Both Hitler and Obama are/were Fascists, both are/were Socialists.

If the shoe fits ...

Just to prove I am a dunce at compu-tech ~~~ I hit a button and my comment went to "submit" as I was fixing to tell a funny story about the mistaken view of Terrorists.

It seems one of the bad guys (from Murfreesboro and Chowan College) was more than virtuous and more than horny before the 9/11 attack. He had mentally prepared himself according to the Terrorist Manual (not the Quran) for the pending deed of destruction of Infidels.

After the big fireball crash that destroyed so many lives on 4 commercial aircraft, he woke up in the Afterlife surrounded by Nuns. They all had angry looks and big paddles pummeling him on his rear---making it bleed already. He was in abject pain.

He yelled out to the Mother Superior, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??? I AM SUPPOSED TO BE AMONG VIRGINS GETTING MY ROCKS OFF IN ETERNAL PLEASURE . . ."

The Mother Superior answered: "My son, WE are your Virgins and you were a bad boy this morning!!! God sent you here for your reward!!!"

MEANWHILE ~~~ thousands of saints (of all faiths) floated past on their way to heaven. First, were the innocent people in the buildings and planes. Next, were all the NYPD Firemen smiling and knowing they gave their lives to save people.

Left behind were more millions to clean up / sharpen their skills and weapons to go after Osama ben Laden, the Mastermind. It only took a black President who was accused of being a Muslim by many Conservatives to take care of God's business in about 6 years!!!

AIN'T KARMA SWEET!!!!

Actually, I know much of this, so I am wary of their insipid game, and strive to better compete by us writing better, unique content.

Out of curiosity: Do you think one of our writers could be replaced by a bot.?

Ted, good work. It looks like another banner minimalist project of some great renown.

Gene, sorry about that; however, technology is kind of like math, it sometimes can become confusing for some folks.

'America is more like pre-World War II Gernmany'; You did say that.

So, does that make Amatuer Hussein more like Adolf Hitler in your mind?

It is apparent that The Amateur does not like Benjamin Netanyahu, and I promise this, Hitler would have cared for him less than even Obama.

Believe it or not, I get what you are saying - Fascists do not like Jews.

Gene, if I left posts on the upper end of the latest Articles segment based on views, then I would have to leave two of Ted's minimalist posts: one on sunsets, the other on the Mississippi Battle Flag, and yet not a peep from Ted.

Plus, our system is not set up to leave a few favored posts at the top continuously.

I could easily change my system, but I won't.

That was 3 more wasted word segments, gentlemen . . .

Stan, I spent too many years as a tinkerer and it is a habit I can't drop. But one of the last things I want to do is detract from the importance of this very serious subject about making a treaty with a country that openly expresses it's wish to destroy us and Israel.

Gene,
I like your technique of blasting the readers and then asking them to please read your post. That is a most unique sales technique.
If you will step back from your need for attention for just a moment and review the format of BCN you will see the following.
There are 3 or 4 Features articles rotating at the top.
There are 18 Latest Articles in the body of the page.
There are approximately 3 post under each heading
Government 3 post normally
Op-Ed Politics 3 post normally
Community 8 post normally
Business 3 post normally
The Region 3 post normally
The Arts 3 post normally
Living, 3 post normally
Announcements 6 post normally
These generally rotate on a regular basis.
Your obsession with positioning may be getting in the way of the impotence of you post. Notice I said impotence and not importance. I doubt that there is a sinister plot to keep your opinions hidden. Without any basis of fact, I suspect you are getting numerous views way beyond what the fluff post get.
However, in the interest of "FAIRNESS" I think it can be said that Liberals always seem to find a way to complain about arrangement of the deck chairs of theirs is not front and center.

14 comments thus far ~~~ ONLY 1 (which is most worthy by BT) concerning the legal status of Treaties. It is not 6-6-6, But it gives the Constitutional basis I did not have time to properly research with 2-2-2. THANX!

The article in Wikipedia is helpful ~~~ but shows the last SCOTUS ruling relative to it with shades of gray in the decision and no willingness to make a decision. We may get another case from this action and then see what the Court says . . .

"The President may enter the United States into treaties, but they are not effective until ratified by a two-thirds vote in the Senate.[9] In Article II however, the Constitution is not very explicit about the termination of treaties. The first abrogation of a treaty occurred in 1798, when Congress passed a law terminating a 1778 Treaty of Alliance with France.[10] In the nineteenth century, several Presidents terminated treaties after Congress passed resolutions requesting the same.[11] In 1854, however, President Franklin Pierce terminated a treaty with Denmark with the consent of the Senate alone. A Senate committee ruled that it was correct procedure for the President to terminate treaties after being authorized by the Senate alone, and not the entire Congress. President Pierce's successors, however, returned to the former procedure of obtaining authorization from both Houses. Some Presidents have claimed to themselves the exclusive power of terminating treaties. Abraham Lincoln, for instance, terminated a treaty without prior Congressional authorization, but Congress retroactively approved his decision at a later point. The first unambiguous case of a President terminating a treaty without authorization, granted prior to or after the termination, occurred when Jimmy Carter terminated a treaty with the Republic of China.[12] For the first time, judicial determination was sought, but the effort proved futile: the Supreme Court could not find a majority agreeing on any particular principle, and therefore instructed the trial court to dismiss the case."

It would appear historically Congress felt the President was worthy of leading in negotiations and there is no case where a Treaty became as important as Nuclear Arms which affect our country and the world.

Bigger bombs / harder decisions / let's just not repeat 1945 ever again over humans on this planet. This is most serious and will likely happen if we keep messing with nations which have nothing to lose. The Russian Treaty over Cuba and Arms race was resolved. Carter got progress with Beagan/Sadat Peace accord that did not get ratification in their countries --- rather both me killed by hate of their citizens who would rather fight than make peace . . .

QUESTIONS:

(1) Can we afford to keep on letting the nuclear knowledge out without most serious consequences?
(2) By the grace of God we beat the Germans to the Atomic problem's solution --- what if they had beaten us????
