John Derbyshire is right and the Paleos and dead wrong. The United States is the richest most powerful nation in the world. Not because we sought to be but because of the liberties our constitution grants. Because we are so big we will have enemies. The paleos want us to take counsel of our fears and never offend anyone. Never take any action in the world that anybody wouldn't like. Bull****! We are a free republic and have the God given right to help any nation we consider our friend. The paleos on this thread would have us cower behind rocks while the barbarians run rampant over our friends and neighbors. NEVER!!! As a free people we will stand with the other free people in the world, particularly our friends in the UK and Israel against the barbarism of these bast***s who did this.
We are a free republic and have the God given right to help any nation we consider our friend.Oh how I agree with this. However, maybe you need to consider reminding others of our REPUBLIC and admonish them for desiring to go about
Exporting Democracy!
As a free people we will stand with the other free people in the world, particularly our friends in the UK and Israel...Again, no problems with this. Some of the recipients of US financial assistance for the last few years have not gone to nations that I would consider "friends" though. It wasn't my call though, no matter what I told my elected representatives.
A budget problem? No problem! Don't give aid to all of these myriad nations again unless they are "friends".
I wonder what a few months have made...
