I’m more of a fan of “Peace through Stark Terror,” myself.

They feel that “Peace through limp d*cks” is far superior.

Intellect is not a friend of liberals.

Nor is math, for that matter.

2 + 2 = 4 may be old hat, but it solves problems.

“Old hat” is no disqualifier.

simplistic

Wow. They’re resurrecting the old “simplistic” argument from the Reagan years. Haven’t heard this in a long time.

It didn’t work then, ain’t gonna work now.

What they never understood, is that simplistic means pretty much what it says. A simple, no frills, un-nuanced solution to a basic problem.

Flournoy called “the attempt to divide nations into ‘friend-or-foe’ categories as a basis for guiding our international relationships is simplistic.

Well how is Obama’s kissing the muslims ass working for us?

Peace through idiocy and dereliction of duty isn't working.

Si vis pacem para bellum - “If you wish for peace, prepare for war” Book 3 of Latin author Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus’s tract De Re Militari (4th- or 5th-century)

It is not new and has been a succesful strategy for centuries.

There’s a lot of Wilsonian nonsense on both sides. Leftists are caught up in seeing the world through the eyes of Barney the dinosaur and conservatives need to realize that the Cold War is over and return to the non-intervention traditions of George Washington.
