We can't fix the world's problems, and until the late middle of the 20th century, conservatives seemed to understand this.

We can't force democracy on other countries, because they don't have enough invested in it when it starts to go South.

No more American blood for people who won't give their own to defend their own country.No more nation-building for those unwilling to do their own heavy lifting.

Exactly! ...I’m not an isolasionist like the Pauls, but the US needs to stop trying to intervene in conflicts within or between other countries. We need to concentrate on protecting ourselves, because Obama has severely cut our military and border security.

I voted for him, but the so-called “compassionate conservative” Bush who pushed the “democracy building” meme and pushed for the “shamnesty” bill in ‘06-07 really helped to kick-start the major foreign policy and domestic security failures we are now experiencing.
