    Not only do I not believe them, I don't even consider them Americans.

    Don't try to make sense. They know what you're up to.

    Awesome post. The best being "Why do we have a military for". Educated.

    Your question, "Why do bleeding heart Leftists care about troops" cracks me up. It shows you haven't done 1 hours research of their perspective.

    Sometimes punching life's problems has a backlash. And sometimes using your brain instead of violence has a better outcome. I know this concept is new, I recently heard a crazy dope modern quip, "THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD"..........................................:sleeping:

    I simply agreed with Jefferson when he said "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none." in his inaugural address. Friendship should never come at the cost of liberty, but neither should imperialism and hegemony.

    Be a beacon of liberty to the world. Permit citizens to defend themselves with firearms, and associate to form well-armed militia if they see fit. Case in point: the Martin Place shooting which killed 2 Australians - the 2 Australian deaths could have been prevented if we didn't imprison people for carrying a firearm for self-defense.

    Let's stay in the present for now. You libs always bring up how the big, bad US invades these assbackwrds cultures, justifying their hatred of America. Well, if they want to be assbackwrds and the US out, fine, but stay out of the US because we don't want them or their cult religion here.

    Didn't Obama try that "let's try to reason nicely with them" tact? Where did all his kowtowing and buttkissing get us? Iran made an a$$ out of him.

    Twisting reality by telling people the truth is obviously your game.

    Caring about american soldiers means sending them gloriously to their deaths, for whatever reason. And then blaming them for not integrating back into society if they happen to survive.

    How can you not get that?

    Iraq... hard work? What hard work occurred in Iraq? The US completely destabilizing government, screwing it further, then attempting to fix the government?

    We have the military to protect the US. We do not have a military to destroy countries, kill millions, then wonder why the indigenous people dislike us.

    Maybe we should send them all to Australia. I'm sure they would accept them with open arms.

    I take it you've never heard about Australia's concentration camp for boat people.

    Why does getting out of the ME have to be contingent on keeping them out of the US ?

    I agree that we should not be allowing Islamic folks into the US but, this is an issue separate to our involvement in the ME.

    Wilson and Roosevelt did it too, Progressive Socialist Democrats all. So how wrong could it be?

    Conservatives of the time supported both actions.

    By the way, are you still operating under this delusion that all you have to do is say "Progressive Socialist" and you somehow win the argument?

    Bush was responsible for the large removal of American troops from Iraq in 2009, even though it occurred during Obama's term of office. In 2008, George Bush signed the U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces Agreement which stated that "U.S. combat forces would withdraw from Iraqi cities by June 30, 2009, and all U.S. combat forces will be completely out of Iraq by December 31, 2011". Once Bush signed this agreement, no future president could do anything about it. So Obama had very little to do with the removal of Iraqi troops because he could not take any action that breached the agreement that was signed before his term even started.

    Any culture that oppresses women and treats them lower than a dog deserves to be invaded and destroyed.

    They should be barred from entering the US unless they're willing to assimilate to OUR culture; not make demands that our restaurants prepare their meal according to their idiotic standards; and not sue our businesses to allow them to wear their religious costumes. They come here to the West with no intention of keeping their religion separate from everything else because their religion IS their culture and they make no distinction between it and everyone else's freedoms.

    They are completely antithetical to the West. They demand tolerance but have none for others in a country they're uninvited guests in.

    Are you denying that use of concentration camps wasn't implemented under the auspices of Democrats that espoused the ideology of Socialism?

    Allow me to refine your argument a bit in hopes of making it more robust.

    Islam does not respect individual rights and freedoms. You do what the Quran tells you to and that is it. Islam requires that its adherents follow sharia and believe in theocracy.

    The legitimacy of government comes from God and that it is then legitimate for the government to deny individual rights and freedoms on the basis of religious belief.

    1) Our nation was founded on respect for individual rights and freedoms. These freedoms are "Above" the legitimate power of Government.

    2) Our nation was founded on the basis that the legitimacy and power and authority of Government come from "We the People" and not from "divine right" or that authority is granted to Government by the God of Abraham.

    If a person is not in agreement with these two principles, the go somewhere else.

    If a person born into Islam can reject these tenets of Islam and affirm their "faith" in the above principles, only then should they even be considered for admission.

    It was supported by both Democrats and Republicans. One party hardly receives all the blame.

    What do you say to liberals who prefer to kowtow to the enemy and not protect America or Americans?

    You will protect illegal alien murderers and Muslim terrorists in the US before you would ever defend those who try to protect citizens (the police) and anyone who advocates securing the border, because you see it as 'racist'.

    Like I've said before, it's too bad terrorists and illegal aliens don't have blonde hair and blue eyes because then you'd have no problem deporting them and keep them out.

    Our pathetic army couldn't even beat Al Qaeda. Our soldiers only talent seems to be mooching free checks and benefits off the government. Winning certainly isn't one of their talents. Yet some people keep insisting we send them to yet another country. Just bring them home. A constant demonstration of how weak our military is does nothing to keep us safe.

    Remember when Russia was talking about how Snowden, the guy who leaked those papers about the NSA, might have to leave their country? Bolivia said they would take him in. Bolivia isn't afraid of us. And why would they be?

    We can't even beat Al Qaeda. Our people did nothing when the Republicans sent 30% of our former factory base to their comrades in Red China. Our people did nothing but scream at their supposed countrymen to get a job. Thirty percent of your former factory base gone and nobody fired a shot in our defense. They talked us out of it. Pathetic. The military certainly did nothing. All they care about is their benefits. We have the largest prison system in recorded history. We have a police force that uses the people as a revenue stream and believes they randomly execute us without trial. How many of us simply put up with it? How many are too afraid to do anything about it. Our military certainly doesn't do anything about it. All they care about is their benefits. "The United States Military. To get to you, they'd have to offer us a free check."

    Quit trying to march off to the next war. We don't win. It only makes us look weak. If you want to fight, then fight here. Stand up for your freedom. Stand up for yourselves.

    Protect America from Iraq? Iraq was broken and crippled after two decades of war and sanctions.. They weren't a "threat to America".. neither is Iran.. Do you actually imagine that Iran is going to drop a nuke on the US?????

    Even if the took out part of a small city with a nuke.. we would vaporize Iran within 30 minutes. Some people are having a wonderful time
    dithering in a self induced paranoia... They have a right to do that.
