I’m a neo-Conservative, in that I’m a former liberal. And I find nothing objectionable about nation-building in the least. We have no choice in the 21st century to do just that, otherwise we will have to endlessly fight wars or have our borders invaded by people fleeing said countries. Paleo-Con isolationists are the ones that I see that have little to do with Conservatism today and everything to do with the far-left, if only because they sailed so far to the right as to cross the international political dateline. It’s why the Paul and Kucinich foreign policy positions are indistinguishable.

TRUTH ALERT!

Well said!

We have no choice in the 21st century to do just that, otherwise we will have to endlessly fight wars or have our borders invaded by people fleeing said countries.

Then why is it that the "neo-cons" are the same A-holes pushing for open borders and unfettered immigration?

I'd say that most neo-cons are for using the military to intervene in foreign countries where they pose a threat to the U.S. and then sticking around after wards to rebuild. I can understand the Paleo-cons isolationist attitude, but in today's world, I don't want to see a repeat of the Afghanistan fiasco where the Taliban & AQ filled the vacuum left by the retreating Russians. The biggest problem with nation-building is that we let the U.N. interfere. The U.N. needs to go. I'd love to see the U.N building in NYC torn down and a giant super WalMart with a mega-plex theater and a few Starbucks take it's place.

Also, I'm all for a double wall & trench along our southern border, not because I hate immigrants from the south, but because of the obvious security issues.

As far as the 2nd amendment goes, "Molon Laveh".

Proud to be a Neo-Con!!!

“I find nothing objectionable about nation-building in the least. We have no choice in the 21st century to do just that, otherwise we will have to endlessly fight wars or have our borders invaded by people fleeing said countries.”

If we don’t fight endless wars, we’re faced with having to fight endless wars?
Regarding the second categorical statement, which I read to mean that if we don’t engage in nation-building our borders will be invaded . . . well you’re on your own with that gem, FRiend.
Nothing to see here, move along, no `rubber-necking’ . . .
