Yup. And Obama's the one stirring the pot now, and Hillary will be the one stirring the pot starting in 2017.

I'd like to think that Hillary will change course and the end all the wars, but she's made it clear she's going to continue Obama's policies, so presumably that means continuing the wars in Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan, and maybe going back into Libya if the Caliphate continues to gain ground there.

Cheers!

Soon Hillary will be commander in chief. She has pledged to keep Obama's wars going.


Hardly! :roll:
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

It's quite funny to see that whoever is in the house (R's or D's), they do the same things. It's just that the decisions that are made from either are always criticized by the other for political purposes.

Or maybe it is because the R's and D's are really one party, the oligarchy/corptocracy party. :-D

Or maybe running a nation state is a sobering business. Like anything else that must survive, they go with the high percentages. If the people show that they aren't willing to believe in unicorn sauce, or left-wing propaganda, or even science, then the politicians won't go there either.

R and D are NOT one party. R currently stands for anti-intellectualism, rejection of science, chauvinism, racism, and xenophobia.
