    We have two Houses of Congress. The President is the Commander-in-Chief. Congress can't force a President to fight a war. Stay to things you know a little something about.

    You don't have any facts we need to face.

    The ruling class is ruining America. A good definition:

    In the process of globalization, Western civilization is promoting the worldwide domination of a ruling class whose only claim to legitimacy resides in its abstract manipulations (logico-symbolic) of the signs and values of the system already in place. Aspiring to uninterrupted growth of capital and to the permanent reign of social engineering, this New Class provides the manpower for the media, large national and multinational firms, and international organizations. This New Class produces and reproduces everywhere the same type of person: cold-blooded specialists, rationality detached from day to day realities. It also engenders abstract individualism, utilitarian beliefs, a superficial humanitarianism, indifference to history, an obvious lack of culture, isolation from the real world, the sacrifice of the real to the virtual, an inclination to corruption, nepotism and to buying votes. All of this fits in with the tactic of mergers and the globalization of worldwide domination. The further that those in power distance themselves from the average citizen, the less they feel the need to justify their decisions. The more a society offers its citizens impersonal tasks to do, the less that society is open to workers of real quality; the less the private domain encroaches on the public domain, the less are individual achievements recognized and acknowledged by the public; the more one is obliged to―fulfil a function,‖ the less one is able to ―play a role.‖ The New Class depersonalizes the leadership of Western societies and even lessens their sense of responsibility.

    Actually, the Congress can pass a bill that will override a president’s veto. So the question is valid and still stands.
    “Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

    It is sufficient to know that you are not.

    Do try to master punctuation. Pay attention! There is no space between a word's final letter and the punctuation mark that follows it. An ellipsis is three dots, like this "..." to represent omitted words. The ellipsis is not intended to be used as a replacement for a period at the end of a sentence.
    Did you have to work on being condescending or is it all natural , : talent .?! Has anyone ever discussed the psychological origins of such behavior with you?

    It is a talent.

    Only imbeciles have this level of difficulty in mastering so simple a task. Why are you unable?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Do you agree Putin is a weasel-faced, tin-plated dictator who has a penchant for little boys, @PJL?

    It's my honest opinion that Putin is the only leader holding the world together .......he's brought stability back to Syria and will likely bring stability back to Libya and then most of the middle east . The leaders of the middle east country's trust and respect Putin . He is a great believer in the integrity of sovereign nations . America is no longer the leader of the free world - it's starting to become the opposite , in fact.
