I kind of agree with David Stockman on this. Why does the GOP think we need to be involved in war all the time?

    One more point however you did say GOP. A way out of your dilemma is say Citizens and Government. Solves everything

    'The Government and it's cronies are war addicted' is much better ditches the left right BS and places the onus squarely where it belongs. DNC whoops Socialist Party HQ.

    Since both of the halves voted for cronyism this time with a huge majority and the RINOs work for the DINOs. Thanks I like your idea. It's sounds familiar..

    You didn't criticize the right wing you specifically said GOP that is the RINO controlled right wing OF the left. One must assume because the sentence was structured that way and in that fashion. Was I supposed to think otherwise? After all your sentence was being critical of one part of socialism so I suppose I could have got confused.

    Left = Government OVER people and citizens and the GOP is nothing of not Republican In Name Only and that is DNC controlled territory.

    But it's an acceptable apology in a round about way. So I'll provide a point.

    Hard to tell the players without a score card...

    In fact two points up. -:)

    Reason, but it's unfortunately unlikely that a world-wide breakout of such will happen anytime in the near future. Reason takes effort and there are way too many people who are lazy.

    Hello, but that's the history of the world - not just the United States. It's just that as the most powerful country on the planet right now, we're going to get sucked into a lot of wars for that reason.

    And let's admit, but if all the other nations in the world adopted the principles of freedom and equality contained in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, there would be a lot more world-wide peace.

    Oh, the progressive left love a good war to distract from politics at home. Bill Clinton went to war in Bosnia to try to distract from Blue-Dress-Gate. Obama went to war in Egypt, Libya, and now Syria to try to distract from his ongoing scandals of Fast and Furious, Solyndra, IRS targeting, and many others. To say it is solely a left-right issue is nonsense.

    I have read most of the comments. I believe the socialist live here. Anyone that believes the gop is a warmonger party needs to think again. The problem is the gop needs to step into a world created by the left and Obama. The democrats and lefties screw the world up and the gop is left to clean up the mess. The worlds situation is obamas fault. History has taught us that sitting out the fight is not an option. Sooner rather than later bad things will intensify in this country. The democrats and gang will all yell its bushes fault or Reagan did this or that . Have news for you, Obama made and is responsible for all the madness going on. Own the facts please.

    Well said. Though I am not a fan of Theodore Roosevelt for his environmental activism, his foreign policy of "Speak softly and carry a big stick." is spot on.

    We must recognize that there are many who have no problems coercing others into doing what they want - both foreign and domestic. The only way to resist tyranny is to be willing and able to defend freedom.

    davidmcnab Follow the bodies...most volunteer service members, the ones who really go to fight, are not socialist/libs. They hide in the colleges.

    It depends upon how "defending our freedom" is defined. Strict isolationism is unrealistic any more given the interconnectedness of the world. Maintaining military posts on foreign soil does not necessarily mean the funds are wasted. If the posts are run correctly it can be money very well spent.

    A little bit of that is the previous dudes had not so many drones. They had friendly POWs and KIA's instead. The Congress hasn't declared war since WWII. Whose fault is that? Hey voters and citizens whose fault is that?????

    Strength is measured by support and lacking the will to victory support is lacking in purpose and justification. A good reason not to vote for left wing candidates. Be they named Cruz or Sanders.

    Which party does it the most can hardly lead us to a worthwhile starting premise. The starting premise needs to be about when military actions are justified and what the legitimate functions of a military are and are not.

    BS. We pilfer away money setting up outposts all over the world and pounding sand for no real gain in the Middle East for years and years. We have the strongest military on earth by far and yet we claim to not be secure and need to spend more and more. The only legitimate reason to go to war is to defend freedom, our freedom. Any other reason is an initiation of unjustifiable force.

    last count they have 10,000 we have about the same but we have more subs that work and the drones with JSOWS or Joint Stand off weapons systems and those can be nukes or worse yet FAE fuel air explosives and guided by satellite or other drones way high overhead...FAE are the second most powerful explosive device after nukes known to exist. they use then to clear entire minefields for example I not to worried about the russians but I wish we would move to assist the anti ISIS even more and recognize Kurdistan. Turks will fall in line even if it means losing territory and I really don't give a rats ass about Iran and Iraq south of Kurdistan. They have nothing we need especially oil and we have enough to undersell them at present. Iran gets twitchy in their underground facility...like NK collapse the mountain on top of them let Allah sort them out and blame it on their own devices malfunctioning...goes for Pakistan too.first thing get rid of their in house agent in the white house. we keep this kind around we will have backs to the wall and nothing left to use. But I like the idea of the women having to sign up for the draft. Maybe that is what's needed to get rid of that atrocious fascist piece of socialist enabling (expletive deleted) and we can get down to protecting our own borders. and interior of our country. Until then I'm staying in FNA where it's safe.

    They just playing to the crowd for votes ALWAYS what they say in these phony debates has nothing to do with what they DO once in office. IF they see problems they will change that tune fast between primaries and general election at least five times and they still won't be telling the truth.

    rose is a rose is a rose and a politician is a skunk is a skunk is a skunk. Like reporters not to be trusted.

    Demoncraps start the wars with their stupidity and the repubs have to finish them.
    Remember; WW1 and WW2 we had progressives in the WH, however...we didn't have much choice in WW2. ever since...we were fighting communism...not realizing it was already here in our own country and government. Korea and V Nam were those kind of battles, however Korea...started via black flag. Demo's screwed a victory in Nam and we've been (you know what-"ed") ever since. islam? had always been a pain, Nix/Kiss never shoulda tolled them they had oil under their tents and camels.

    I think that up to 10/15 years ago, most republican representatives got pull into these things, these black flag/swan events just like the rest of us...these days there is not many that represent us nor the interests of the country.

    Totally agree, but right now it is the GOP who want war. Not the left. It will swing the other way when the powers that be want it to.
