Thanks to the likes of de Villepin and Reid, we now not only fight Muslim fascism abroad but also defeatism at home and throughout the West. As we've stated before, we should call political opportunists such as Reid, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi precisely what they are: Traitors. In stark contrast to the words of these scoundrels, the actions of Todd Beamer and his comrades on Flight 93 live on in our nation's commitment to defeat this jihadist scourge. Just this week, the administration released its revised National Strategy for Combating Terrorism, a document that details how our actions adapt as the war
Nader has some very distinct political opinions that make him the ideal candidate for president. His most attractive ideas for change in the white house include an end to America's wars - be it the Iraq War or the War on Drugs. If Ralph Nader were president he would end the American government's
It seems as if the president gets more and more powerful as the years go by and if unchecked the president could maybe become so powerful that he would be more of a tyrant then a democratic figure for the people. America would definitely crumble if this were to happen as histories have proven with let’s say someone like Hitler. Also with the president being the Commander and Chief of the United States Military being a positive aspect, it can as well be a negative. The president could use the military to take extraordinary actions on American soil that violate civil liberties of Americans. For example, when President Bush, detained American citizens that he considered enemy combatants and authorized domestic eavesdropping on American citizens in the name of national security to find terrorists.
In his organization, Roosevelt starts his speech with very general ideas, gradually getting more specific and only after all the details are presented does he ask for war, which is the purpose of the speech. After his introduction, he goes to the specific deception of the Japanese in their attack, describing the ongoing negotiation, and the length of time that they had been planning this attack. He lists the damage the attack caused the US, the many lives lost, and damage to the
George Bush: Not a smart President, but a Heroic President all the same One of the most heroic people in the publics’ eye is George Bush the 44th president of the United States. On September the 12th after the World Trade Center had been destroyed by Muslim extremists Mr. Bush addressed the people of the United States. He looked Americans in the eyes and said that Al Qaeda may have shaken the foundations of the World Trade Center, but they have not shaken the foundations of this country. George Bush has shown his heroic nature by; leading our country to war, facing criticism, and standing firm in what he believes. After September 11th Mr. Bush took immediate action in mobilizing the United States military for the war on terror.
Our government, the one we Americans put our trust in to protect our families and friends and to guide us to be the greatest nation we can be has been ripped from its foundation. It is no longer of the people, by the people, and for the people, it is closer to shove the people, deny the people, and war the people. War is an extremely lucrative and profitable venture for our government, and I have heard it argued successfully that it is the most profitable of all the government’s endeavors. President Eisenhower even said in his farewell address to the nation that “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” We put our faith and trust into our leaders to do the right thing, to act fairly and sensibly in its relations with other nations, and we expect them to treat those citizens and ours alike with the same fairness and sensibility.
But the Bush administration was so adamant that they would not give up. They said that war was a necessity for the safety of Americans. Even when the Iraq war was fought on the basis of Iraq’s chemical weapon capacity, President Bush always addressed the Iraq war as the war on terrors. He made the people believe that the Al-Qaeda was hiding in Iraq but it has been proved to be wrong. Many believe that the Iraq war was a fatal mistake and it actually heightened terrorist activities.
Bush made terrorism, a huge deal leading to the major focus on the military. This changed the out look on peace times, being able to protect our home-front. They now believe in preventive action, in order to stop wars from starting. The rethinking our America’s allies really are, is a issues that is not a big deal. This will help my essay from a social and maybe political stand
Many of his decisions led to uproar, but one in the end set the ground for the United States as we know it today. James McPherson tries to get many points across in “As Commander-in-Chief I Have a Right to Take Any Measure Which May Best Subdue the Enemy.” It seems at times that he will go as far as calling Lincoln a man who is unconstitutional and even goes against his own morals. As his article progresses you see more of the main point that McPherson is trying to make. Early in his document, McPherson says when referring to Lincoln declaring war, “The
Bush states that “as long as our country stands people will look to the resurrection of New York City and they will say here buildings fell here we rose”. He addresses most about September 11th and relies on analogies to explain his ideas for example “we have a calling from beyond the stars to stand for freedom. This is the everlasting dream of America”. Although a lot of people disagree with his decisions and visions for America he states that “ordering Americans into battle is the hardest decision, even when it is right.” Even though G. Bush has served a second term as president is a part of the Republican Party which the way he speaks about our country and September 11th convinces me that he and his political party are most going to war instead of world peace and our environment. George Bush and bill Clinton are very different in how they served their terms as president.
