On February 1, 2008, on 126th Street in Manhattan, the Gathering of Eagles met up with and countered the IVAW (Iraq Veterans Against the War) along with their traitorous leader, Adam Kokesh. A man who now has pretentions of sitting in the Congress of the United States. Kokesh mocks this pursuit for office by masquerading as a Republican.
Google this guy and it’s difficult to find the God’s honest truth about Kokesh and his fellow traitors. It’s an outrage! Stop this rude assault on the Congress of the United States of America.
UPDATE:

Ron Paul and son are supporting this masquerade as a” Repub” in New Mexico: “Say NO” to Adam Kokesh, “Republican”?!!!! candidate for Congress in New Mexico’s third district.
And the pictures below are from an IVAW recruitment/indoctrination event that was held at Brooklyn College…. It’s disgusting….

..
And for the curious this is the video Kokesh made with Ron Paul’s son. Take note as you watch: Adam Kokesh is the anti-American protestor from the IVAW who said that Americans murdered innocent Iraqis.
Adam Kokesh is one of the few EX-Marines you hear of sometimes. He brought back a pistol from Iraq, left it in his car, had it stolen on a college campus, was arrested for it and turned over to NCIS… busted from Sgt to Cpl and given a General under Honorable discharge.
He is running for Congress in New Mexico!
The people of New Mexico deserve better. AMERICA deserves better! Who does he think he is? John Kerry??
Go to American Patriots Against Kokesh Please join this NING group to post all information on Adam Kokesh! EVERYTHING!
The real insult is the rude assault on our civil liberties by the pampered puppets residing in luxury at our expense in the Congress. I weep for our once great Republic; at least Mr. Kokesh is attempting to bring about change to this outrageous situation.
Mr. Kokesh is the OUT RAGE and must be stopped!
Kokesh is absurd. A politician is supposed to be a stepford person in a suit who doesn’t take a position on anything until his aids research what’s most advantageous for him to think, based on which crowd of imbeciles is largest and most accessible. Kokesh needs to leave this business to the pros like Palin and Obama. I can’t believe he would attempt to reason things out and offer actual ideas based on his experience and thought. He needs to talk to people like mr. Americanvalues and realize that most Americans discover their values by inserting their heads in their posteriors.
glenn beck – with all due respect, kokesh has neither the experience, the knowledge or the temperament to “reason things out and offer actual ideas based on his experience and thought”.
he has already shown his incredibly poor judgment by aligning himself with radical leftists, communists and other assorted malcontents. he has no working knowlege of the world. he spent one toour in iraq, was booted out of the military, and then got work as a george soros supported anti-bush/anti-america/anti-military rabble rouser. he lived in a dirty communal slum apartment in washington dc.
suddenly, a little over a year later he turns up in a suit and a tie in new mexico and wants all of us to believe that he is a reasonable and thoughtful guy.
please spare me the silliness
There are plenty of other men and women who are much better bets than Mr. Kokesh to restore faith in our government.
All the warmongering has to end someday. Adam Kokesh is a Constitutional Republican, and he will do more good for the American people as a congressman than any other candidate running in 2010.
You are delusional, travlr. Been wacked in the head one time too many. Kokesh walks, quacks and looks like the Commie he is. “Constitutional Republican”….ROFL!
The only thing delusional here is: “American Patriots Against Kokesh” promoting hateful warmongering (700 military bases in 130 countries around the world), and one of those members believing that they represent “americanvalues.”
So, Travlyr, when are you going to convince the Islamofascists to stop attacking the U.S. and our allies? Or are we just supposed to sit like lambs awaiting the slaughter?
Yes we’re all sitting lambs to the slaughter. Gain perspective and cease your ignorance. IF anything it’s the other way around and it’s bankrupting this nation. Read Jefferson, Washington and Adams. Entangling alliances with none. If you’re a true fiscal conservative you don’t support nation building and running deficits and destroying the currency over petty affairs in the middle east.
DanNY – After reading yours, sassysuz, and “americanvalues” posts, going online to “thisainthell”, and watching Kokesh online, I choose Kokesh.
Kokesh comes across as a principled leader. You guys come across as ignorant hacks.
Dustin
I suggest you get a little historical perspective yourself. Washington, Jefferson and Adams were dealing with a situation where a foreign war threatened to split the young United States. So Washington, and then Adams, threaded their way very carefully to stay out of it. It has no relationship to the situation today where the United States was attacked. Almost three thousand of our citizens were killed in the most hideous fashion. Since the primary purpose of government is to protect its citizens then it is its duty to ensure that no further attacks are possible.
No, they said it because you lose your sovereignty when you have to account for actions of other nations, i.e. Israel, United Nations, etc.
