Have there really been more wars under democratic presidents than republican presidents? If so then isn't it ironic that the democratic party are labeled as the "peace-mongers"? How about the draft system under the democratic presidents? Wheres the connection between the draft system and the democratic and republican presidents? In the twentieth century, every war has been led by a democrat in the white house with the exception of the Persian Gulf Conflict. WWI, Wilson, WWII, Roosevelt, Korea, Truman, Vietnam, Johnson. People will say its the republicans in congress, but since 1931, the republicans have been inpower a total of 16 years, many times the democrats held a filibuster proof majority, especially during the vietnam war, at one point in the 70s, there was a 74-16 democrat majority. and even so, the president has to present it to congress and sign it into action.

Our man TJ got it right - the government that governs least, governs best. You cannot state it any more plainly, or correctly.
i just don't get how you can conclude all this is done by the Republicans alone. it's equal. is anything ever repealed? did Obama and congress undo any of these things? no. it's one smooth transition of criminality and increase of tyranny from one administration to the next.

It really is a moot point since we have only had one gov't regardless of the dummy who sat in the whitehouse.

Richard Nixon – 1969-1974 (R) Secretly expanded the Vietnam war to include Cambodia and Laos, while simultaneously calling himself a peacemaker. Ronald Reagan – 1981 – 1989 (R) Violated US and international law by selling weapons to Iran to fund the Contras in Nicaragua. Also sold weapons to Iraq to use to fight Iran. Single-handedly saved an American jelly bean company. Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 1994, but suspected of having it during his presidency, if his answers to the Iran-Contra investigation are any guideline. George H. W. Bush – 1989-1993 (R) Started a war in Panama and another in Iraq, but it wasn’t until 10 years later that his son could announce “Mission Accomplished” in Iraq. Pardoned many of the Iran-Contra conspirators. George W. Bush – 2001-2009 (R) Responding to the worst attacks on American soil, started two wars, one of which actually managed to fight the people that were tangentially related to the ones that attacked us. Bears repeating.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" O - and I just noticed they were all R's. I bet the D's list is at least close to being as depressive.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" They are actualy worse. The real bad guy is Truman. On his watch, he initiated the UN. Signed the War Powers Act and the National Security Act. All three of these deceitful entities have created all the serious grief for America, particularly the National Security Act..... it authorized the CIA, America's Archilles Tendon, which has created all this world wide chatter no matter who the President was after 1948 or shall ever be.

then there was the little Atomic Bomb rampage. To add to the misery the world had endured during WWll.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" I want to clarify something about the "War Powers Act" that I posted. Actually Truman did a good job here ... he isn't the demon that I suggest. Still the National Security Act (some 60 years later) destined America to our current state of ruin.

actually, my comments have not been in regard to West. my comments were regarding the newbies (supposedly TP candidates) who had ousted the establishment scumbags. West, from the little i've read, is another palin who i rejected the minute i learned she was an IsraelFirster. my emphasis has been all along the hope of getting some more Ron Paul like republicans. i don't see the possibility of that happening in the D party, do you?
God's own truth. End of story. Ignore Thread up next.
Truman was no better or worse than all the other leaders that have been chosen for us. But since I hardly believe that myself, I've done a token amount of research: "Fear of death is form of stasis horrors. The dead weight of time." - William S Burroughs

Then your excellent research agrees with mine: You see, this despicable creation has caused all the ruckus for America concerning foreign intrigue. If anything, the CIA has caused all of the tensions we currently deal with.... even after Tenet's reign during GWBush's office, the department was reorganized.... why?.... because they lied.

Ya' think? He'd love to ban all guns. Yeah, I'd call him "tremendously left."
In the twentieth century, every war has been led by a lefty in the white house.
"September 1950 - Truman sends the Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) Indochina to Vietnam to assist the French. The President claimed they were not sent as combat troops, but to supervise the use of $10 million worth of US military equipment to support the French in their effort to fight the Viet Minh forces"....Link
And, for the most part, everyone in the Congress and the WhiteHouse has been a "lefty" for the past 60 years.

Being a communist, you would know. And you should stop acting like the actions the U.S. have taken were done inside a political vacuum.
Spot on.

For most Americans reading the MSM one way or another, they are locked inside a dark bubble wherein the smiles of US leaders are portrayed as the truth. Look at Colin Powell (as one example) where he lied out his teeth concerning the threat of nuclear warheads in Iraq, helping to lead America into a war that really went nowhere but drain our money, create further disarray around the world and murder 100,000 Iraqis. And, of course, his overlord, GWBush fully encouraged that sort of propaganda to the world and constantly to the American People. M-I-S-S-I-O-N__A-C-C-O-M-P-L-I-S-H-E-D, my ass... other than to bring America to her knees.

Nope. For most Americans reading the MSM one way or another, they are locked inside a dark bubble wherein anti-americanism is right, and the suffering of americans is cheered on. You are an example of such bigotry towards americans.
Anti-Americanism, of course, being the refusal to worship government in the way you consider appropriate. When the government finally comes around to sending troops into American towns and cities you will be standing on the side of the road with LACUMO waving your Chinese-made American flag, ready to turn in those who do not show the proper deference to your deity.

You are an example of an idiot who equates the government with the United States.

So how has America collapsed? Was it all based on the expansion of military power around the world with the exception of guarding our own borders? Was it based upon HUGE capabilities of the government to provide for the comfort of retired government employees with guaranteed incomes? Was it about HUGE international clandestine wars that went nowhere? Was it about the graft and greed of America's so-called "intelligentsia" running the operations to keep the American publick free? Or was it all based on ignorant people that vote, like you?

I have learned that PaulCJ has a long way to go. He can't separate fact from fiction, similar to a few other posters. There is good news, though. I have thick-skin and can persist beyond a lifetime.

He is nothing more than a has-been from both FR and LP. Both are disgusting forums.... but, since he is here on 4um, he must yearn some significant perspectives other than accusing other of being a communist. I think he is tired of the same old record playing on the other forums he adores. So, you have to regard his perspective as good_news.

Housing market is about dead. Borders are not protected. D.C. government is borrowing and spending money like a gambling addict that needs a fix.
Did you vote for a shining smile within one of the two major political parties of America?
"we ought to lay off the criticism" -- Pinguinite, circa 2010-05-26 22:17:22 ET
Do you see enemies everywhere, including your closest? You are the one who tries to present the false shining smile.
Just about 120,000,000 voters during presidential election years. There is good news, however, during these "off-year elections" such as in two weeks, there are only about 60,000,000!
"we ought to lay off the criticism" -- Pinguinite, circa 2010-05-26 22:17:22 ET
So, you view voters as the enemy. You view the people as the enemy. You are worse than those politicians in D.C.

Aside from the military reorganization, the act established the National Security Council, a central place of coordination for national security policy in the executive branch, and The function of the council was to advise the president on domestic, foreign, and military policies so that they may cooperate more tightly and efficiently. Departments in the government were encouraged to voice their opinions to the council in order to make a more sound decision.
