Actually, Republicans helped prolong the Cold War by giving foreign-aid to the USSR since the 1940's. It started during WWII and has continued until present day. It has included everything from cash payments to military hardware.
Although Republicans reduced taxes they did not reduce government. In fact, they've done nothing to reduce government since Warren G. Harding was president during the 1920's. Republicans run the printing presses to obtain additional money to spend. That's where the national debt came from. Inflation is a form of taxation. It creates additional money for the government to spend at the expense of the peoples' purchasing power. Federal budgets actually increase more with a Republican in the WH than a Democrat.
Thank goodness for Republicans or we wouldn't have an Interstate highway system. It's as though but for Republicans we wouldn't have such a system. Ridiculous.
Congrats, you twist / rewrite historical facts, better than most professional spinners !
No, I didn't change what I wrote, from post to post. Yes, everyone can see what's what. LOL
Bellflower, Ca. is a MAJOR city ? Not if one considers N.Y., Chicago, L.A., Atlanta, and Boston to be MAJOR cities. Heck, Buffalo, Pittburgh, and New Orleans are more " major " , than Bellflower is. I've never even heard of Bellflower and I think that it is fairly safe to say, that the vast majority of people, in this country, have NEVER heard of it either.
Is making a government smaller, the ONLY prerequisite , of good stewardship ? Hmmmmmmm ... Rudy was a moderate / Liberal GOPER ; however, he lowered taxes, made N.Y.C. safer and cleaner ( vastly improved the quality of life) , got Times Square cleaned up, increased the tax base ( made a much more favorabe climate, so that businesses stopped leaving / came into N.Y.C. ) , increased tourism ( see quality of life , as well as lowered crime ),and got porn, prostitues , and gang activities out of many areas of the city. Gee, that all sounds marvelous to me. Yet, to you, that apparently would count for little to nothing.
You have blinders on. Libertarians, here, continuously claim that only they have principles / vote with principles intact. When there are MAJOR differences, between what a party and its candidate stand for, and what the voter believes in, that isn't a principled vote ! Oh, but you don't see that as hypocritical. We disagree. If a party's platform calls for such things as neutrality on abortion ( which is the same as pro-abortion ) , children's right to vote , children's rights, takes a pro stance on pornography, prostitution, and anything else I don't agree with, but is for a few things , with which I do agree, that IS unprincipled and hypocritical. That is precisely, what so many FR Libertarians are claiming as " principled "; it isn't !
Libertarianism isn't workable ; it's UTOPIAN and not what this country was founded in, no matter what you say / think / post . Political purists , are political naifs, who don't see a 1/2 filled glass as either 1/2 full or 1/2 empty ; they see an EMPTY glass. That's just what they are forever going to get ... N-O-T-H-I-N-G !