Learn more about our recent history. The CIA has been overthrowing governments in the middle east since the early 50’s and installing puppet governments. In the 80’s Saddam and the Afghani “Freedom Fighters” were our friends. We provided them with the weapons and training. We then stayed and built bases on their land. We try to westernize them. We put sanctions on Iran per Israel’s request. It’s no different. If you don’t learn from history you’ll be doomed to repeat it.
Hello….DUSTIN! WHAT, pray tell, does ANY of this have to do with ADAM KOKESH. You are goi on and on with your theories of government…
but you have yet to explain Kokesh. When did he turn from commie sympathizer in to a ‘Republican”. At what point are you going to attempt
to explain away the real ….Adam Kokesh: IVAW. That man is NOT a REPUBLICAN.
AV
You need to hit the Reply on the post you are responding to, otherwise your response ends up down here in never never land…
Dustin is just going on the normal Paulie rant.
They must be incensed because their Texas candidate, Debra Medina, blew it on the Glenn Beck radio show this morning.
Dan, you’re brainwashed, it’s okay, I’m praying for you.
Mebbe, but my brainwashing was to protect and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.
And Adam Kokesh certainly fits the latter.
Listen. Adam Kokesh is only 27 years old. Do you not remember the old adage Winston Churchill said “If you’re not a liberal when you’re 25, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative by the time you’re 35, you have no brain.” He went to war, saw it was bad, came back against the war (only of which liberals were opposing under Bush) then realized you can be conservative and against the war…in fact Conservatives have a history of being the anti-war party.
Well then he must be too young and dumb to put into a position where he can do real damage then.
I agree.
I’d say you’ve demonstrated he’s already learned more true conservative values than you could in a lifetime. Stay in NY Dan, Texas doesn’t need you.
Heh, Texas isn’t big enough for me if you are any example of a Texan.
And NY is too socialist if you are an example of a Yankee. Trying to force taxation on me to pay for a wars with countries that didn’t attack us. Damn you, trying to destroy our currency by having the Federal Reserve run up deficits to have our military in a 130 countries. Liberal scum you are!
ROFLMAO!!
That was a good one, Dustin!
Liberal is not a word commonly used to describe me.
Well I definitely know you don’t know what conservative means. You probably hang around with ignorant folk just like yourself. Keep your state income taxes up there in NY along with your lack of 2nd am. rights and the rest of your socialism.
dustin
are you a 9/11 truther?
Emphatically, no!
@vanzorge No, I am not a truther, never have been.
I remember Kokesh when he brought a whole busload of members of World Can’t Wait, ANSWER, SDS, to disrupt the recruiting station at 14th & L Street in Washington, DC. They ran around in circles out in front of the recruiting station that day yelling silly slogans against our Soldiers and the War. Their antics caused about 7 members of the Metro Police to have to stand guard out in front of the station for hours. How’s that for how he disrupts the recruiters, the city and wastes our tax dollars. His big lug bully friend Jeff Millard threatened to find out where I live that day because I interrupted an interview he was giving (he referred to me and my Son as terrorists). I remember Kokesh when he tried to stage a re-enactment of the Winter Soldier testimony of the traitor John Kerry days! We disrupted both of these events and the Winter Soldier nonsense was a debacle. Adam Kokesh is a phony who reinvents himself yearly. After many of the Iraq Veterans Against the War were exposed for being phonies, he must have decided that wasn’t a good front for him anymore so now he has decided to align himself with the Repulblican party? You have got to be kidding me! Somebody needs to alert the party to do a better job vetting candidates. Adam Kokesh is a self indulgent little boy who needs to go find a commune somewhere and fool the mindless…he isn’t fooling any of us.
I sincerely doubt that all the members of the 82nd Airborne are supporting Adam Kokesh. My Son served in the 82nd and I know how he and his brothers felt about the IVAW. My Son’s comment about the IVAW was “they shouldn’t have signed up for college during a war!”
FAIL F- total shill liberal site, probably got a fucking government Grant to put this
Pop up site into play.
You obviously can’t read since this site has nothing remotely connected to
any soc/dem/commie/fascist/lib/progressive…. lunatic fringe site(if you could read, you would know this.)
But, then you would know that Kokesh is the one who All OF THE ABOVE (his very public associations and posturing verify this)and no hair cut and suit can erase who he really is. None of you “Kokesh-Paulist” followers have yet to explain how you can reconcile the real Kokesh with the fantastical ‘repub’ he is claiming to be. Why you support this man who has walked-the-walk and talked-the-talk of the” radical leftists, communists and other assorted malcontents” who, like himself, are committed to the destruction of “evil” Amerika….
At this point, when you have a total lack of logic and are relying only on ad hominem attacks, just admit that you’ve lost this debate. “Even a fool is thought wise when he keeps his mouth shut,” so unless you can posit a legitimate argument, take your name calling back to sixth grade.
We’re working on the tax issue up here, Dustin, as well as protecting our 2nd Amendment rights.
