An attempt to serve as the world's policeman is the ultimate big government. A move toward isolationism would be a move in the right direction. Realism is long overdue.

Isolationism is foolish and disastrous but no more or less so than injecting ourselves into wars that don’t have anything to do with us.
In the case of Afghanistan and Iraq, a decade is about 5 years too long and a result of our politically correct warfare methods.

The whole Libya fiasco is an attempt to establish the legitimacy of the UN telling sovereign nations what to do. They have cooked up this bogus idea of "responsibility to respond" when some bad actor crosses a line somewhere.
That means, if the UN so desires, they can requisition our military to run their errands for them. This time they are using NATO. But the next time it will be blue helmets all around. Obama of course thinks this is just dandy since it attacks and undermines US sovereignty.

Juan McLame is a vile Globalist meatpuppet. The US military has been fighting around the world since 1941 and what has it gotten us. I look around the country and see it sliding into a Third World pit of deprivation and despotism. Don't give me that crap about we'd been speaking German or Russian if we didn't fight all these wars. First of all this country is invulnerable to an overt foreign military take over and second I don't see much difference between our current regime and that of a Nazi or Communist one. And never mind that fact that both the Nazis and the Soviets wouldn't have lasted one day without mucho dinero from Wall St./City of London financiers.

I have learned a valuable lesson over the last 10 years.
The globalists were and are wrong.
The United States can’t even defend its own territorial integrity from foreign criminals and terrorists.
John McCain is the biggest open borders asshat there is.
Illegals are killing, robbing, raping and trafficking in drugs and people in his own state with impunity, and this old gasbag is worried about what is happening abroad.
How can the US control things in countries that despise us when we can’t even control what is happening in our own country?
John McCain needs to get his head out of the liberal utopian clouds and start to focus on what is happening in front of his face.

Not getting involved in unwinnable wars where nothing more than anti-American, Islamic lunacy will prevail is not isolationism. It is good sense. McCain is, has been, and always will be media hound and halfwit.
