The Republicans turned Ronald Reagan into a hero and ignored IKE. RR wasn't enough of a man (or a president) to tie IKE's shoes.

It disgusts me that only 2,000 people have viewed this

@123delzotto 41000 going up.

Eisenhower was senile when he made this speech.

@123delzotto A year later, and it's only gotten to about 40,000. I'm disgusted even now.

Thank you for posting. I think investment in the military is simply a necessity. The resources channeled to the military by the US government tend to be used as tools of deterrence rather than aggression. Military funding, has in many instances improved civilian living (i.e. Radar development during WW2; the internet - ARPA research, etc). The problem arises when these tools are used for political purposes. I think the most recent examples would have to be the war in Iraq and Falklands.

@123delzotto 39,030 people have viewed it now.

@gregorybgeddings Well he didn't start any wars, he helped end potentially the most dangerous. I agree today's republicans are no where near Ike's party ideology.

@Saeyabor The Federal Reserve Act effects a consortium of privately held Jewish & associated banks called the Federal Reserve Bank. The largest shareholders of the Federal Reserve Bank are the Rothschilds of London holding 57% of the stock which is not available for public trading. You can call it whatever you want, but what it is is 9 private banks printing money and loaning it to the government at interest. But i'm sure you have an alternative to RP that will fix the economy, right?

[Saeyabor]

@cscarnage The Fed is run jointly by Presidential (executive branch... GOVERNMENT!) appointee boards of governors and representatives of private sector banks. The original purpose was to keep supply and demand fairly even. The problem now is too many of those appointees have been part of the industry they're supposed to check and balance. Ron "Supply-Side Jesus" Paul would only exacerbate that, if not do away with what control it still exerts.

@Saeyabor The Fed is at the heart of your economic problems, destroying it is not "weaking the government" because the Fed is not run by the government.

[Saeyabor]

@cscarnage You Paulbots are so far from reason you shouldn't be allowed to say the word. First of all, no President can do anything Congress won't fund, and a military drawdown will have a pricetag. Second, Ron Paul wants to weaken the gov't to further subversion by corporate feudalists, which is already happening, and cancel everything good or necessary the gov't does.

Yea, "END THE FED," and then wonder why the world implodes when there's nothing backing "federal reserve notes."
