I'll take the part about not growing up to be a compliment. Thank
you for <br>
your appreciation of youthfulness. I intend to remain "spry".<br>
<br>
The Urban(a) Dictionary defines "Amerika":<br>
<blockquote>A word used to describe the worst sense of the United
States, i. e. imperialism, corruption, and the global exportation
of American culture.

<br>
The constitution is fairly clear in giving the power to declare war
(that is, use military force)<br>
exclusively to the congress, which by extension meant to give that
power solely to the people<br>
collectively rather than to vest it in a individual.<br>
<br>
It's quite clear that the power to declare war in the hands of an
individual is a king-like<br>
authority. There is something in the hearts of men that makes them
desire to be ruled<br>
over by and submit to the authority of a king. It's not limited to
the Democrats.<br>
<br>
There can be no doubt that the Congress has subverted the
constitution and given king-like<br>
powers to the executive office. The Clintons exercised this power
in Yugoslavia, the GOP <br>
greatly increased it. The Democrats didnt oppose it because that
wanted to have that<br>
king-like power of authoritarian oppression when they had the
executive orifice.<br>
<br>
It's clear what a king does, and the US is now ruled by a king.<br>
<br>
It's the power that makes the king. The fact that the amerikan king
is installed<br>
via a circenses sham that they dare to call democracy makes no
difference.<br>
<br>
Obama was an autocrat before they took over GM.<br>

The American people lick up rhetoric about American
exceptionalism like a street feist<br>
on a dropped ice-cream-cone.<br>
<br>
They really do believe that the world is out to harm them

<br>
The 2001 A U MF is unconstitutional (congress can't
"legally" over-ride the constitution <br>
and give an Amerikan King the right to declare war) but it
stands because the people<br>
like it.<br>

I am glad the FCNL is doing something.<br>

But there was a time when Quakers were movers and shakers.<br>

Obama envisions a world in which armed drone

repealing the 2001 Authorization for the Use

We’ll also answer your questions and talk
about ways you can be active with FCNL on
issues you care about.</p>
