Well, we can pretty much guarantee that we'll be killing/bombing/disrupting radical Islamic's for the rest of our lifetime and we can pretty much guarantee that there won't be a blue minded President until we are done with radical Islam.(02-19-2017, 08:37 PM)Cynic Hero Wrote:(02-19-2017, 06:50 PM)Bob Butler 54 Wrote:(02-19-2017, 02:44 PM)Cynic Hero Wrote: The boomer establishment is tyrannical: if you think Assad, for example, is a monster; why don't you selfish boomer do-gooders permit a vote on whether Assad is villain or not and allow decisions on whether to take action against him be determined by the vote of the American People.
Foreign policy by popular vote would indeed be a new thing. Lately, the president pretty much determines foreign policy with congressional approval required if force is to be used. There is currently a Republican president and a Republican congress. How is it that the blue boomers are supposed to have a major say in the matter? Other than your personal prejudice which leads you to blame blue boomers for anything you don't like, how are they involved at all?
Can you give an example of when the United States has held a vote on whether or not to go to war?
Do you have even a passing familiarity with reality?
Who said I'm Primarily against blue boomers only? No I consider the enemy to be Bourgeois Neo-Liberalism and Globalism in general of whom Hillary Clinton and John Mccain are the most prominent representatives of said value system. Trump whether you like him or hate him was right regarding his statement regarding mccains war record.
Examples of strong leadership Throughout History: (Snip)
You're still going with the Adolph Hitler / Genghis Kahn style of leadership by genocide? No thank you. So long as you are promoting genocide, I'm not agreeing with your style of leadership.
Tell me, did any of your strong leaders hold a popular vote on whether they should go to war or not?
