The Possible Future of Life in America is Another FDR Who Wil Subvert Government Even More Than It is Already Subverted. The Constitution is almost relegated to history.
The ornament above my mantel that enhances the elegance of life.
I think Hillary was fired (forced to resign) as Sec. of State because of her mismanagement of the Benghazi disaster that directly led to the death of four embassy representatives including the chief diplomat. The embassy was improperly secured due to direct State Dept. failures. Obviously, government officials in the current administration don't want to accept responsibility for massive failures since that would prevent Hill's nomination. The State Dept. should only negotiate trade agreements and resolve disagreements to PREVENT war and terrorism. No US involvement in any foreign country's internal affairs and no US "bribes" to propup a dictator's military position.
From the USA's defense perspective, I think all non-critical international military bases should be closed bringing US troops home. "Internationalism" does not equate to US Empire. Today, "Internationalism" is Interventionism and Interference to continue America's WW2 hegemony. The purpose is to prevent war --- not cause war. The US should go to war if and only if attacked or if there is irrefutable evidence of imminent attack. Irrefutable evidence does not mean "manufactured" evidence like the Gulf of Tonkin. I would like to see Americans rally to a President who prevents war instead of one who makes his legacy waging war.
According to the June 2014 issue of the American Journal of Public Health, there have been 248 armed conflicts in 153 locations around the world since World War II ended. The United States launched 201 of them. During the 20th century, coinciding with the rise of U.S. hegemony, there were 190 million deaths directly and indirectly related to war, more than in the previous four centuries.
In September 2002, arguing against a U.S. attack on Iraq, I said [Dr. Ron Paul] the following on the House Floor:
No credible evidence has been produced that Iraq has or is close to having nuclear weapons. No evidence exists to show that Iraq harbors al Qaeda terrorists. Quite to the contrary, experts on this region recognize Hussein as an enemy of the al Qaeda and a foe to Islamic fundamentalism.
Sometimes war is used to stimulate the economy and improve a given president's domestic polls. The economy would BOOM if the federal government's intrusion into every aspect of life were diminshed by half, i.e. cut the government by 50%, and restore liberty!
There is an inherent tendency in all governmental power to recognize no restraints on its operation and to extend the sphere of its dominion as much as possible. To control everything, to leave no room for anything to happen of its own accord without the interference of the authorities--this is the goal for which every ruler secretly strives.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST BE DOWNSIZED TO 1787 LEVELS ! That means Departments of State, Defense, Treasury, and Justice only! Everything else must go!

Our greatest window of opportunity has opened...but it's closing quickly!
As Hillary makes her way through Iowa in her campaign van, we want to be sure Iowa voters remember her scandal-ridden past:
Being terminated as an attorney from the Watergate investigation for unethical behavior;
Her involvement in the Whitewater and Travelgate scandals during Bill Clinton's presidency in the 1990s;
The Benghazi scandal, which left four Americans dead as a result of a terrorist attack on our Embassy there; AND
An email scandal that shakes the very foundations of our representative form of government.
Make no mistake:
Hillary Clinton is the very embodiment of everything wrong with Washington.
Her sense of entitlement -- that she DESERVES to be elected President -- is absolutely appalling.
Hillary has already spent millions of dollars in an effort to remake her political image. She's hired the best marketing consultants in the business and her campaign is already wining and dining the Washington media elite in a desperate attempt to pull the wool over our eyes and tiptoe into the White House.
