Not true.... the escalation of the Vietnam War (beyond PresidentKennedy's advisors etc) followed a joint resolution passed by Congress as requested by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
Unless we're immediately threatened, the president usually needs funding to go to war, which can only be approved by Congress.
Hmm..... I thought only Congress has the power to declare war. Wereass,the president has limited powers to declare war, and usually only when/if the USA is directly in danger w/o Congress approval..... example:
“Whereas the Imperial Government of Japan has committed unprovoked acts of war against the Government and the people of the United States of America: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the state of war between the United States and the Imperial Government of Japan which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared; and the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the Imperial Government of Japan; and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States,”
Hmmm, but wouldn't it be a special and or second joy ride if it wore a certain knee-length garment with pleats at the rear, originating in the Scottish Highlands?
Oh, man, right! Time Travel would be an ultimate rush for me. Give me H.G. Wells Time Machine! The future would hold opportunities. We can't change the past, so I wouldn't want to go back there and suffer the losses in people there again.
Interesting topic. Once, unknown to me, an ex-friend had access to my CS membership and would represent my character online a lot different than it is and she changed my body type to 'voluptuous too.' I don't have moobs.
I firmly believe and attest here today that we have a right to peruse happiness and wealth but we do not have a right to expect government to provide for us and to decide for us as suggested.
To answer your first question, if people can't afford children, then they shouldn't have them expecting others to support them. More government-provided childcare just perpetuates more of the need for government in children's lives instead of a family; two parents, husband and wife, mother and father etc. that was a good working concept before. Now, Children grow up today looking towards the government for everything, instead of parents; where's my ObamaPhone? Where's my ObamaCare, where's my HillaryChildcare, where's my HillaryEdu? How fast can a shrimp swim?
And thirdly, I would like to see our 1.2 million Active military personnel, especially those still abroad, where past wars have evidently never ended, home protecting our homeland at the borders, instead of us seeing our own young women and men continue and give the ultimate sacrifice abroad for others who care less and/or certainly do not understand that without our second amendment, the world would be a really dangerous place for everyone living.
And regarding government paid higher education in community colleges, although I was eligible for it there then, just a few years ago, it didn't work in California.
All these free programs just leads to passing more debt on to posterity, who in turn, become more reliant on federal government; which is very sad imo.
Before Mars, we need to elect a president of the USA who has lunar-vision and willing to support the industrialization of the Moon to ship valuable resources found there back to earth. Question is, will it be a woman who builds the moon, or just another man like those that built America (Vanderbuilt, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Morgan, Ford etc.)?
Did anyone catch the following statement president Obama mad in his 2015 SOTU speech?
"My only agenda for the next two years is the same as the one I’ve had since the day I swore an oath on the steps of this Capitol?—?to do what I believe is best for America. If you share the broad vision I outlined tonight, join me in the work at hand. If you disagree with parts of it, I hope you’ll at least work with me where you do agree. And I commit to every Republican here tonight that I will not only seek out your ideas, I will seek to work with you to make this country stronger."
Really!!!!,
I thought he swore an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States? Such unequivocal bloviating pompous Marxist dictatorial arrogance!
Not a mention of our 18+ trillion dollar debt, that I recall in the presidents 2015 SOTU speech, yet president Obama wants to raise taxes to make more people dependent on the federal government. what the heck.
Pretty soon we will be receiving infomercials here in the states on how great ObamaEdu will be. We just need to pass it to see what's in it. hahaha ...
