Although, I haven’t Been Right since the AF retired the last of the F4G model “Wild Weasels” from Nellis and Red Flag exercises. A flight of Phantoms plugging in Burner is a joy to hear!

“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

It’s not party-partial. George Bush and Dick Cheney expanded these “powers” presumably for national security reasons. Now Obama and his minions have the same power. It was wrong, wrong, wrong when the Republicans initiated it. And it’s just as wrong now.

“So, you don’t object to dictatorial powers? You only object to who might become the self-appointed dictator?”

First try learning what the difference is between a dictator and a commander-in-chief acting within the framework of the Constitution.

And if he was not acting within that framework, why wasn’t he brought up on impeachment charges – afterall democrats have controlled both houses during his last two years.

So long as I get paid enough, I don’t have a big problem with it, having been a Conscripted Killer for LBJ/Tricky Dick for much less than minimum wage.

Forty years later, I can STILL fire EXPERT with the M-14 and M-60, and field strip an re-assemble both blindfolded. Really, really fast.

I need help getting up from PRONE position, but I’m hell on wheels when horizontal.

I just want my M-Fourteen!”

Aug 27 PDB….

We continue in cycles of revenge meant to undo the policies of each previous administration instead of uniting under a core set of principles.

Until we can temporarily set aside divisive political issues to focus on restoring the basic role of government and restoring individual liberties, we’re doomed to repeat these damaging cycles.

The far left and the far right who seek to implement their collective will upon everyone else through government legislation are destroying this nation.

The founding fathers never intended majority rule.

I am now having the exact same problem with my Liberal friends regarding this expansion of the powers of the Treasury.

They claim that it’s okay, because bambi will use those powers to save the country.

I keep telling them that i don’t agree, but that even if I did, IT DOESN’T MATTER, because they are granting those powers to ANY president in the future, and they should be very very afraid of that.

Once the People give power away, because they like or trust the guy currently in office, they ned to understand that they have given it away – no matter if your worst nightmare takes office.

It is really hard to get past the partisan bullshit and make people see that. We the People need to defend our Constitution for the long term, even if doing so might hurt our particular party in the short term.

Obama? Like I have said…he is just off the charts. It’s not even up for discussion to call him the “President” because he has designated himself something far more powerful than the powers this country bestows on our leaders. Bush never did this. You have to remember that he just signed the bills, not wrote them. Someone was agreeing with him, somewhere. In the meantime, the hard left brought us Obama. Now we are going down hill faster than we can even watch. I blame them. Period. It’s one thing to have Kerry, Gore, Clinton, whatever. But this is the end of America. The Dems will go down in history as destroying us. Nice legacy to have. I hope that if there is one plot of land left to rebuild this country on that there is no such thing as the DNC.

The justification of both presidents was if they could stop attacks on many innocent people they would do what’s neccessary.

Feel free to agree or not. When it comes to torture the fact that people constantly frame it as an argument against conservatives or Republicans or Bush does nothing to address the real issues.
