You are so right about libs. They have no core values.

I am REALLY tired of sending our troops into foreign countries with no serious aim or purpose.

I don’t want to do it anymore. Nothing changes. Look at the Korean war. Someone said North Korean people are in such starvation, they eat grass.

I feel sorry for the innocent people in backward, primitive societies, but there is nothing we can achieve for them by sending troops. Nothing by sending food or money, either as their corrupt leaders manage to grab it before it gets to the people.

We need to protect ourselves and it can best be done by intelligence efforts and by bombing.

With regard to the middle east, they have three things: a horrible religion, oil and sand. We need to stop buying their oil and use our own.

I think if we are unwilling to use our best weapons against an enemy nation, then we have no business trying to make some hopeless version of post-modern “war” against them.

This idea of “humanitarian war” is perverse and gets our own people killed in exchange for little or no meaningful return on the investment.

Am I saying nuke them or forget it? Yes. That’s what I’m saying.

Yes, and no.

They, the libs, have perfected the technique of using "core values" to splinter their opposition into fragments, thereby diluting the available votes for any one person. Thinking people give more or less weight to ideas they believe in, which differ from one to another. Libs attempt to magnify the differences, and use them to splinter their opposition, to dilute it.

This is how they win with seemingly stupid, unsupportable candidates time after time. They throw out all the "core values" as bait.

Regards their actual core values, yes they have one. It is to push socialism and Marxism to the extreme, in any way possible, down the middle, around the sides, over the top or underneath. Whatever and whichever way they can advance the implementation. in that they are united, and formidable, without unity opposing them.

Libs argue about winning, cons argue about core values.

Not disagreeing with having core values. Without them, we merely sway in the breeze. However, it is also important to have a seat at the table, where policy is decided.

Perhaps focusing more on similarities and political goals, and less on individual differences, which end up pushing a former ally over the cliff because their church is a different address, or they don't walk as high on the water.