And we’re doing it all without being sucked in by lefty propaganda and left charlatans (can you spell Kokesh?) unlike some Texans.
the central issue here is the incredibly bad judgment that kokesh displayed when he aligned himself with radical leftist and communist groups.
maybe if he could get himself under control, change direction and keep his act clean for about 20 years he would be in a better position to ask people to trust his judgment.
his judgment is very poor, he is immature, he is inconsistent and he is deceptive……………. not exactly someone you would vote for
Jeez, VZ, that sounds like Obambi!!
Vanzorge, Kokesh did not align himself whatsoever with the overall ideals of these groups EXCEPT when it came to foreign policy and civil liberties- AND YOU KNOW IT yet you consistently state this.
I dare you: show me _anything_ to do with government healthcare, increased taxes, more spending for education, or any other item on the agenda of these groups OTHER THAN foreign policy and civil liberties that Kokesh believes in?
charrob
you must be a very young person. there is an old saying that, if you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.
kokesh cannot have it both ways. he made common cause with the worst of the worst and it says volumes about his judgment.
following your logic, there could have been people in nazi germany who aligned themselves with hitler – not to kill the jews, but to build some roads and schools – i am sure you get my drift.
again, it does seem that you are a very young person with little understanding of how the world really works.
that’s what i thought. When asked how Adam “aligned” himself with these organizations other than on the Constitutional issues of foreign policy and civil liberties- you have no answers. In fact, your answer is just to go back to the name-calling and smears. If you want to hold on to your unconstitutional beliefs of undeclared wars and warrantless wiretapping, I cannot stop you. Adam, however, chooses the Constitutional position.

Now don’t go and kick the dog, Dustin.
Just because you have very poor unreasoned arguments is no reason to abuse the poor animal…
Huh? You are going to lose this beautiful republic. Another bloody revolution is awaiting us thanks to neocons like yourself. It’s so sad to see how the media has brainwashed people like you. It’s all the same. Obama=warmonger, this country went down hill starting in 193…all started with Woodrow Wilson who was the worst president in our nations history.

WHO’s the NeoCon?? No one on this site….perhaps it is thou….

By definition, that’s you.
my idea of a mature, trustworthy veteran is colonel allen west.
How do you know that was why they said it?
Have you perfected the science of time travel?
As to the CIA overthrowing governments willy nilly in th emi9ddle east then I am sure you can provide a few concrete examples, yes?
Yes, Iran in 1953 when we installed the Shah: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d'état
Speechless he is. Make sure to copy and paste the entire link including the (‘etat)
Oh yeah, the one example when we acted to prevent the government falling into the hands of the communists.
Any other examples? You made it sound like we were doing this every other Tuesday.
That hardly had anything to do with communism.
http://www.emayzine.com/lectures/usmeddling.htm
You expect me to believe a Ron Paul propaganda flick? Get real. Stop drinking the Kool Aid.
You still haven’t provided any other examples.
It’s not propaganda and I did, did you not read this:
http://www.emayzine.com/lectures/usmeddling.htm
we’ve intervened in south american governments hundreds of times.
You said middle east, Dustin, and that is what I am waiting for further examples of.
You have the internet do you’re own research. Google Reagan’s Iran Contra. Google Afghanistan in the 1980’s. Google history of Iraq. Google Georgian conflict. We influence everything over there!
Dear Dustin,
You really need to calm down your paranoid fantasies. Try the red pills.
While we may have some influence, we most certainly do not influence everything. If we did then Russia would not have invaded Georgia recently.
Perhaps there are others exerting influence that we need to offset? Or is it your belief that the United States is always evil in its intentions?
Adam Kokesh is a true American Patriot that I truly respect and admire.
Kokesh is anything but a patriots… What you are claiming to be a “patriot”” is and IVAW commie-traitor worthy of no respect. You are very confused…
You guys are fools. Adam Kokesh will defend the constitution better than any neocon. Nation building is not authorized by the constitution. Read the writings of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams and the rest of our founders. They warned about having entangling alliances. Not to mention, our foreign policy is bankrupting us. If you are a true fiscal conservative like myself you would be against the military industrial complex.
Adam Kokesh will defend ANYTHING that is a soc/commie cause but get real….never the Constitution of the United States. What kool-aid have you been drinking?
Dustin,
Could you please tell me what part of the attack on the U.S. of 9/11 was about nation building?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Nothing about 9/11 has anything to do with nation building. The illegal war in Iraq has everything to do with it. Did you know not one Afghani or Iraqi was on the planes that flew into the towers? They were all Saudi’s! Why not attack Saudi Arabia? Where is Bin Laden? He’s dead. But if you want to continue to bankrupt the nation do so at your own peril. Just don’t call yourself a conservative when you act like Woodrow Wilson.
Please cite the relevant section(s) of the U.S. Code which you base your “illegal war” statement on.
