Yes, on my profile page it is stated I am the epitome of conservatism.
There. Much better.
Just a smear. Being for America first mean antipathy toward Jews only to the Israel first and free Pollard crowd. Israel and America are two different countries.
I agree. Those that want him can have him. I desire nothing to do with him at all.
BINGO!
"Despite the go-ahead from his legal advisers, administration officials said the president has not ruled out seeking lawmakers' approval if he decides to attack Iraq."
Fleischer said that "in all cases, the president will consult with the Congress because Congress has an important role to play."
He did not say whether such consultation would include a congressional vote approving military action, as was done before the Gulf War in 1991.
"The president has taken the advice of many of us in Congress; he wants input from Congress," [Tom] DeLay said. "And he has said he's going to come to Congress when he decides what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. And I expect him to do that."
So why all the hype...a decision has NOT been made yet on how or when to attack, much less whether Congressional approval will be sought, regardless of what the Bush bashers in the media are SPECULATING. That's right...PURE SPECULATION.
And just in case you don't know the law, Congress passed the War Powers Act in 1973 which requires the president to consult with Congress before deploying the military in "hostilities" and to notify Congress of troop commitments within 48 hours of deployment. The president also must end military action within 60 days unless Congress declares war or grants an extension to the armed forces.
So the "how and when" factors which HAVE NOT been decided yet will play a big factor in whether Congressional approval is needed or sought. The media hype on the issue is just that...hype, speculation...what ever you want to call it, is disengenous...ever hear the saying about "ASS-U-ME"?
America is doomed until we re-define globalization to be the infiltration and neutralization of our enemies.
BUMP
Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.
George Washington's "Farewell Address"
I wonder why you never state such vitriol about the Left. It's easy to hurl epithets behind the anonymity of cyberspace, but I'm willing to wager that you wouldn't if 1,000 FReepers were in the same place at the same time.
Ronald Reagan was a Nazi? Do you have a cite for that?
Regarding your comment on Israel, does that mean you believe that the Palestinians are less entitled to a state than are the Israelis?
That's exactly right. The Palestinains are among the most corrupt people on earth now or that have ever been on earth? They train their kids to hate the subhuman jews and kill them - just like Hitler trained his Hitler Youth. Arafat's mentor was a Hitler acolyte, in fact. They send their little children out to die, then the parents celebrate their deaths! Why should an evil people such as this get anything other than the barrel of a gun?
Absolutely. BUMP
First of all, the President does not make policy based on the opinion of one individual. Secondly, Al Gonzales did NOT make the public statement...
Two senior administration officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said White House counsel Al Gonzales advised Bush earlier this month that the Constitution gives the president authority to wage war without explicit authority from Congress.
They DID NOT have the permission to make those statements or they would have come forward with their identities intact instead of hiding behind the "anonymous White House officials" cloak of secrecy. It is just a case of someone trying to muddy the waters for Bush.
Let me tell you pal - the time for containment is over. The radical mohammedans are out for American blood - your blood, my blood! Wake up and smell the coffee. It's them or us! Buchanan is right about the borders, but he is wrong about self defense. This guy doesn't have all the answers, and he most certainly has no clue about islam.
Ronald Reagan was a Nazi? Do you have a cite for that?
I've met Ronald Reagan. As a Marine during his Presidency, I thought of Ronald Reagan as a friend. Buchanan is no Ronald Reagan.
If you want to be a nationalist socialist like Buchanan, instead of a conservative like Reagan, then so be it. But please do not slander Reagan by trying to make a hack speechwriter who caused more trouble than he was worth into Ronaldus Redux.
