umm...apprears you are wrong....
"No war, no death." Inncorrect, the truth is that no one knows how many deaths there were because they were all hidden. The truth is that there were very many hidden kills and assassinations. Three revolutions also took place during the cold war. In other words,
WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY DEATHS, BUT, WE KNOW THERE WERE MORE THAN 20,000!

Yes Carson would be my second choice Trump my first just because he seems to piss everybody off. Demoncrats don't seen to have any candidates as of yet.
It was also in the early 1960s that American containment policy shifted from heavy reliance on nuclear weapons to more conventional notions of warfare in pursuit of a more "flexible response" to the spread of communism. Although originally articulated by President Kennedy, it was in 1965 that President Johnson showcased the idea of flexible response when he made the initial decision to commit American combat troops to South Vietnam. American thinking had come to regard Southeast Asia as vital to its national security, and President Johnson made clear his intention to insure South Vietnam's territorial and political integrity "whatever the cost or whatever the challenge."(1) The United States ultimately fought a bloody and costly war in Vietnam that poisoned U.S. politics and wreaked havoc with its economy. The Nixon administration inherited the conflict in 1969, and although it tried to improve relations with the Soviets through detente – and even took the unprecedented step of establishing diplomatic relations with Communist China – neither development was able to bring about decisive change on the Vietnamese battlefield. The United States abandoned the fight in 1973 under the guise of a peace agreement that left South Vietnam emasculated and vulnerable.

I say it's about time we aquired a man who WASN'T a lawyer OR a damn politician.
Yet has superior intelligence.
I like Dr.Carson as well.
HE isn't concerned with LEFT /RIGHT garbage.
He would pick and intelligent CABNIET as well ,not just FRIENDS who want jobs for the mney but lack sufficeint skills to execute them.
AND CERTAINLY not social ACTIVISTS who seek ONLY division.

NOT hijacking the thread...just responding to a statement.
Trump (w/assistance and endorsement of Sen. Sessions of AL) came out with an incredibly detailed, hardhitting point by point plan on Immigration this past weekend.
The problem I have with "pro-lifers" is a lot of them rally behind wars and the military
I believe late term abortions are terrible (I think alot of people agree this no late term abortions)
the problem with this argument is that the normal Pro-Lifers believe the soul of a human is in an early fetus.

What is your definition of a "late term" abortion?
Why do you think a woman would want a late term abortion? Do you think doctors will risk their reputations and licenses to perform a risky abortion because someone is mad at her "baby daddy"?
There's so much outrage and uneducated ignorance around late term abortions, while only about 1% of all abortions performed are late term. The facts are, that fetal anomalies, which are not just detrimental for the fetus, but can be turn out to be life threatening for the mother, can't be detected before 20-22 weeks.
Almost all late term abortions are performed because the fetus has catastrophic development problems, and/or the mother's health is at risk; ie, kidney failure, high blood pressure, septic shock, etc.
