As a conservative, I have long found it perplexing that to a large extent the American Right has been defined by its enthusiasm for going to war virtually anywhere, for virtually any reason and often for no good reason.

That is the biggest bunch of Ron Paul garbage I have ever read.

We conservatives, especially those of us who saw war, do not have "an enthusiasm for war," but we understand freedom isn't free and what it costs to have freedom, ours and others.

What all too many "anti-war" left or right fail to realize is that as you protest, hinder and undermine our efforts, you prolong it, instead of supporting get in and get it done.

If you have forgotten September 11, 2001 and why we engaged in Afghanistan, I pity you all and wonder who you will seek to keep you free in the future.

Even more pitiful is seeing left-leaning libertarians masquerading as conservatives.

Mullah Omar hates your health care, and he greatly wants to institute the cap and trade policy to save you and the polar bears.

Why, then, after eight years, are we still there? And why was our southern border left open all during the Bush years and why is it yet open to this day? No, it was never REALLY about our security, it was and is about reshaping the mid east to OUR liking, something that won’t happen in a MILLION years, let alone our lifetimes. Get our folks home NOW, so we can prepare for what we have to do HERE.

It is NOT a conservative value to have our young people all over the world as they are now. It never has been.