Iraq did not invade us and congress did not pass a declaration of war. Only the congressional branch of government has the power to take the country to war.
Sorry, Dustin, but that does not qualify as justification for your “illegal war” remark.
If you can’t cite a section then it is not illegal.
Every time Iraq shot a missile at our aircraft patrolling the no-fly zones they were attacking the United States, an act of war. We just up and finished the job.
If you don’t support the rule of law that’s fine, just don’t call yourself a constitutionalist.
Just cite the law, Dustin, that was all I asked.
Seems like you would have us follow imaginary laws. Not a good recipe for the rational person.
What’s so hard to figure out that when you invade a country without a declaration from congress which is explicitly laid out in our constitution then it’s not LEGAL!! Hard thick is your skull??
*How thick is your skull?
It certainly seems so hard that you can’t even cite the law that was broken.
If you can’t back up your statements with fact then I suggest you eat crow and retract it.
As a Marine myself living in New Mexico, this man has my vote. While I don’t agree with him on every issue, I trust him to actually represent me and the Constitution instead of just pay lip service. And I’m not the only member of our military that believes this; if you’ll check his blog you’ll find he has the endorsement of many of the members of the 82nd Airborne. As for his demotion, even Chesty Puller said you aren’t a real Marine “until you’ve been busted down once or twice”. Adam has served in combat defending our nation, and will do so again “something I doubt “americanvalues” can say.
You trust a man who is lying is way in to office by masquerading as a Republican?? And serving in combat is not a a Free-Pass to come back to the States and then work 24/7 to betray and endanger his fellow Americans who are still serving their country….You are a fool to trust Adam Kokesh….
MarineMan7
Adam Kokesh is a liar and a fraud who betrayed every man and woman in uniform with his participation in the IVAW Winter Soldier II farce.
Kokesh values the constitution about as much as he valued the reputation of those fighting men and women.
Which is to say not at all.
I like how after I post a well thought out counterargument, the first reply is “you’re a fool”. Ad hominem attacks do not equal a legitimate argument. Furthermore, as a member of our military, it is I who will most directly have to pay the cost of any “anti-military” decisions he makes. Do you think that I take such a threat lightly?
If you disagree with Adam’s positions, that’ fine, you are free to do that. But do not disagree with them based on lies about him and ad hominem attacks on those who support him.
It’s pretty obvious the author of this blog is a pro-war fascist.
I’ve donated to Adam and will be voting for him as well.
You are very VERY confused as to who and WHAT makes a fascist….and your money is wasted on Kokesh: Commie/Traitor
What is a fascism?
George F. Will – “Arguably the most distinguished of conservative newspaper columnists…”
http://www.answers.com/topic/george-will
“Will said, ‘the Bush administration has taken government involvement in the day-to-day lives of Americans to new heights.’
“We may be witnessing the most left wing, the most liberal administration in U.S. history,” Will said. ‘This is an astonishingly interventionist administration.’ – George Will speaking about the the George W. Bush administation.”
“I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.” – Ronald Reagan
“If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.” — James Madison
Who’s the commies? The big govt, big spending, war-mongering neocons who have taken up roost in the Republican Party and have banished Reagan republicans from the premises are the REAL commies. Literally! The Neocons philosophical heritage comes straight from Leo Trotsky.
To the author of this blog and Travlyr, go read some books and quit being used as commie agitators. You have no clue whatsoever what traditional American conservatism is.
Non-interventionism is an American CONSERVATIVE position held by the Founding Fathers all the way through to Robert Taft and through World War 2 and the Korean and Vietnam wars. Why? Because they knew from history that extended wars BANKRUPT nations and replace freedom with tyranny at home.
All the wars of the 20th century were started by LIBERALS at the objection of conservatives. Until the Bushes came along and took up the banner of that great Progressive Woodrow Wilson and also the commie Leo Trotsky of “making the world safe for democracy” using the military and “worldwide democratic revolution”.
The current Republican party is dominated by big government big spending wilsonian trotskyite communists. Case closed.
What in the WORLD does your diatribe have to do with Ron Kokesh commie traitor masquerading as a Republican??
If you could read maybe you’d be able to figure it out for yourself like the big kids do. I teach 2nd grade would like to attend tomorrow?
OMG…you are a teacher (frightening)
He’s using the tired delusional meme “It’s ALL Bush’s Fault!”
My “diatribe” explains to you that the Bushes are wilsonian liberals. Papa Bush has always called himself a LIBERAL republican. Do you know why the republican party is called a “big tent”? Because after WW2 they welcomed LIBERALS.
George Will, the most credentialed CONSERVATIVE commentator alive called Bush Jr. the most LEFTIST and the most LIBERAL president in the HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. George Will called Bush Jr. a WILSONIAN. Woodrow Wilson is considered THE progressive president. “Progressive” is cutting edge ultra-LIBERAL.
