So you are fine with reckless spending, useless wars, and endless bailouts as long as they come with a good pair of tits.
1. I am fine with whatever is necessary to enforce this nation's will in foreign/military policy, particularly via the use of military force: quick, simple, devastating and fully paid for by the wealth and income of the vanquished enemy.
2. I am not fine with Lilliputian restraints on the use of US military power from fanciful nonsense about the idol words "declaration of war" (Congressional joint resolutions authorizing war will suffice until we formally abrogate the UN Treaty which purports to "outlaw" war to NATO busybodies, to UN busybodies, to START treaties, to ANY other treaties, to informal "gentlemen's agreements," to the application of the Geneva Accords (if they must really continue to exist) to non-signatories who act against us as terrorists or as make-believe military or whatever.
3. Money need not be expended wastefully in any function of government but money is not some sort of overriding god to be worshiped at all costs by any who call themselves conservative. Tight budgeting is, however, a nice to have, not an absolute need to have compared with more important issues such as: not being bullied by international thugs; putting a stop (nationally if possible) to the "Roe vs. Wade" created right to slaughter the innocent unborn children; putting a stop (nationally if possible) to the imposition of rump ranging or fudgepacking (and all female equivalents) upon our society as though it were somehow "marriage;" Second Amendment rights to Keep and Bear Arms, concealed, open or however one darn well pleases; and other essential rights.
4. Not one nickel to bail out any commercial institution, any private sector union, absolutely any public sector union, any state, and county government, any municipal government. Amend the constitution to apply the 14th Amendment language prohibiting federal payment of Confederate war debts to each and every one of these. Nothing and NO ONE is "too big to fail."
5. "Useless wars" are, by definition, well, useless. They ought not to be engaged in although I suspect that your definition of "useless wars" and mine would differ greatly since I am an actual conservative and you seem likely to be a paleowhatever. Just because El Run Paulie serves in Congress (thank God he will soon be gone along with his looney tune caricature of conservatism and his antiwar leftist college zombies) and just because Pat Buchanan has substantially lost his mind on foreign policy and military matters, does not mean that sensible conservatives will emulate either of them.
6. Puhleeze!!! Do not waste time or breath referencing the 10th Amendment like that Galveston liar you admire to defend against federal attacks on the babies and on marriage. We are way too far down the road to judicial totalitarianism on such subjects to continue fighting with both hands behind our backs, both ankles chained together and slamming our jaws against the fedjudicial fist.
7. In marriage, a lot of guys have settled for less than that good pair, but I seem to recall adding (for worthwhile female candidates of which we have at least two) a wide array of other qualities, physical, moral and intellectual (that is to say NON-paleowhatever). You brought up "a great body," so don't whine when others continue your imagery and add to it.
8. It is more than about time that the paleopipsqueak of Galveston took his essentially treasonous and utterly insane self out of politics and Congress once and for all. Maybe Galveston can find an American to elect. It certainly had more of an obligation to America than to elect El Run Paulie, comparable only to Weepy Walter Jones of NC in the GOP caucus and to Dennis Cuckoocinich and former Congresscritter Cynthia McKinney on the Demotraitor side.
9. Your 76-year old boy is a libertarian and certainly NOT a conservative. Good riddance to him. That will do for now. There is plenty more where that came from if you choose to prolong your defense of the sorry little treasonweasel.
