3. "I appreciate the fact that you really snatched defeat out of the jaws of those who are trying to defeat us in Iraq"

4. "I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office"

5. "We’re concerned about Aids inside our White House – make no mistake about it"

6. "I’m honoured to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein"

7. "I’ve coined new words, like “misunderstanding”

8. "I recently met with the finance minister of the Palestinian Authority, was very impressed by his grasp of finances"

9. "It’s in our country’s interests to find those who would do harm to us and get them out of harm's way"

10. "One year ago today, the time for excuse-making has come to an end"

11. "I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn’t here"

12. "You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test"

13. "I don’t particularly like it when people put words in my mouth, either, by the way, unless I say it

14. "[The Taliban] have no disregard for human life"

15. "When the governor calls, I answer his phone"

16. "Those who enter the country illegally violate the law"

17. "I think we agree, the past is over"

18. "America stands for liberty, for the pursuit of happiness and for the unalienalienable right of life"

19. "My job is a decision-making job, and as a result, I make a lot of decisions"

20. "One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures"

Well he is pushing a $900 BILLION DOLLAR bill through Congress. It will instantly add almost another BILLION to our already ridiculous $11 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT. It is the single largest expansion of government in the history of governments. It will create 130 new government programs. It will increase the Federal workforce by 600,000. It is pure redistribution of wealth, pure socialism.

You don't have long to wait and see what he does. He is turning this country into pure Socialism in one fell swoop.

If you have ever heard about our Constitution, you might have heard that we are not supposed to be a Socialist country.

I, like Rush, hope he fails miserably.

It says no such thing. You should read it sometime. What it does say:

Article I, Section 8, ppg. 10:

To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations;

Also, to preclude any interpretation such as you have offered here:

Article IV, Section 3, ppg. 2:

The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to prejudice any claims of the United States, or of any particular state.
...Oh, the freedom of the day that yielded to no rule or time...

True, and I am against all of it. I am still waiting for moderates to criticize the growth of governmental socialism.

Congress never voted for the Iraq war. Congress voted for a resolution in October 2002 which unlawfully transferred to the president the decision-making power of whether to launch a first-strike invasion of Iraq. The United States Constitution vests the awesome power of deciding whether to send the nation into war solely in the United States Congress.
The whole reason the President isn't constitutionally allowed to declare war is so one man can't bring on WWIII, but the Republican Congress knew best, I guess. Whatever, it all worked out okay, except for a few thousand dead soldiers.--->JMS

Congress never voted to declare war on N. Korea, N. Vietnam, Bosnia, Grenada, or anywhere in the Middle East. They have not declared war since WWII. We have not had a "war" since 1945.

I am still waiting for a "moderate" to criticize this huge expansion of socialist government happening right now. If a "moderate" is silent about this, does that mean implicit approval?

"Moderates" don't fall for the use of the Neocon catch-word, "socialist," any more than "libertarians" do the liberal catch-words, "change," "hope," or "reality." :lol:

Actually, Joe, the jury's still out for me on the "stimulus plan."
On one hand, I think throwing vast amounts of money at the problem is stupid and simply won't work.
On the other, if it's okay to simply GIVE the banking industry the better part of a trillion, then it MUST be okay to give the public sector some cash-ola, too.
At least with the latter, we'll get some bridges fixed, some energy alternatives, some new schools, etc. With the former, we got big handfuls of nothing.

I think the best course of action would have been to jail the people who masterminded the credit crisis, allow the speculation-bubble to pop the way it should have, and live with the resulting poverty for awhile, and I'm not being sarcastic. I've lived an entire lifetime on the cheap anyway, so belt-tightening is old news to me. As long as petro prices are fair, I'll be just fine.
It's going to happen anyway, the markets always correct eventually. We need to yank off the freaking band-aid, already, and get it overwith. If a bunch of rich corporate assholes have to pump gas for awhile, well... cool.--->JMS

That sentence is what we will tell our great grand children when they ask why the country broke. Neither action was "ok" and neither are any of those actions anywhere granted in the Constitution.

Our leaders have been totally ignoring the Constitution for a long time now. That was why I was such and still strong supporter of Ron Paul. Ron asks one and one question every time he approaches a vote in Congress. Is this bill Constitutional? He happens to vote "NO" more than any other Congressman ever. Our politicians do not pay any attention to their Constitutional roles.

Johnny, why do you task me? Don't drink the Flavor-Aid...arm yourself with information.

The Iraq Resolution of 2002 was passed by a Republican House and a Democrat Senate. It specifically authorized the use of military force in accordance with the War Powers Resolution (1973). The War Powers Resolution is the standing law that dictates how the President can use military force.

Included in this specific authorization for the use of military force is a clause that allowed the President to decide when and if the authorized use of military force was necessary--it was sort of a "exhaust diplomacy 1st" clause.

Improper interpretation of this resolution is common amongst Flavor-Aid drinkers and others in opposition to the Iraq War.

Sadly, according to the modern enlightened politician, the use of military force does NOT require a formal declaration of war.