Conservatives have always been for small govt, jeffersonian libertarianism and non-interventionism. The derisive term “isolationism” described CONSERVATIVES. Democrats started all wars until the liberal Bushes came along and assumed the mantle.
Adam Kokesh’s philosophies are nearly identical to Reagan’s. Reagan was a non-interventiost and used the military the least of any president in the 20th century. The NEOCONS wanted Reagan to start a real war with the Soviet Union and he told them to buzz off.
You are praising progressive liberal trotskyite commies in the republican party while calling Kokesh, whose philosophies nearly mirror Reagan’s, a commie.
You are confused and don’t know history.
😉
weebles, beautifully said. thank you.
yw
🙂
if kokesh is a libertarian, then he should run as a libertarian. it is an outrage that he is trying to pass himself off as a conservative republican.
“I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.” – RONALD REAGAN
Were you aware that Reagan was a Goldwater conservative-libertarian fusionist? Did you know that Goldwater was dubbed “Mr. Conservative” and was a libertarian? Can you name three major conservative precepts? Do you even know what a conservative is?
many of us at this site know kokesh very well – he is a community organizer/agitator.
No, David Horowitz is a commie agitator.
Just because a person goes around talking to people or canvassing doesn’t make them agitators.
Weebles,
If you think that all Kokesh has been doing is going around and talking to people then you have no clue about the jerk you are defending.
so Travlyr & charrob are 9/12 ers that’s as funny as Kokesh being a constitutional conservative. Kokesh is a tratior and liar. both you clowns can go build your socialist nervana somewhere outside the United States and Tavlyr just say no to drugs. See you can’t fool eye witnesses to Kokesh and the IVAW’s treason
Article 3, Section 3, of the United States Constitution “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. ” Tell me, does Adam Kokesh meet the definition of a traitor, or is you definition “anyone who I disagree with”?
It is more than obvious that Vietnam Vet Against The War, betrayed their Country, betrayed their Brothers are sniveling Soviet tools.
Fascist are socialist nice try with disinformation
vanzorge: Kokesh is a Conservative. He’s just not a big-government Neocon.
A Conservative “what”….just cause you say it…doesn’t make it so…Let’s get some examples from you….Can you do it? I dare you….
Yeah, he wants to balance the budget. He wants to reduce the size of government. He wants to reinstate state sovereignty, he wants to deregulate the economy and promote a true free market.
Kokesh believes in small limited govt, jeffersonian libertarianism and non-interventionism… which are the three primary attributes of American conservatism from the Founding Fathers through to the Old Right.
Neoconservatives, which came over to the Republican Party in the 1970’s after the Scoop Jackson campaign for president have a heritage in the philosophies of the pre-eminent communist Leo Trotsky and believe in big govt, big spending and warmongering… the OPPOSITE of conservatism.
The neocons in Reagan’s administration (rumsfeld, cheney, wolfowitz) continually pestered and battled Reagan to start a LIVE WAR with the Soviet Union and he told them to buzz off.
The current Republican leaders are conservative IMPOSTERS and their philosophies diametrically oppose the real conservatism of the Founding Fathers through Reagan.
What you think Kokesh believes is a product of his (new) words. What he believes is demonstrated by his past actions.
You’re falling for the same line of propaganda that got Obama elected.
-Discount his past actions and associations.
-Believe his oratory
No thanks, we’ve seen his true stripes.
charrob – at best, kokesh is a ron paul libertarian.
he is not a republican, he does not even qualify as a RINO. he is an infiltrator ( with an emphasis on the traitor).
did you know that Ron Paul had more campaign donations to his presidential campaign from the military than any other candidate combined (republican & democrat). Not just more than any other candidate, more than all of them combined. It shows you the military is for a non-interventionist foreign policy cause they are real conservatives. WAKE UP YOU SHEEP!
Dustin,
Did you take the brown acid?
Dan,
Do you always resort to cheap attacks?
Only when that is all the target merits, Dustin.
Adam Kokesh is NO conservative, definitely NOT a Republican and he’s just a low down dirty tool. He lies so much even HE doesn’t know who and what he is.
usmcdaughter1- how about you tell me exactly why Kokesh is:
a) not a conservative and
b) not a republican.
charrob,
Conservatives don’t hang out with communist front groups like ANSWER, World Can’t Wait, Code Pink, etc…
Whether his voter registration card says Republican or not is immaterial. He sold his soul to the Workers World Party.
so this all boils down to one thing: foreign policy. That’s it. These undeclared wars are creating more enemies– how would you feel if the Chinese landed on our shores, and installed military bases throughout the U.S. ? Adam would be the first in line to defend this country, and, I’d bet, so would you. But what are we called Afghani’s who do that? “Insurgents”. That would make you an insurgent.
