Have I Fallen Down the Rabbit Hole

We are bombing a leader no one knows how to spell his name, on a decision made by a man no one really knows who he is to defend a foreign policy so convoluted that we declare a man an enemy,suspect him of being behind the bombing of an aircraft then shake his hand, set up shop in his dictatorship and give him foreign aid.  I find myself(a staunch conservative with libertarian leanings) agreeing with Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader and Alan Colmes.  The only explanation I can come up with is that I've fallen down the rabbit hole.  It gets curiouser and curiouser.
Our leader(that no one really knows who he is) has a tendency to escape to South American nations every time there is a controversial decision to be made.  He was in Latin America when it was announced the controversial Clean Air Act was passed on April 17, 2009.  That piece of job killing, natural resource crippling legislation that we all loved and held dear.  You know the one where business' carbon emissions can be taxed, but there is a surprising lack of enforcement against our own wasteful government whose carbon footprint makes everyone else's look like fairy foot prints.
Now he's in Latin America whooping it up with the Brazilians when he commits our military resources to a Libyan attack without bothering to get congressional approval.
No one comprehends the expense of these operations.  Changing the theatre from Iraq to Afghanistan or even supporting a theatre can figure nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in one day of contract awards from the DOD.  The missile's, the fuel, the loss of equipment are all ongoing expenses in an engagement.  Then there are the American lives put at risk.  Always the last considered and yet the greatest potential for loss that should ever be considered and one that should be put above all others.  The immaturity of this President becomes evident when we have planes go down in Libya.  Despite the total disregard for our Constitution in skirting congress' approval, is he really prepared to accept the responsibility for the potential loss of American lives in this action?  If lives are lost he and Hillary will jointly share the responsibility for those lives, because they rushed into this action and did not consult congress.
Obama is the self proclaimed King of America.  He refuses to enforce our laws based on his and members of his administrations ideology and gambles with American lives and jobs as if they were his toys and there is no congressional leadership to force him to abide by our constitution.  Boehner seems to think all he has to do is make an attempt to curb spending and he has done all that is needed.
I find myself aligning with the likes of Kucinich, Nader and Colmes when they are the only ones demanding that this union-puppet king be brought to task for his actions. 
We have all fallen down the rabbit hole and every minute we hold our breath waiting for the next shoe to drop.  I'm tired of it.  If he cannot abide by our law then he must be impeached.  There is no other way to return to sanity or the rule of law that is our Constitution.
