Obviously what I had in mind was avoiding voluntary disastrously expensive quagmires in foreign countries.

Why do you want to control others and tell them and compel them to live their lives the way you want them to live? You are a hypocrite of the largest order and the model of a modern liberal man.

All three of those are happening in the USA with the liberals wink and a nod or with unstated consent. The Democrats have been subjugation the black man for years. Here in Maryland when a US Senate seat was opened a black man, former US Representative threw his hat into the ring. But, the Maryland Democrat party machine told him, the black man, to back out because they had a Democrat white man who was next in line for the US Senate seat. Free and open elections are not a desirable goal of the Democrats. What is force? Why is so much deference made to Islam in the USA? Feet washing stations at colleges. Some want to let those who are Muslim be tried under Sharia law rather than US law? Tell me you want your wife and female children running around in Burka's. Too often we are told that religion stops at the governments doorstep, except in the case of Islam. The new health care plan will fine people for not purchasing health care. And, if the fines are not paid then throw them in jail. Thus the government is making them debtors the fact that the couldn't afford to buy the health insurance in the first place results in them being imprisoned. |
