History Forum / General / British History / July 2008Energy In The Executive -- Essential To Good Government
"Energy in the executive is a leading character in the definition of good government. It is essential to the protection of the community against foreign attacks; it is not less essential to the steady administration of the laws; to the protection of property against those irregular and high-handed combinations which sometimes interrupt the ordinary course of justice; to the security of liberty against the enterprises and assaults of ambition, of faction, and of anarchy." -- Alexander Hamilton (Federalist No. 69, 14 March 1788) Reference: Hamilton, Federalist No. 69. >"Energy in the executive is a leading character in the definition >of good government.

Look what happens when you get a lazy sh.t in there who doesn't do his homework. Peter Skelton > >"Energy in the executive is a leading character in the definition > >of good government.

Actually he did not work you over pretty good. He did his homework, and, being an amoral pragmatist, generally came down on the side of a workable policy. Because he couldn't keep his d*k where it belonged, a bunch of nuts in congress and the senate (who's main motivation proved to be jealousy) clogged the works with idiot blather and posturing. F*k all got done, except for the essentials, for eight years and the country ran well. Now we've had eight years of a lazy twit who does not do the facts, and choses on a warped moral basis without regard to either them or practicallity. He's had the strongest congressional and press (although his supporters like to whine about it) support in the last fity years, so he's been able to implement his desires be they an unwinnable, unnecessary war or selling houses to people who have neither the financial means to pay for them, nor the understanding to evaluate the situation they are putting themselves into. The country is in a cesspool and digging hard. The uneducated guy is you. Peter Skelton . > Actually he did not work you over pretty good.

Absolutely most people, except the few remaining GW Bush supporters, are just so over Clinton, the latter of whom will continue to be scapegoated for Bush's messes by same GWB supporters. And while most of the world is so OVER Clinton's bl.wj.b, the damage wreaked by GWB will take years - nay, decades - to repair. - nilita, who hears there are some real bargains down in the US these days .... >> > > >"Energy in the executive is a leading character in the definition >> > > >of good government.

By electing him twice and making him the most popular president in recent history? Nice work. Two bad he couldn't run for a third term, so you could have postponed getting rid of him for another four years. Thanks for electing Bush twice, running up the deficits while cutting taxes to the rich, deficit spending, proving supply side economics doesn't work twice. Engaging us in two unwinnable wars with people as crazy as the American religious right ( the Taliban are openly trying cases publicly in their non democratic courts ). And last but not least 4.00 gas. Thanks moron. Rotflmao > "Energy in the executive is a leading character in the definition Energy in corrupt stupid people does not lead to good results in anything. A good President is one who deals with problems rather than energetically deepening them, or creating new ones, and if there are no problems, then he's got nothing to be energetic about. |
