American Politics during the Obama Presidency

[QUOTE=WorldTravel69;447017]Yes, it has been a long, long time since I was in High School.

But what I learned then was part fiction. Sort of.

The law I believe says something about the Justices not taking party sides on their decisions.

How many fund raisers did Scalia attend and give money to.

He should have been kicked out. As should a few others.

So, If the Republican Senate does not confirm a pick, isn't that Obstruction of Justice?[/QUOTE]And of course we all remember how FDR's attempt/threat to pack the Supreme Court with justices of his liken

caused the court to cave and pass favorably on the Constitutionality of his schemes.

In some circles, that would be called blackmail but then he is a hero to the loony left.

One of those cases was Helvering v Davis in which Cardoza 's opinion found the Social security Act to be Constitutional as it was actuarially sound.

It wasn't and what does that have to do with it anyway?

President Obama and First Lady Michelle is in Argentina now talking with Macri and doing the tango. Hope he likes the steak and chope.

A. Because Castro doesn't golf.

Tell us what you would do if you were the President?

[QUOTE=WorldTravel69;447211]Tell us what you would do if you were the President?[/QUOTE]Good question but critics often have no answers as its so easy to be critical while providing solutions is much more tasking.

[QUOTE=WorldTravel69;447211]Tell us what you would do if you were the President?[/QUOTE]With an electorate that has been brainwashed in government schools by over 100 years of progressive nonsense,

there is no way I or any other Objectivist would be elected to any office, much less President.

If at some point in time the ideas change, possibly in a 100 years, then we would have a government that would protect individual rights as a primary.

Until then we will continue to elect people such as Obama, Trump, Clinton and Sanders.

Now if I were suddenly to become President, how could I implement the necessary changes?

Look what happened with the Contract with America, which was mild compared with what needs to be done.

In the meantime I will continue to promote Obectivism in the schools, where it will do some good.

As an executive the Donald would have Fired you.

Your not Presidential.

I wanted to make a poll, but I can not find the link to it, or did Jackson delete it?

The Poll is "How Many Of You Want Donald Trump Making All Your Life's Decisions for You As President?".

Or perhaps you prefer Queen Hillary to do that for 4 more years?

No matter how bad Trump is could he really be worse that the last 16 years?

Perhaps it's time for a total outsider, if for no other reason than the political elite on both sides are scared of him.

Some of the same scare tactics now being used against Trump were used against FDR and Reagan, yet they become two of our most revered presidents.

As I have said before, the only legitimate function of government is the protection of individual rights.

WT69 and his fascist cohorts are against this and , in fact do not even understand they are fascists (or maybe they do).

I am too busy to indulge in this dialog so further comments will be ignored.

BTW, Trump couldn't fire me as I would never work for him.

It doesn't matter where you stand on Trump, this shit is funny and a great ad.

Now that The Trumpster has managed to singlehandedly knockout 16 Professional Politicians with a shitload of experience you should just deal with it and start to wonder who his choice could be for a running mate.

Survey Says :

Condoleezza Rice.

National Security, foreign policy and a skirted wild card.

Winning Ticket!
