Who's "we", Kemosabe? Fed.gov shouldn't be "taking care of" people; that responsibility belongs to private individuals and the civil society.
we SURE as heck don’t have the money to play ‘Regime Change’ or intervene in European games.
You're reasoning from a false premise. The job of Fed.gov is to protect and defend these United States against enemies foreign and domestic. I prefer to deal with foreign enemies before they land on our shores. Keep the "war's desolation" "over there".
That doesn't mean I favor every (or any) particular foreign war. Just that I'd rather do warmaking "over there" rather than "right here" if we have to do it.
You mentioned "AIDS education" in your post to the other guy. "AIDS education" is not part of Fed.gov's charter either here or there.
Well said except for your last point.
I think RedStateRocker was criticizing AIDS education in Africa, not supporting it.
” I prefer to deal with foreign enemies before they land on our shores. Keep the “war’s desolation” “over there”.”
False premise. One, last I checked, no invasion fleets are forming up. We face no military threat except by ICBM.
Two, running around the world engaging in wars with no purpose is not keeping the war “over there”. It CREATES people who stay awake at night trying to find ways to hurt America. And also, play with a turd, you get crap on your fingers. It doesn’t stay “over there”.
Without intervening in Somalia, Minnesota would still be a quaint and quirky nordic farming state.
Without the wars in Central America destabilizing Guatemala and El Salvador, we wouldn’t have a few million streaming in now. Before the Iraq wars, who ever met a moslem here in America?
Every single war results in a wave of undesirable immigration.
