Torrance, CA | reply to Orwell1984
Re: War on Terror when the use of the euphimism "war on terror" I believe that that is what the present administration is using to "elevate" their so called war "powers". If anyone has read the constitution, there is not any mention of the president having extraordinary powers, that is what concerns me, this present administration is claiming to follow the constitution, and want judges that are strict followers that don't interpret said constitution, and then lambast them when they do. We have three branches of government, but you would think that there is only one and if you disagree with them, you must be weak on terrorism. Both houses of government have become impotent. They are/were elected to serve us ,and they need to be made aware of this fact, or they need a rude awakening.As a Vietnam vet, 2 tours of duty, I am truly disappointed for a couple of reasons. One is that how you could start a war that you can't possibly win (remember the past),and once started how could you be so unprepared for the peace? (remember the past again). I am a conservative Democrat/liberal republican, no that is not an oxy moron.I like the physcal responsibility of true conservatives, but with a touch of the true democratics compassion. I don't want any religion in politics, not even my own. This socalled war is bogus from the getgo, just as Vietnam was.I had the choice to go or not go, and chose the former, and don't regret it. It gives me a better slant on what is going on. JMT

Only half of the generations, the other half, unfortunately, will still think he was a baby killer. | |