How can you not see the wrong in our foreign policy? The blowback we are getting, and will continue to get, will destroy our country. Why are you so bent on pursing a policy that will destroy America?
Quit believing the lefty propaganda, Dustin.
The world respects us when we stand up for our principles and defend ourselves against those who attack us.
as i suspected, it seems that kokesh supporters are really transplanted paulies.
the paulies are a totally unreasonable bunch.
charrob your a fraud is why I suspended you and your asshat friends for American Patriots Against Kokesh
Ron Paul and Rand Paul are buffoons along with Kokesh, we will get them bounced next

Adam Kokesh is a self indulgent little boy who needs to go find a commune somewhere and fool the mindless…he isn’t fooling any of us.
I sincerely doubt that all the members of the 82nd Airborne are supporting Adam Kokesh. My Son served in the 82nd and I know how he and his brothers felt about the IVAW. My Son’s comment about the IVAW was “they shouldn’t have signed up for college during a war!”
Charrob,
Perhaps you could show us evidence he did not?
Seeing as we always saw him in the middle of a crowd of the moonbats we have every reason to suspect he agreed with their every ideological quirk. His association with VVAW, VFP and IVAW alone is enough to damn him in our eyes.
Kokesh has served plenty of years in Lawyer Dictated War. This war is not like WWII, its not no holds barred, and its Never been honestly declared or even voted on in Congress, which our American Law and Constitution call for.
This SITE FAILS!!!
Talk about a pop up Propaganda site!!!
I wonder who paid the person to pop this crap site up so quick- Some one in office OBVIOUSLY FEELS THREATENED.
As they should, Time is almost up for all the Shills, propagandist’s, Neocon, Jelous and heartless Liars.
Your time is short…Just like Death being inevitable, so is Liberty.
You people are so bizarre…a liitle bit of ‘knowledge’ is a very dangerous thing (as you are proving).
Where you getting this crap: Howard Zinn??
Heh, Howard Zinn is Room Temperature now.
Maybe Kokesh is looking to replace him?
IF KOKESH is a “Traitor” then whats a patriot??
He was NOT Dishonorably Discharged…
I am not Anti-War, I am Pro Honest War, in Defense.
This Government should not have our SOLDIERS HANDS TIED behind their backs.
How can soldiers hands be tied???
Why in this so called “war” do soldiers have to call their lawyers pretty much to fire a bullet today???
BECAUSE ITS NOT A REAL WAR!!!!
This war is being orchestrated by CEOS and Contractor businesses that do our soldiers LAUNDRY for God sake.
IT’s the easiest way to steal from the taxpayer.
Get a government contract.
War is hell???
Not when its a fake war. Its just profitable then.
But hey, its job creation…
When War is Nessesary it should be Balls to the Walls- Hence the term “War”.
The most important thing in this fucking stupid Mickey Mouse War- Is who’s gay and who’s straight????
Who the fuck Cares!!!
This site Is so Weak, and Fails so bad.
But hey, Its a Free Country, and your free to fail.

“It certainly seems so hard that you can’t even cite the law that was broken. [Regarding the power of Congress to declare war]
If you can’t back up your statements with fact then I suggest you eat crow and retract it.”
________________________________
Just to help him a little:
U.S. Constitution – Article 1 Section 8
The Congress shall have Power […] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
Err, how about this?
http://www.policyalmanac.org/world/archive/hgop_iraq_resolution.shtml
Congress authorized the war even if they didn’t officially call it a declaration. If Congress proposes it then it is not illegal unless the Supreme Court overturns it (which they have not).
He has failed to support his statement which is now proven false.
It seems that Congress has granted the President an authority he is not supposed to have, if I read your Constitution correctly. This is in essence a transfer of power from the legislature to the executive, witch goes directly against the supreme law of the land. If, like in this case, Congress passes a law wich gives the President the power to both “declare” war, and to direct the troops as Commander in Chief, it is by conception an arbitrary law. Your Constitution specifically places the power to declare war on the elected representatives of Congress. They have to specify a reason for why the nation needs to be taken to war, and also define what the goal is, so that you ensure against the possibility of perpetual war. In addition they have the sole power to withdraw funding if the President wages a war that goes beyond the mandate given.
So I don’t see this resolution you refer to as any proof of legality regarding the war in Iraq.
I watched your hero, Adam, as he was screaming in the face of a Gold Star mother in Kennebunkport, ME. He was incredibly disrespectful and for that single act alone I would never trust or support him. He also screamed at me about “patronizing” him when I thanked him for serving his country.
He may be saying all the “right” things now, but zebra’s don’t change their stripes and he has historically been an angry, confrontational young man.

