Well it's the fault of the people if they elect candidates that don't want to speak. But hell what are you talking about they don't speak? They're litteraly flooding my TV screen and news reports with the democratic race for party leadership!! they do is talk talk talk!
So there you go. As leader, you divert the nation's resources to do your bidding. There are other ways though. Bill Clinton, for example, used a blowjob to divert national attention from his political agenda. Hey, whatever gets your juices flowing.
Yeah FDR acted this way to do his own bidding. What kind of personal interest FDR saw as so important to make him take such a stance?
That is why the people needs to keep them in check and that is why we have democracy. But HELL if we have stupid politicians in power like bill clinton that is because of the people. Unhappy?VOTE REPUBLICAN.
I think you have gotten my opinions wrong.
.I said flexibility, but flexibility on small matters, like for example FDR support for great britain or him freezing german assets.What was the big deal? Hitler -with stalin- was the biggest prick on earth,what the heck was wrong with supplying the UK who stood alone against fascism? If everyone jumped off a bridge would you go?
Of course war is not a matter to be taken lightly, but FDR did not go to war without the consent of the people did he?
As I said,a leader's role is to lead. The leader must
convince the people to follow him and can take actions in the direction where he thinks the people would support him and is in the good of the nation. If you ain't happy rally people against him or vote republican in the next election.
War is not a racket,it is nescessary.
