  • I believe Dwight Eisenhower was our last real President, and if we had any chance as a nation to fix the problems that were coming, it would have been w/ him, soon as he left office, the forces swept in, you can see that with the death of JFK, (the president who followed Ike)

  • @SumNJFella He certainly was the last one to have a clear view of the bigger picture. I'm not American but I do wish to see you guys do well and I hope one day you will have the chance to vote a man with Eisenhower's wisdom into office. He would probably have every difficulty possible and a whole lot of people trying to sabotage him, but it is not impossible.

  • "War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many'

  • @TheHappydead Well said. I love that quote. Chillingly true.

  • USA...

    The U.S. Constitution is pure genius...

    Read it...and learn from it.

  • Too bad GWBush decided not to listen

    to our 1st president " Beware of foriegn

    entanglements". GW is So full of shit,

    saying that Washington was his favorite

    president, did want to listen to all of his record.

  • the us constitution was pure genius?? the american colonist as well as contemporary american citizens would never have found the constitution acceptable without the bill of rights. in your words, "gotta read dude..."

  • i believe you are thinking of george washington's farewell speech in which he warned of the dangers of a large standing army during peacetime...this was NOT included as part of the constitution..

  • Maybe the fact that STANDING ARMIES WILL DESTROY A REPUBLIC? (again, the US was NEVER a democracy, but a republic).

    Gotta read dude.