We are posting to express our grave concerns about Adam Kokesh, who is aspiring to become the Republican nominee for US Congress from New Mexico’s 3rd district. Mr. Kokesh has an extensive, and well-documented history of affiliations with radical leftist groups. In concert with these groups he has engaged in numerous anti-America and anti-military demonstrations and protests. Moreover, Mr. Kokesh does not appear to have any personal qualifications that would recommend him for serious consideration as a candidate for the Republican Party. He has a significant history suggestive of poor character and judgment, and he has notable incidents of direct activism against Republican office holders.
Affiliations with radical leftist groups
Mr. Kokesh joined the Iraq Veterans Against War (IVAW) in February 2007, at which time he was 25 years old. The IVAW was formed by the Vietnam Veterans Against War (VVAW), the now infamous group, formed by John Kerry in 1970, and responsible for the fraudulent maligning of our Vietnam veterans at the Winter Soldier Conference in 1971. It will be recalled that John Kerry now stands exposed as having repeated false accusations from that conference, during Congressional testimony in 1971. Similar to the VVAW, the IVAW is a virulently anti-military, anti-America group. It holds the view that our country is an imperialistic and expansionistic “One World Order” government, and that our military is but a tool of this government. Further, they believe that our soldiers are little more than marauders and murderers who, in the words of John Kerry, behave “in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan”.
Mr. Kokesh was active in the IVAW from 2007 to 2009, at which time he announced his candidacy for Republican Congressman from New Mexico. There are no indications that he has revoked his affiliations with the IVAW. As an active member of the IVAW, Mr. Kokesh was involved in numerous anti-military, and by explicit extension, anti-Bush/Republican activities and actions. While executing these actions, Mr. Kokesh knowingly and gladly, made common cause with a wide array of other well-known, radical anti-America and communist groups. The list of these other groups includes, but is by no means limited to, the following:
SDS
Code Pink
A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition
United for Justice and Peace
Communist Party of America
Muslim Brotherhood
Black Panthers
In cooperation with the above-named groups and the IVAW, Mr. Kokesh: participated in multiple anti-war demonstrations in Washington DC, and other cites throughout the country; organized and incited violent demonstrations at military recruiting stations; participated in an initiative to encourage active duty soldiers to desert their military post; organized and participated in a Winter Soldier Conference 2, an effort designed to malign and undercut the moral of our soldiers who were fighting and dying on the battlefield. Even a most cursory search of the Internet will yield a plethora of documents attesting to the veracity of these assertions.
Personal character questions, and anti-Republican Party activities
Apart from his considerable radical leftist affiliations and activities, there many concerns about Mr. Kokesh’s general personal qualifications for congressman; and we have specific concerns about the appropriateness of his being considered for being a Republican congressman. Mr. Kokesh has no history of personal accomplishments or achievement, yet he does have a notable history of poor judgment and illegal behavior. Moreover, he has no history of supporting the Republican Party, and in fact has been actively unsupportive and undermining of the Party.
Mr. Kokesh’s personal accomplishments and achievements appear to be limited to his having served in the Marine Corps from 1999 until 2006, and his political activism with the IVAW from 2007 until 2009. His MC service was basically unremarkable, in terms of citations, medals, and commendations, and it was ultimately marked by a demotion in his discharge rank, from Sergeant to Corporal, and a downgrading of his discharge status from honorable to general. Mr. Kokesh’s tenure with the IVAW has been noted above and need not be repeated here.
There are no indications that Mr. Kokesh has ever maintained any private sector employment, and unless otherwise proven, it might be assumed that his ‘work’ with the IVAW was financed through contributions to that organization, finances that often originated in leftist organizations such as MoveOn.org. Other than an undergraduate degree in Psychology, there are no indications that Mr. Kokesh has achieved any academic standing that might, given his young age and his otherwise lack of general accomplishments, recommend him for serious consideration for Congress.
There are numbers of incidents in Mr. Kokesh’s personal life that suggest that he employs poor judgment, and that he has trouble coping with stress. Examples of his poor judgment include the following: he smuggled a gun home from Iraq, and then was apprehended when he bought it onto a college campus; he has incited protestors to engage in violent actions against military recruiting stations, and; he incited unrest on a college campus by hanging racist poster around the campus, and signed the posters as being a member of the college conservative Republican organization.
Given the above, it is our position that Mr. Kokesh is in no way qualified to represent the Republican Party in Congress. In fact, if his history is any indicator of his future performance, it is most likely that he will behave in a manner that is antithetical to the positions and values of the Republican Party. In our view, a Kokesh candidacy will at best, precipitate much conflict within the Republican Party, and, at worst, invite derision from outside of the party.
Like you, we are interested in maintaining the integrity of the Republican Party. We understand that this is a time when the party leadership is striving to reconcile disparate ideas within the party, and to clarify its unified voice. A Kokesh candidacy would be completely at odds with those strivings and ideals.
Sassy,
I, like Kokesh, would also work with any group, communist or otherwise, to reduce the size and scope of government. Yes that includes our military. Spending is out of control. The young people see this better than anyone. So as you cling to your medicare, the real conservatives are rising up and are saying NOOO MORE!
