The momentum is rolling!

“The best way to avoid a fight is to be stronger than your adversary,” he said. “If you find yourself in a fight, you do everything you can to prevail, because to do otherwise will invite attack in the future.”

I'll drink to that!

“The best way to avoid a fight is to be stronger than your adversary,” he said. “If you find yourself in a fight, you do everything you can to prevail, because to do otherwise will invite attack in the future.”

Amen. What he didn't say was that obliterating your enemy with extreme prejudice virtually guarantees that nobody will seriously mess with your country for a generation or two. We had the Pax Americana from 1945 until we screwed the pooch in Vietnam.

He has common sense. Go Fred!

One thing about the GOP and conservatives within it -

if you want to support Fred for his conservativism, you must remember that it is based in his core value of FEDERALISM.

This also means that your pet laws that you want implemented at the federal level are NOT going to get Fred’s support, just like the libs’ pet laws at the federal level.

However, since 90% of all federal laws are liberal and unconstitutional, you should take this as a big win and start fighting for your pet causes at the state level.

[Logical me]

Establishing a simplified income tax form, “rebuilding” the U.S. military and saving the Social Security system are areas of importance to Thompson

You got that right.

Protecting America’s citizens ranks as Thompson’s most important issue, he said. He went on to say he has traveled the world and met with foreign leaders, even leading an advisory committee on foreign affairs after being called upon by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Ping!
