Not one thing which you say you quote from their web site is untrue. Also I find all of it conforming to traditional conservatism. Attacking another nation which has not threatened our own is not my definition of conservatism. The Republican party will not likely get my vote for president in 2008, especially with the lackluster crop of candidates they have displayed so far.

Then by your definition of declaring War, we never should have gone against Nazi Germany or Afghanistan, because even though they threatened our National Security and way of life, technically they didn't attack us.

Something else the should be clarified, conservatism had nothing to do with us going to War and it is wrong of you to associate it in that way.

I think for your own peace of mind you should move over the DU forum as others on this thread.
Much of what I have seen on this thread is no different than the DU.

Panama threatens us? If we don't attack them, how do we recover the canal?

Under no circumstances should we have unilaterally surrendered our military base rights in Panama. The sovereign right of the United States to the United States territory of the Canal Zone has been jeopardized by treaties between the United States and Panama. Inasmuch as the United States bought both the sovereignty and the grant ownership of the ten-mile-wide Canal Zone, we propose that the government of the United States restore and protect its sovereign right and exclusive jurisdiction of the Canal Zone in perpetuity, and renegotiate the treaties with Panama by which the ownership of the canal was surrendered to Panama.
