I know that he meant "helping them", and not at war for 100 years. But I still don't agree with that, for the reasons I stated before and because the current foreign policy is not constitutional, and is bankrupting our country. You think it makes us stronger but I think ultimately the opposite is true, for numerous reasons. We are weakened financially as we borrow trillions to finance the wars. We are less safe when the military is overdeployed and spread too thin, and we're in perpetual war while our own borders are being neglected. We are weakened as a moral leader when we do things prop up dictators, for example Musharraf who overthrew an elected government, while simultaneously we claim to be "spreading democracy" (by the barrel of a gun).

And most importantly, back home we are losing the things most worth fighting; our freedom, liberties and rights as our constitution is being trampled and our government is becoming more and more like Big Brother, intruding on our lives and privacy - which is exactly what the founders warned us against, trading liberty for security. If we lose our sovereignty through open borders and globalist policies, and we're losing our liberty and rights that we cherish, then what are our soldiers fighting and dying for?

And if we continue on the path we're on, eventually we're not even going to have a country, because politicians in both parties are taking us towards globalism, so if you want a new world order, then continue to support people like McCain. As for me, I don't want an unfree and unAmerican NWO, I want us to have a republic, which is the type of government we're supposed to have.

uummm, McCain at least says he gets it now and will build the border fence. I hope employer enforcement will be included too. But how is getting Obama going to possibly put an end to the open border? If what you really want is a more secure republic, then splitting the conservative vote is not the way to go.
And some of your ponits about the war really don’t make sense. We are spending far more propping up our huge entitlement programs than our war effort and McCain has a histroy of doing something about that problem. That is one of his main points as it was for Thompson. And, by the way, we are being very successful in spreading democracy in Iraq as is being shown everyday there. The Iraq’s are loving America alot...it’s awefull that the msm is only interested in the bad news and actually wants us to fail. I think you are listening to Ron Paul’s isolationist ideas too much. It’s way too late for that as we have been attacked many times by the islamic whackos, finally we are fighting back...thank God. If Hitler was dealt with immediately by some brave european forces, world war two would have been avoided.
