I have no problem with sequestration now. We spend hundreds of billions every year for the sole purpose of keeping Third World nations all over the globe from slaughtering each other, and yet we can’t even defend our own borders.
A return to the Founders’ model of American isolationism is a necessary, though not sufficient, condition for American renewal. There is a reason Washington told us to avoid entangling alliances, but we have ignored his wisdom, thinking ourselves so much greater than the father of our country.
Let those who wish to slaughter each other, do so. We are no longer able to stop them. Focus on only enough military to defend our own borders, and let everyone else defend themselves.
