I am probably in disagreement with most freepers since I think we really do need to get out of these damn wars now. We are broke. Bad things happen to nations that continue to fight wars and continue to provide social services that they cannot afford. Just look at the weimar republic for an example.

Agreed, we cannot police he world, heck, we cannot police ourselves. I think we need to watch Iran though but we can do that with airpower if need be, take out their nuke factories with a B-52 strike for example. We need to get a grip of entitlements, make a list of who really needs them and take care of those and cut the rest loose. Lighten regulations and taxes to bring jobs back.

Let's face it ,we might end up in a war anyhoo, a new civil war or revolution, call it what you will. Let's face it, we are living in an 1860 nation in a 1939 world.

It makes me sick that we have a majority of sheeple that voted for that Marxist in the White House. Unless they repent and see what they have done (I do believe in redemption if it is sincere), I do not consider them Americans nor my friends and even see them as the enemy. My heart has hardened so much. If I truly wanted to say what I think of all of this, I'd be thrown off for profanity and other things.

My parents are 74 and 73, Dad and Mom, respectively, I fear for them with Obamacare. I'm 45, I fear for myself and when I see young kids, I fear for them as well. G.W. Bush had his problems and looking back, no prize, but this Kenyan Witchdoctor we have in the White Hut is the worst. Even Woodrow Wilson was better, as terrible as he was, at least he had one redeeming quality, when Pancho Villa was a problem, he did send troops to the border.

We are in a mess, folks.

We spend about 4.2% of GDP on our military. A constitutionally mandated function of the federal government.

Social spending is the problem and if not addressed it will continue to consume everything. Social spending is not mandated by the constitution. Much of it isn’t even authorized by the constitution...

I’ve written a book called “Surviving World War II” which goes into the civil war we are already in. This time it is about indentured debt slavery. www.futurnamics.com/civilwar.php

We would probably not be in these wars, if we were drilling our own oil.

By the way, did you know that Newt coined the phrase “Drill Here, Drill Now” long before Sarah did?
