Executive Orders are used to set certain government pay raises; make resolutions regarding certain events; and to direct the lowering of flags to half staff for a certain period, like when a former President bites the dust.

Ah, that makes sense.

Thanks.

Nothing says patriotism like wanting to kill outsiders.

Or like watching in a comfortable living room on footage from CNN about the glorious victory that some other kids won for us.

Hey, yhwh.  Why don't you do what you did in the old days?  You know, when you wanted to punish a king you killed a whole shitload of his followers.  Think what you could do at a Drumpf rally with all those pasty old white assholes with high blood pressure and bad cholesterol.

Think it over, man.

Here's some from Clinton in 2000.  http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/executive...it=DISPLAY

Here are the ones by Obama in 2016.
http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/executive...it=DISPLAY

The site has all of them from Adams to Obama.  Just select the year and click "display".  

The site is a great source for learning about American history and what the Presidents did to address various issues.  When you want to know the origin and truth about an issue without the BS you can find it at that site.  You will also see that American policy is fairly consistent no matter who is President.

FDR set American foreign policy regarding bringing democracy to the Arabs in 1943.

Bush should have been thrown out on his fucking ear.

His decision was no doubt one of the worst in American history, but I cannot help but think of the military leadership. In 41, von Rundstedt lost his job as commander, Army Group South, for telling Hitler to get bent. Why was it that only one general officer in our forces had the spine to resign his commission rather than carry out an illegal order?

As much as the decision was and is Shrub's responsibility I firmly believe that the military leadership showed cowardice in following such bullshit orders.

They all should have been thrown out. Every last swinging dick who bought his promotion with the blood of his own men.

Tomorrow when I'm back on my computer instead of this tablet I'll send you an excerpt from And Then All Hell Broke Loose.

It is actually worse than you imply.
