1] borders--it is more than just border security, it is national sovereignty. If Bush wants the 15 million illegal aliens to stay, then the requirements should include (a) no welfare or immediate deportation, and (b) have to take classes to learn the English language and (c) have to take classes on American history and (d) for those in the right age group, mandatory 2-yar service into the military. For the borders, build the wall and put armed Army troops guarding our border(s).
2] Syria and Iran--you can fight a war in other ways than troops fighting common foot soldiers and thugs. You wage FINANCIAL warfare and political warfare. You cut off charity. You cut off charity to any nation that gives aid to Syria or Iran. You cut off indirect charity (e.g. IMF funding and World Bank funding). You use air attacks and make progessively more damagiing attacks against each nation and after each daily raid, demand an end to the building of IEDs and the funneling of thugs into Iraq and all other acts of war or the next day's raid will be worse--and then carry out the threat.
One definition of war is: A concerted effort or campaign to combat or put an end to something considered injurious
Bush is not waging war against two nations waging war against us--Syria and Iran.
3] stratospheric social welfare spending ...................... simple. You stop all increases in these programs or keep the increase to the rate of inflation and you end many of the overlapping programs. You take back the funding to the year 2000 level before Bush started these massive 100 and 200% plus increases for these programs.
There is a LOT that can be done. Bush is doing none of it.
All of your ideas are GREAT...and I would vote for you in a second....but, in order for YOU to get those things accomplished...
We would have to elect a whole new Congres...because all of those things are legislated...which means, unless he has to VETO everybill...(which is what is might take, I agree)...you wouldn't get it done..
I hear from conservative Congresscritters that when the immigration reform comes to them....it will be on par with the fight over abortion..it will be so politically charged.
It should be fun....let's you and I watch together...okay??
Thanks for the post..
