I would really like "our politicians" to sprinkle some Miracle-Grow down their shorts and cultivate some" ballz. I would stop all foreign aid to ALL of our false "Allies" and let the chips fall where they may. Wonder how much would change when their free money suddenly dried up? I would call due all foreign loans and freeze their American Assets til payment was made. Screw them, all we are and ever have been is free money and muscle for them. We get so little if anything on our over-seas investment. You can't buy friends or ALLIES!!

Isolationism has been tried. All that happens is you have to come in much bigger later.

We are much better off going it alone. First, we don't have to obligate ourselves or make any promises to anyone. Second, we don't have to rely on anyone else and then have them wimp out. And third, we can do it much more efficiently, if we don't have to "coordinate" it with anyone else.

Your point is right on target, however it seems WE always have to come in "bigger" on a regular basis. We can't be the worlds police force, it is ludicrous to think we should lend a hand to others crisis, give foreign aid, feed & clothe, and fight & die when it benefits THEM and for this WE can't get any help or support when in the case of Suddam, our coalition members from before are suddenly now not in step. Saddam will cause the region to blow sooner or later, no rocket scientist degree needed to see that! Are our so-called "allies" blind as well as lazy!?

all i know is, if socialism does conquer Captalism, im goin for my sword and a gun... anarchy would be the only rule then, and id have plenty of revenge to take on the ignorant socialists of the world.

we are the beacon of light, we are the end of the tunnel, whatever lays outside of the tunnel is up to us to make. we as a nation must get tired of taking crap. we as a nation must get pissed off. we as a nation must kick butt, take names, and most importantly, we must survive and amend to best history. all civilizations fell at sometime, but we dont have to. people, get mad at the liberals. dont let them convince you to put up with the nation being hurt. dont let them make us all the victims they think they are themselves.

I don't know. I'm not sure you can write it off so easily. It's like when people write off prohibition because it's been tried and failed once before. Maybe it needs to be tried again. Maybe the Bush Doctrine needs to be tried for real -- if you aren't really with us, you get NOTHING!

Rush was talking about something he has called his excrement list. He was saying that he would tell countries that we are sending money to, "Look, if I send you money, you are going to talk nice about us in public. If you have a problem with us, you come and we discuss it in private. If you spout off publicly, you're cut off. One year, first offense."

I think that would stop a lot of this crap.

We truly are the New Rome, no doubt about it in my book. We have to defeat the socialost monster here at home better known as the demonrat party. The outcome of that battle is far from a sure thing, and the future of civilization may hang on the result.

Sooner or later all civilizations come to an end. We're not there yet, although we might be in stage 7 or 8 of 9 and at our peak. We should do this and maybe some day someone will write poems about us, like Camelot or Troy.

Very well done - mind if I plagiarize some of it for letters to newspapers?

agreed. dont let them use us. we seem to have the same habit as the guy who goes back to the girl who cheats on him. we arent getting what we want, and we give them all they want. we must take things into our own hands, lay it on the line. dont go back to the girl that hurt you. make her make the decision once she realizes you wont put up with the crap anymore. either way, the general rule is "dont walk as a fool"

We truly are the New Rome

Old Rome fell because the Emperor drew borders to the Empire. America is doing the same in a sense by closing its Frontier. The planet has been conquered and it is time to look outward to the Endless Frontier.

Very well said. It IS lonely at the top, but it's better to be looking down from the top of the hill, than be covered by the sh*t rolling down to the bottom.

I regularly wear a pin that says Defend Freedom. I can't tell you how many socialist, wimpy comments that pin draws. And I answer every one!

AGREED!! Well then if they write about us, then the concept/idea of our fore-fathers vision will live on if only in stories/poems. Mayhaps future folks will once again put the dream to fruition and hopefully learn from our mistake/miscalculations. I am most concerned with the immediate future and what I can do to as a vocal active citizen to turn the tide in our favor!

spain also, but noone looks to them because they are doing what we wish we could do. no other countries are attacking them, they are a true replica of us in everyway political. spain is actually closer to being like us than Britania, socialism runs rampant throughout the rest of Northern europe. im sad to say it also, considering im a scot. anywho. we arent COMPLETELY alone, but we are close enough to it that we still must stand for ourselves.
