Sending much of the military to the other side of the planet is not the best way to defend people here.

I might add that leaving our borders wide open is not the best way to defend people here either.

In fact, I thought most all of us were on board with that a few months ago, but now it seems like a great many Freepers are willing to forget that McCain and his ilk are the leading proponents of amnesty.

Some would cast their lot with absolutely anyone who runs under the Republican banner, no matter what the candidate actually stands for. Personally, I am not a party whore like that.

And I agree with you that the border needs to be secured, but it has been kept unsecured by "cheap labor" neocons in the Republican party as much as Marxist "tribal politics" Democrats wanting a new government-dependent victim class.
