perfect. The answer is not to take away government's powers (they're run by a few corporations anyway). The answer is to put good governance into place. And we can do that by voting for more anti-war "Barbara Lees".
It seems like most of YOU, self identified patriots, are still playing the game of Left v Right.
She was the only vote against this mess that America is in now.
Well, if I am correct your Country is already given over to them, if you have accepted the Instigators that create seperation of American Nationals because if YOU accept Left v Right, you invited their control over YOU.

Barbara Lee=Racist=Black Panther=Bad for our country. She worked with Van Jones another one that has her beliefs in taking down America. These are the people whom Obama hangs with. These whack jobs are now running this country.
Please become informed about the collapses of the Twin Towers and building 7. Google "Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth." Scroll down a bit and on the left side you will see the Power Point Presentations they have created. You will see reason to support an INDEPENDENT investigation into the collapses of 911. Please Wake-Up America? Demand your Representatives support an independent investigation.
This woman is another lying racist Democrat and is a Marxist to boot. Anyone who says she is an American patriot is an idiot. This woman is far from an American patriot. Thank God she will be unelected next year. California has had enough of her red diaper doper baby ideologies.
The government would want to participate in war because through the means of war, they'd be able to secure or obtain more power. In the case of Iraq, I personally think the government made up the concern about there being nuclear weapons. They were looking for a reason to invade and possibly look out for ways to get oil. When that plan didn't work out, they didn't to use the good ol' "let's spread democracy and get rid from dictatorship" routine.
Barbara Lee is a rarity in this country. A real American patriot who wasn't afraid to vote against the unPatriot act.
Anyone who doesn't realize by now that 9/11 was an inside job, designed to hijack this country, sadly you are lost. We cannot help you, only you can help yourself.
Don't view things through the scope of the corporate mass media and what the government tells u. They lie to you every day.
"The Bigger the lie, the easier the sell" -Adolf Hitler
It is now common for strong anti-US feelings in other werstern countries. There will never be peaace without justice and your country is easily the biggest contributor to the worlds injustice. Whilst i don't support the killing of innocent civilians by terrorism you have to realise that these people aren't giving their lives for no reason. Open your eyes, do some research and i assure you, you will be shocked with what you find.
Wow, gmactera, you're right I think. We need to change a lot in this country to move toward peace and harmony with the world. This is a very selfish nation who doesn't value family like we should and I think from these roots America is going to have the hardest time finding that peace and harmony. We need balance and we are just so far off. :-(

Barbara Lee is showing everyone what a MORON she is! I am not impressed that she was opposed to the war. We should have gone to war! There has not been a terror attack on our soil since 911. That is no accident. We took the fight to the terrorists. We are fighting them on their soil. You people are imbeciles!
go watch any documentary on 9/11 ... learn the truth first about how it was proven many many times to be an inside jobs... learn all the facts.. then u can blame all the imaginary terrorists for it
Are you kidding me?!!! You are so gullable. You'll believe anything won't you. You probably believe the moon landing was staged too, don't you? UFO's? Little green men? Ghosts? You probably go to a psychic for advice don't you? Get outta here! Lame...so Lame....no credibility!
if you're so stubborn to understand and believe REAL facts then ur incredibly stupid.. im not as blind to see actual facts given out .. u can't discredit actual proof!!
I've seen some of those videos and a lot of them have nothing to do with facts but ramble on saying "America wouldn't do that to itself" "Why would people on our side do that to us".
Whilst not believing in the whole 911 conspiracy, I strongly disagree with your comment. Terrorism can not be defeated through force, it can only be defeated through addressing the causes of it (ie your government's foreign policy). The war in Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism and in the murdering of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians your country has successfully sowed the seeds for more and more terrorists in the years to come.
I was talking to my American friend yesterday and telling him how I can't believe the nation's government has made so many unwise decisions. He pointed out to me that there are always oppositions, how ever small. Babara Lee, I salute you.
That was an eloquent, clear headed speech. I wish there were more politicians such as Barbara Lee in the U.S instead the hasty actions committed in those dark days never brought about anything that bore any fruit, only misery. The implications from that vote have created the situation which the USA finds itself in today!
Military action against afghanistan & Iraq was already in the works before 9/11. 9/11 was the shock therapy necessary to force the issue with so little dissent.
Dissent is the most American of activities. (jefferson)
While I think it's admirable that she desires restraint before response, in the case of Afghanistand I think the military option was well exercised. It was Iraq that wasn't justified, and in that, we certainly became "the evil we deplore."
neither war was justified. the offical 911 story is a complete lie, including most of what you saw on TV that day. research it see September clues series via live video channel socialservice, watch all his videos. and bsregistration.
Google "architects and engineers for 911 truth". Watch their technically detailed video proof on how the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down by planned explosive demolition.
reddog223, have you gone to the website "Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth? Have you read the per review scientific reports that the Thermite found in the dust was Nano-Thermite, able to be created only by the most technilogically savvy labs...not in a cave in Afghanistan?
I'd bet that you haven't read any of this information. Please, do yourself a favor and go through their PowerPoint presentation and you will certainly see reason to disbelieve the official story.
Reddog, short time span explains exactly why it was explosives. Never before in history has a steel framed building collapsed due to fire. Historically, destruction by fire is slow with large visible deformations, melting due to long burn times and large pieces falling off. Instead, with both towers and building 7 we saw total dismemberment of the steel frame at nearly free fall speed, indicating no resistance between floors. That can only happen with explosives.There is no other explanation.
reddog 223, That was the "pancake theory." NIST, National Institute of Standards and Technology, the government agency performing on of the gov investigations printed in their report that the pancake theory was false. Why? There were no floors stacked at the bottom of the pile (pancakes). Instead there were millions of cubic feet of dust. Their investigation ended at the start of the collapse.
How old are you reddog223? Are you still in high school? You may not have studied physics yet....
Please reddog, go to "Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth" and watch their power point presentations. Scoll down a bit, and you will find them on the left side of their page. All of your questions will be answered.
peacerebel, I hate to point out that you said, "what an amazing, intelleigent woman" rather than "what an amazing, intelligent person!" While she is a woman, indeed, she is one of the greatest leaders in our nation, MAN OR WOMAN. Peace
Barbara Lee...A true hero if there ever was one. Why do we not hear her voice now? I find it to be rather sad that we'd rather hear more war mongering insane rhetoric than the words of peace.
I rememebr watching her with tears in my eyes, dreaming that more of those close minded fear-controlled cronies would listen. And ya know what? Theyre stillnot listening. DOESN'T ANYONE SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING??
OMG--what courage. Talk about not giving up your seat on the bus--this woman is a giant among heroins.
I'm ashamed I have not heard of her lone vote till now. She should run as Ron Paul's vice president on the independent ticket. I'm lily white and would cast a vote for her on those words alone.
Just when you give up on government--someone turns your dreams back forward.
What unnerving foreshadowing. God bless Barbara Lee for her courage, both in making this statement, and enduring the threats, racism, and criticism which followed. She is a leader.