Pingback: Ron Paul and the Paulites at CPAC 2010 (video and pics) « the “silent” majority no more!
You idiots are completely deranged.
Not ONE of you has yet to explain how Kokesh represents the Republican Party….we’re still waiting….
He doesn’t, he represents the CONSTITUTION! You can have your Republican party of deficit spending, medicare loving, no child left behindin’, lying career politicians.
of course kokesh doesn’t represent the republican party!!
while i have my issues with the repub party, i
certainly have many more issues with kokesh .
my suggestion is that kokesh run as a 5th party candidate
@Carolyn
My suggestion to you is that your baby boomer generation had it’s chance and you’ve left our political system in shambles, so it’s time for you to get out of the way. You’ve demonstrated that you are incapable of electing true fiscally conservative republicans to congress. The youth, whose shoulders will lay the burden of debt caused by your generation’s apathy and recklessness have stood up and done what you all are incapable to do and that is support people who will not spend one penny we do not have, not vote for one penny of debt (including military spending), and will only vote the constitution. Anything else will just continue the destruction of this country.
I have a theory on why your generation has dropped the ball when it comes to preserving liberty in this country and that is your generation was the first one to be raised on television. It’s an easy medium to control and fill with propaganda and influence large amounts of people. My generation on the other hand has been raised with the internet, otherwise known as the marketplace of ideas. So please, step aside, we’ll clean up this mess you all have made.
Back to the point of this post…you think the answer to ‘preserving liberty’ lies in ADAM KOKESH??Kokesh marched with radical groups because he enjoyed their company and agreed with them(not Republicans …not conservatives) with RADICALS. The GOP/Conservatives have no use for any more counterfeit-conservative, morally deficient RINO’s. Any more you can contribute as to where the hypocrite/fraud named Adam Kokesh fits in this grand scheme of yours?
All generational conflicts aside, the fact is that the Republican party has a long tradition of bucking the norms and having diverse candidates. Adam represents this better than anyone else in this race. Furthermore, for the sake of argument, just hypothetically, let’s say Adam in fact isn’t a true Republican. He is the only one on the Republican ticket who has a chance at flipping the 15,000 Democrat votes needed to actually win in New Mexico’s 3rd District. And it’s an indisputable fact that Kokesh will be a far better Representative than Lujan is.
And let’s say he does win and you disagree with him. Most of the greatest Americans (i.e. Henry Clay) were great not because they managed to pound the other side into submission, but because they were able to compromise where they could, respectfully disagree where they couldn’t, and remain honest no matter what. Kokesh can and will do that, something no one else in this race can say.
I repeat: When Kokesh was with IVAW, he marched with the RADICAL groups International ANSWER, Code Pink, SDS and others of the far-left ilk. The IVAW (and Kokesh) have conducted campaigns to convince active-duty US military to illegally renege on their oaths of service. Kokesh illegally purchased a firearm while he was a Marine overseas and then illegally carried it onto the grounds of a US college campus. That was against the law. What part of breaking the law don’t you understand? Also, Kokesh lied about being in the college Republican Club during an anti-war action he participated in while he attended that school. You state, “…because they were able to compromise…. and remain honest no matter what. Kokesh can and will do that…”HONESTY has not been a characteristic of Kokesh to date. Adam Kokesh is seriously damaged goods and the voters of New Mexico deserve to know his FULL story. They deserve HONESTY not a FRAUD and aTRAITOR. Kokesh has no respect for America and her Constitution which will NOT “make him a better Representative”.
Firstly, please hit the “reply” button before you post, otherwise it gets confusing.
One, your entire argument is that because Kokesh worked with groups that some consider radical, he is automatically a radical, when he has repeatedly stated in interviews that he often disagreed with them as much as others. It’s faulty logic of “because x is y and y is z, x is z”.
Now, as for the gun, no one is saying he didn’t do it, but let me ask you this: was it a violent crime? Did it harm anybody? The gun was stolen out of his truck, and knowing the repercussions, Kokesh still filed a report. When he was called on to answer for his actions, he admitted them and took his punishment. All this incident shows is that Kokesh is an honest man who made a mistake, and in no way does this somehow prove that Kokesh is unfit for office. As for saying he will not be better in office, are you saying the Democrat incumbent is better than Kokesh? That would truly be non-Republican of you! And please for the love of the Constitution stop throwing around the word traitor like it’s confetti. The definition of traitor is strictly defined in the Constitution, and is the gravest of crimes in our nation. You have the right to disagree, but do not resort to false accusations of crimes.
I agree that New Mexicans deserve to know the full story, and the facts are, they have access to that. This very discussion proves that.
kokesh is currently living off of the donations he gets from his website. before that he was living off of the IVAW donations. hey – it’s a great gig if you can get it.
