Liberal "Snake Oil"
Brooke McEldowney, writer and artist in the very different comic strip, “Pibgorn,” was absolutely right when she (I think, she) wrote about the simple mechanism of not calling it war when a president decides, on his own, to send young boys into battle to support his (that president’s) whims. The Constitution clearly states that he MUST get Congressional approval to "go to war.” But to call it something else such as a “focused military action” makes it okay without it. Typical liberal circumlocution and “snake oil.” But this isn’t the only place this system is used. Liberals in our government commonly change the names of unpopular programs so as to confuse us and "dance around” the law. They do it all the time and you have to be alert to keep track of them all. (Just common sense)
