Patriot Act, NDAA, and Obama signing an internet bill even worse than SOPA. People try to protest and are being arrested even when most are peaceful in nature. Are we not allowed the rights to assemble and petition anymore? Oh right, with NDAA we don't really have any rights... It is pretty obvious that our government cares more about bankers and other global elite than they ever cared about us. Also, thinking that the US is "too big to fail" is pretty naive. Look back at history too all the great empires over time and you can see that they all fail because they try to spread their empire over too many places. With over 900 bases around the world I think it is safe to say the US will follow suit. Why do we have to police the world? Let everyone handle their own problems while we take care of our own... At least Ron Paul genuinely cares for the American people and respects the constitution. He wants to end all of these "endless" wars and only go to war the proper way; then win it and go home. He wants to cut 1 trillion year one (real cuts), gradually eliminate the federal reserve and go back to a gold standard, reduce taxes down to as far as he can, and so on and so forth... Why does he receive 70% of military donations? Why is the main stream media ignoring him? Why does Ron Paul never get any time to speak in debates? Why are all these caucuses and primaries riddled with voter fraud in every state? Ron Paul don't want to turn America into China; such a statement is ridiculous. He wants to limit the primary role of the federal government to only protecting its citizens rights. The States can handle almost everything else and do a better job at it. States have to have a balanced budget while the Fed can just keep printing more money... If everyone did a little research the choice would be obvious. If not Ron Paul, then who? |
"Win and go home" is an impossibly naive way to look at war, and few wars in modern American history have been conducted that way, and those that were with fairly bad consequences (like how we didn't contribute to Post WWI-Europe. America likely could have been the moderating force against endless punishments on Germany, alleviating the problems in that country somewhat and preventing the rise of Hitler).
Countries that you need to fight wars against are criminals like any other. Punishment will simply lead to an angry person who is disconnected from society. Rehabilitation is needed with countries as it is with people. If you don't want a bad country to be a problem again, your options are either genocide or an extensive re-development effort. Otherwise you'll just keep fighting the same country every 20-30 years, as a new angry generation replaces the generation that got their asses kicked in the last war (again, think WWI-WWII Germany)
