And when we no longer have an army to protect us...

Huh? 60% of the budget or more is used for social security and medicare/medicaid. Maybe we could then cut back on policing the world. Are they our children? Are they not adults who can run their own lives?

Because if we didn't have the worlds strongest military, I guarantee you we would be invaded before long.

Really? What was that quote from Yamamoto? something about not wanting to invade the US because their was a rifle behind every blade of grass. Repeal every federal weapons law, tell the people to arm up, and you won't have a problem with invasion. Do you believe what you wrote? You need to stop living life out of fear.

Lets work on getting rid of the illegitimate reasons for government while leaving the legitimate reasons intact.

Like I said. Article 1, section 8 lists those legitimate reasons. Funding a military is one of them. Hve you read the US Constitution recently? Have you seen what the budget is used for recently? If they can't raise the money through means that don't involve making us all slaves, then they shouldn't buy it.

Your fear campaign will not work on me.
