‘Have you ever wondered why we are invading and destroying sovereign countries,” —
Iraq — because we were in a state of war with Iraq, they were not complying with the terms of the truce, and they had attempted to assassinate our former President, among other reasons.
Afghanistan -- Ever heard of 9/11?
Libya -- Darned if I know.
‘when our borders are wide open?’ —
The government has a responsibility to secure our borders, too bad libertarians do not agree.
‘both parties have done nothing. This is safety and security ? Its a joke.’ —
Our recent chief executives have not favored strong borders. The Republican Party has a policy of strengthening them, the Democrat and Libertarian Parties want to weaken or eliminate border security.
'Our financial system is a ponzi scheme' --
No, social Security and the other entitlements are ponzi schemes, our economic system is crony capitalism.
'we our no longer a manufacturing nation.' --
We are the largest manufacturing country on earth and have the largest income from manufacturing than ever before. Because of increasing efficiency the manufacturing labor force has decreased. In addition manufacturing is a smaller percentage of the total economy, because other areas have grown. We are a smaller part of the world manufacturing base because many countries which did no manufacturing now do so.
'Our politicians have sold us out.' --
Not sure who is supposed to have bought them.
'Look around....this is madness.'--
Been looking around for nearly 70 years and investigated what went on for the previous 5000 years -- This is human nature.
'I will no longer follow the masses.' --
Good for you.
'But....sounds like some here do and follow RNC talking points. Have at it.' --
Don't know whom you are referring to, but in my case I have been opposing leftist and centrist Republicans for 50 years.
'This whole thing is going to collapse. Then what?' --
If Western civilization collapses, which is a real possibility, about Five Billion people will die in short order, and most survivors will live lives that are 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short'.
Well said brother. I respect your views and response.
