“I will not send American boys half way across the world to do what Vietnamese boys ought to be doing themselves.”

LBJ, who then led us into one of the worst wars America’s been involved in and whose effects we’re still feeling today.

Anything Clinton signed isn’t worth the piece of paper it’s written on.

Seriously? Really? What the heck business is it of ours? Go back to toking with Reggie over the brackets.

This metrosexual thinks the military conducts “excursions”? Like a weekend trip to buy antiques? Meanwhile, Putin’s army is conducting exercises.

Well boys, I reckon this is it. Nuclear combat, toe to toe with the Rooskies. That was then, this is now: Barry doesn’t care about securing our own borders.
And after Syria, all he wants is ‘man-to-man’ combat, vacations, golf and Maui Wowee.

“Might doesn’t make right.” So, he’s admitting that Putin is mighty?”

Has any interviwer ever asked obama what he meant by “Tell Vlad I’ll have more flexibility after the election”?

“Might doesn’t make right,” Obama said.

"Now sign up for Obamacare or else".

Let's see...

Congress shall have the power to declare war. Art I, Sec 8, Clause 11 U.S. Constitution.

Obama doesn't have the final word on this. In a sense, constitutionally speaking, the POTUS is just an errand boy for Congress.

People are wringing their hands that we'll have to wait another three years before we have a POTUS who will actually defend freedom. But if we get the right people in Congress in 2014, we might not to have to wait that long.

I wonder if Congress can implement something short of declaring war on Russia, like declaring U.S. involvement in defending a country in a particular region.

Didn’t the people of Crimea guys democratically to become part of Russian Federation, or did I miss something? Where is “the crime” you speak of?

That’s why I miss my Blackberry. For instance this android phone types out Yahoo instead of Ya, Lanyards in place of Menards, and it won’t let me swear when I need to.
