"Borrow and spend" (the deferred version of "tax and spend" - something the Democrats like to do) will most certainly ensure a terrorist victory when the U.S. enters bankruptcy.
It's actually quite simple to cut off the Islamists at the knees: stop importing their oil. Stop sending them foreign aid (welfare checks). Stop intervening on their behalf (like in Kosovo). Stop allowing them to recruit and fundraise and proselytize here in the United States - under the cover of "diversity," of course.
Of course, that will never happen, as the "war on terror" has proved useful as cover for the establishment's real goal of "spreading democracy" at gunpoint - by the way, that was what Wilson, a full-on progressive, believed the U.S. military should be used for - or, in other words, opening up the markets of Islamic countries to Western corporate interests.
If we’re going in to clean out a rats nest, I don’t mind.
If we’re going in to help the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda I’ve got a few bones to pick with the CIC.
I agree that we should be eliminating our dependence on foreign oil ASAP.
This is going to sound simplistic, but there must be a way to power things that isn’t going to cause us to have to play patti-cake patti-cake with nations that would love to see us toes up.
We had our first oil shortages in the 1970s. Almost forty years later, and we’re right where we started. I don’t think I’m being too impatient when we’re talking about forty years.
