right wing belief in small government yet supporting American military presence everywhere, including tens of thousands of U.S troops in each nation of Germany, Japan, S Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, and troops in over 150 nations. also the biggest nuclear and weapons of mass destruction stockpile on earth.
also a roaring protest any time that the UN even thinks about influence on "the greatest best nation that God ever gave the earth" or whatever that asshole Sean Hannity said.
also roaring protest at any other nation, besides our temporary allies like Israel, Pakistan, India, that even makes an attempt at getting nuclear weapons.
also small government belief but denial of basic personal human rights for gays.
the high percentage of right wingers that are elderly, are civil servants like police and fire, the military, and/or have kids in school, yet shout out against universal health care while they have Medicare, are paid and have benefits by a socialistic government system, and have kids in public schools.
strong war cry of Sept 11 yet showing zero remorse for killing tens of thousands of innocent foreigners.
does anyone wonder why i speak out against our elected officials?
I've never understood our compulsion to be the world's police. As you say, the right-wing Republicans talk about taking care of our own first...and how great OUR country is. I AGREEE WITH THEM!! Get out of the freaking middle east. The whole thing...get out! Use the money for homelessness, healthcare,jobs,whatever. All of these troops will not help create fundamental change, for the most part. Propaganda will tell you they're making progress. But even if they are, they're gonna go back to the same thing if & when we pull out. Sow we might as well pull out now! Get out. Stop losing lives, or killing innocent people.
ReplyDeleteagain as i've written: american empire, resource control, sphere of influence etc. our nation needs to lose our chauvanistic naivete.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ken. We've been imperialists for 200 years...we just don't admit it.
