Hurricane Ike takes aim at Washington, D.C.
General Dwight D. (Ike) Eisenhower, after liberating Europe (which actually needed liberating,) was elected our 34th president. He created our Interstate highway System (now crumbling from neglect under GOP non-governance,) and the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge (now threatened by GOP endorsed oil interests.)
But perhaps most notably: President Ike Eisenhower, in a national address, warned the American people about the dangerous rise of the Military Industrial Complex... the very same Military Industrial that is now pushing for a 100 year war.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. - President Dwight D. Eisenhower
When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war. War settles nothing. - President Dwight D. Eisenhower
Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion. - President Dwight D. Eisenhower
How far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without? - President Dwight D. Eisenhower
I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity. - President Dwight D. Eisenhower
Yes - believe it or not - this guy was actually a Republican.
So if you were a hurricane named Ike...where would you track?
