AND, BTW, neither paleoPaulie nor his supporters seem to have a clue as to the constitution. I commend to you Article VI, the Supremacy clause which puts treaties on a par with the constitution itself, means that later enactments trump prior ones even if treaties are later than constitutional provisions. Since the paleobirdbrain's mythology on declarations of war being somehow necessary (apparently headed up by the words Declaration of War), see if you can guess which treaty outlawed war generally and see if you can think of a single nation that has actually "declared" war since 1945 (hint, hint!). What we do to get around that sovereignty sapping idiocy is pass resolutions authorizing the use of force, just like all the other boys and girls. The unacceptable alternative is an eighteenth century mindset that would put the USA in the posture of Gulliver in Lilliput while the nation is slain by the Islamofascisti and other love objects of paleoPaulie.
Whatever leftist googoos may have imagined in 1945 and afterwards, whatever their paleo windtunnel allies in the destruction of the USA and its people may fantasize, wars, actual wars, where our military kills our enemies and breaks their things big time (and hopefully makes those enemies pay for every cent expended in the process) are still necessary and always will be. Tokyo Rose, Axis Sally and Hanoi Jane are NOT conservatives and neither is their emulator and Islamofascist apologist paleoPaulie.
Paleopantywaists may want to turn their other collective cheek and take whatever the Islamofascisti want to dish out. PaleoPaulie (aka L. Ron Paul) and you and Sean Penn and Jane Fonda and Dennis Cuckoocinich and their gushalikes have no right to turn the cheek of patriots determined to preserve the USA.
You just keep right on buying what Giuliani is selling, and misrepresenting us, and lying about what Dr. Paul said.
After all, it’s not like Republicans need every stinkin’ vote they can get come November ‘08.
Why are you still pinging Maeve? She’s gone.
