The founding fathers lived in another age. An age where boundless oceans provided a natural moat. An age without intercontinental flight. An age without weapons of mass destruction. They also founded a country that was one of the weakest in the world, leaving them little choice but to avoid the world's stage. None of the conditions they founding fathers faced continue to exist.

There are many ways to stop illegal immigration. The military is not equipted or trained for that mission. And, since that problem is a law enforcement issue, there are constitutional prohibitions that prevent their use in that regard.

Just remember this "Two-Party Cartel" would die on the vine IF other parties were allowed to flourish. But they have it controlled & you get either chocolate or vanilla. Today its marble. That's the New World Order's delight. Why is Buchanan & Nader so villified? Because they are loose cannons. They aren't bought & paid for pols. They just might put the average Americans above the elites & that can't happen on the way to the total globalization of the world. You've been snookered when you go to the fake polls on voting day. Yes. I voted for Buchanan each time he ran & I would continue to do so & I'm not throwing my vote away.

True in every regard.

None of the conditions they founding fathers faced continue to exist.

Not true.
They faced and delt with the imperial designs of England and France, We have faced and delt with the imperial asperations of England and have not done as well. Their machinations got us into two world wars that were not in our national interst.
As with France, we have finessed Russia very nicely. Thank you GW Bush.

I agree that we are no longer a nation of little power and influence. I do not agree that we should be invegled to solve europe's problems in eastern europe, Africa, and the middle east.

We have the means with our missles, B-52s, and a blue-water navy to impose our will whenever it suits our national interests. The Marines and Army are need to defend our borders, not Kosovo, Isreal, etc.
Ground troops win, keep, and hold territory. They are not needed to punnish those who would do us ill. They are needed to maintain the sovreignty of our nation.
