Why do liberals always blame America first for any wrongs in the world??!

You might want to check your facts, sweetpea. The last time I looked, McVeigh and Nichols were Americans. Ted Kaczinski, the Unabomber, was an American. The Columbine school shooters, Adam Lanza, and Micah Johnson were all Americans, too.

The KKK is a home-grown American terrorist organization that's on the rise again according to news reports.

Any religion has the potential of excluding and or creating hatred toward others! Religion = no win for anyone, period!

The wrongs of the world will always exist. It is our stupidity in thinking we can correct them that brings terrorism to our shores.

I suggest reading Pat Buchanan's "A Republic, Not an Empire". The book is great. He also has a speech with the same title that gives you a short course of why our foreign policy has brought terrorism to our shores.

Pat has never been accused of being a liberal.

Why do conservatives always think no negative consequences will come from invading other countries?

Democrats should not have toppled Governments and destabilized countries e.g. Libya.

Because all terrorists do not come from the Middle East.
Timothy McVeigh, Dylan Roof, James Holmes, the guy in Dallas last week, the Boston bombers, FALN, the IRA...

Not from the Middle East.

Yes, I agree, that was a bad idea as well. Though the Libya rebellion was going to happen with or without our help.

I don't wonder because I'm reasonably educated so I know it's not true. The first acts of terrorism happened in Russia in the 1860s. Since then, terrorists have sprung up in multiple locations in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the U.S. too. It's probably happened in Africa as well.
