The declaration of war on Mexico was different from the declaration of war on Japan. Declaring war on Japan is taking on a sumo heavyweight. Winning requires focusing the entire American economy to the purpose of defeating Japan. That's bigly dictatorial power, but without that power, victory doesn't happen.

The declaration of war on Mexico was different. Everyone knew that defeating Mexico would be easy, and that it wouldn't cost much. It would not require giving the president dictatorial power. The American JV team can beat Mexico.

The issue w

"To smite Mexico or to not smite Mexico"

"To take Texas and California, or not to"

Polk won the war fast and forced Mexico to sign a peace treaty to hand over Texas and California. This gave Congress the luxury of undeclaring war on Mexico. Polk then declared victory and handed back power to Congress. Wondering of Congress thanked Polk.

Democrats like "forever wars". A modern Democrat president would have deliberately not vanquished Mexico, and used the war as an excuse to wield presidential power.

A badass president wins and he wins fast. Obama lost in Iraq and the Taliban created a caliphate. As an American president, there is no excuse for losing. It was like Obama was coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team and he lost a game to a division 3 team. If that happens, you fire the coach.

Trump crushed the caliphate, and he crushed them fast. He crushed them so fast that the media whiffed on it. The media should go back an celebrate Trump's vanquishing of the caliphate.

Democrats use wars to be corrupt. Republicans use wars to win.

The Continental Congress is a democratic body, and it opted to appoint Washington as commander, and it gave Washington bigly power.

Washington made the most of this power and he won the war. After winning the war, Washington could have used his prestige to pull a Napoleon and declare himself dictator. Many generals coaxed him to.

After winning the war, Washington resigned the generalship and returned power to the Continental congress. The Cincinnatus Club includes Cincinnatus, Washington, and Trump.

FDR was a Democrat but regarding the war, he was Beyond Republican and Democrat. FDR used his dictatorial power to appoint generals by meritocracy, and the generals FDR appointed won the war. FDR chose the right people. Those people were mostly Republicans. Ike.

Today, Biden commands the American Military, and he fires Republicans. If a Republican military person blows the whistle on presidential corruption, Biden puts that whistleblower in eternal solitary confinement. He doesn't want anyone to hear the whistle.

Washington declined to be dictator and instead fostered a constitutional republic.
It happened. The Republic elected him president.

Washington served 2 terms, and was widely regarded as having been successful. If he had wished, he could have won a 3rd term.

Washington retired to his farm.

America honored Washington. They built a big stack of stones. The purpose of the Washington Monument s:

A) To glorify Washington
B) Stonemasons showing off
C) To erect the most bigly phallic symbol in the world
D) All of the above

In times of peace, you want democracy. You want to maximize input from plebes.

In times of war, you want a dictator. Winning wars requires a dictator. Democracies lose wars.

The Roman Republic found synergy between democracy and dictatorship. In times of peace, Rome is ruled by the Senate and by Consuls. In times of war, it's ruled by a dictator.

The Senate has vast power, it can opt to use the power to appoint a Dictator. If it wants to.

Once upon a time, invaders invaded Rome. The Senate did all they could to stop them and they failed. Rome was about to be conquered, which means that Senators won't get to be Senators anymore. They will be killed.

The Senators went to the farm of Cincinnatus and declared Cincinnatus dictator. It's for real. Cincinnatus' dictatorial power was formally endorsed by the Senate.

Cincinnatus used dictatorial power to command the army, and he crushed the invaders. Cincinnatus did not use his power to crush political enemies. He could have.

Cincinnatus won, and he won fast. Immediately after the war, he resigned the dictatorship and went back to his farm, a mere 15 days after being appointed dictator. Power returned to the Senate.

Cincinnatus cares about his farm. He doesn't care about crushing political enemies. Shame those that are obsessed with crushing political enemies.

Cincinnatus resigned the dictatorship with honor. Years later, Rome experienced another crisis and
the Senate again appointed Cincinatus dictator. Cincinnatus got the job done and then resigned.

A good republic unifies the virtues of democracy and dictatorship.

The Roman Senate had the power to appoint a dictator. It also had the power to fire a dictator.

Congress has the power to declare war, which gives the president extra power. Congress also has the power to undeclare war and take away the power.

And today illegal aliens are pouring over the boarder shedding American blood on American soil while we do nothing about it. So many of the grievances that the colonies brought against the king in the Declaration of Independence are applicable now.

Mexico got Polked bigly!
