Summary Of Congressman Bob Mcewen's Great Society
Congressman Bob McEwen uses a simple formula for defining politics; ergo, politics = integrity + economics (PIE). In regard to the question of whether it is too simplified, in my opinion, no; however, most liberals simply would not get it. McEwen breaks down the equation by defining integrity as something you can count on, being there when you need it; furthermore, he breaks integrity into two components, Morality (not doing what is wrong) and character (doing what is right). Essentially, it is not enough simply to do not what is wrong; but, you cannot do what is right if you are doing what is wrong. In regard to our recent election, HRC (Clinton) refused to accept accountability for her criminal acts; thereby, utilizing plausible deniability, thus justifying evil as good. …show more content…
The first unalienable right which is defined in The Declaration of Independence is “Life” and when nations leave God out of the equation, life is not protected. This results in dictators (e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin, Lenin, Kim ll Jong, Pol Pot) who unleash totalitarianism (e.g., genocide, mass murder, confiscation of property and human rights). Fidel Castro died today and it is interesting that many leaders, including our POTUS, is paying homage to a totalitarian dictator who murdered over 400,000 people (McEwen, 2011). Atheists, champagne socialists, and misguided millennials want to severe America’s relationship with God. The choice that many God-fearing Americans made in our recent election demonstrates that a moral majority still exists; ergo, God heard their prayers and

    Since Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, much has been done to address poverty in the United States. Over time, there have been both changes and continuities. One continuity is that politicians have kept Medicare, Medicaid, and the Education subsidies from LBJ’s plan largely intact. One change is that LBJ’s plan focused on directly providing money to those in poverty, while later plans focused on getting people jobs.…

    President Lyndon B. Johnson launched the Great Society which is a set of domestic programs in 1964–65. The main goal of this domestic program was the elimination of poverty and racial injustice. In 1965, Democratic majorities in the 89th Congress passed eighty of eighty-three major legislative proposals: an unparalleled record. By 1969, nearly all of Johnson's Great Society reform legislation had become law. Such program made footsteps on domestic program today including Obama Care. Great Society covered aid to education, attack on disease, Medicare, urban renewal, conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-scale fight against poverty, control and prevention of crime and delinquency, and the removal of obstacles to the right to…

    In the 1960 campaign, Lyndon Baines Johnson was elected Vice President for John F. Kennedy. Kennedy had always wanted Johnson to be Vice President for him from the very beginning and admitted this to the public later after the election. Sadly on November 22, 1963, Kennedy was assassinated and Johnson swore in as 36th president with the vision to build "The Great Society." However, Johnson never ran for president; therefore, there was no election. Some of Johnson's key political views would include civil rights, health care criteria, voting rights, and education.…

    In brief, the United States was not founded upon Christian principles. The Declaration of Independence expresses how unhappy the Colonies are with British rule and the separation is necessary. The Virginia Statue of Religious Freedom maintains this idea by giving the people the chance to choose their faith. The Constitution also expresses the right to freedom of religion. The United States was founded upon the principle of freedom and improving the lives of its…

    Lyndon Johnson was born the year of 1908 and grew up in central Texas. He passed away in 1973 at the age of 64. Although Johnson passed at a young age due to a sudden heart attack, he made many contributions to the United states of America. President Lyndon Johnson became the thirty sixth president after the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November twenty-second nineteen sixty three. I believe Lyndon Johnson was a good president because he made many accomplishments that benefited society that included his creation of “Great Society” ; his signing of the Civil Rights Act; his carrying out of “The War On Poverty” by signing the Economic Opportunity Act, and lastly, Lyndon Johnson said his greatest accomplishment was to secure the passage of the Voting Rights Act.…

    I think it would be helpful to remember the critical role that the separation of church and state has played in preserving not only our democracy but also our religious practice. Folks tend to forget that during our founding, it wasn’t the atheists or the civil libertarians who were the most effective champions of the First Amendment. It was the persecuted minorities, it was Baptists like John Leland who didn’t want the established churches to impose their views on folks who were getting happy out in the fields and teaching the scripture to slaves.…

    Most people don't realize the phrase "under God" wasn't included until Flag Day in 1954 60 years ago today .Fighters say/argue that church and state should be kept strictly separate as the Founding Fathers meant. The theory in the pledge argues that the United States is a Christian nation, at least 80% of Americans support the phrase. The language reflects America’s civic culture and is not a religious statement. Almost all reported text from the speech include "that the nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom.”Abraham Lincoln used the same phrase in his Gettysburg Address.…

    The pledge of allegiance has remained an important part of the American legacy and culture. It takes part in the American school system, in American sports, and in many other areas. Many say that the pledge holds a place in their hearts, where it allows them to show their pride for their country. But in this pledge there are two words that have a tendency ring in the ears of many Americans, “under god.” In a country that is proud of the separation of church and state, we leave these words in a pledge that is said everyday by millions of Americans who believe and trust the right of separation of church of state yet we fail to do this for a major component in American culture. The words “under god” hold little meaning and should not be placed in the pledge of allegiance, they should be removed permanently.…

    A national government, Locke argues, is a society “constituted only for the procuring, preserving, and advancing their own civil interests,” (Locke, 1991, p. 17). It is the job of the government to provide its citizens with execution of equal laws as well as ensuring citizens are receiving their right to possessions such as life, liberty, health, and freedom from pain of body, (Locke, 1991, p. 17). Furthermore, Locke strongly supported the notion that the government should have no say in how people choose to celebrate their own religion, for him, an integral part of a secular society is that government has not right to influence religion, and religion has no right to influence government, (Locke, 1991, p. 24). This was due to the fact that Locke felt as though supporting or not supporting a certain religion was claiming that one religion was more valid than another, which is not up to the government to decide, (Locke, 1991, p. 25). Locke goes further to explain that no one in the world, including the government, has the just power to remove peoples’ civil rights upon the pretense of religion, (Locke, 1991, p.…

    Lyndon Baines Johnson became one of the most progressive Presidents the United States has ever seen when he strongly pushed his Great Society agenda to citizens and politicians alike. After the shocking and unfortunate event that took John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s life in November of 1963, Johnson was swiftly forced into office with an inevitable crisis in Vietnam and growing concerns about the Cold War. Recent Presidents before him had always considered progressive domestic policies, but were ultimately too concerned with the Cold War and foreign issues to give any significant dedication to the cause. As Kennedy’s Vice President, Johnson always preached strong domestic policies and programs, but once he became President in November of 1963, he finally had the power to enact them. Lyndon Baines Johnson changed the political landscape of the United States during his tenure as President as he implemented his Great Society agenda and put a large emphasis on domestic issues such as the war on poverty, federal aid to specific projects, and equal rights compared to foreign issues.…

    The United States of America is the land of the free and home of the brave. Something happened to change that; the greatest nation on earth is falling. America is now the land of slaves and home of the cowardly. As history tells time and time again that nations fall when they lose focus on God. America has forsaken its Savior, King, and God by opening the door for Satan to rule and reign supreme. America took God out of politics, schools, and The Constitution. This once great country was founded on God and His word. Politicians are corrupt as well as judges; America's legal system is all screwed up. Christians cannot uphold their beliefs without facing jail time and losing their jobs. Teachers cannot even teach anything in the bible without…
