Israel is definitely a waste of money. They have plenty of their own money, they even have single payer health care (which we basically are subsidizing), and they have nuclear weapons. It's time to cut the apron strings.
There is a reason that the Paul Family can't get elected President - probably #1 on the list of reasons is their Isolationist, anti-self defense posture.
That's just something the uninformed make up. The Pauls have never been isolationist. Trade with all nations, entangling alliances with none. Just like the founders invisioned. They have always talked about a strong defense vs geting rid of military spending overseas. You get so much wrong it's like you're purposely making things up.

You're the one who has no idea at all about what is going on. Budget cuts in the State Dept? lol What happens when 2 countries are fighting each other? Who do we side with and why do we spend Americans money on them? Why do you want to take money away from our poor and give it to the rich of other countries? What is wrong with you that you want to help foreign nations more than Americans?

That's a very dishonest staement. Ever hear of lowering taxes or getting rid of the Dept of Education? Ever hear of living within your means? Obviously you haven't so why are you in a thread when you are so uninformed?

Exactly.

"They use [the term Isolationist] all the time, and they do that to be very negative. There are a few people in the country who say, "Well, that's good. I sort of like that term." I don't particularly like the term because I do not think I am an isolationist at all. Because along with the advice of not getting involved in entangling alliances and into the internal affairs of other countries, the Founders said – and it's permissible under the Constitution – to be friends with people, trade with people, communicate with them, and get along with them – but stay out of the military alliances. The irony is they accuse us, who would like to be less interventionist and keep our troops at home, of being isolationist. Yet if you look at the results of the policy of the last six years, we find that we are more isolated than ever before. So I claim the policy of those who charge us with being isolationists is really diplomatic isolationism. They are not willing to talk to Syria. They are not willing to talk to Iran. They are not willing to trade with people that might have questionable people in charge. We have literally isolated ourselves. We have less friends and more enemies than ever before. So in a way, it's one of the unintended consequences of their charges. They are the true isolationists, I believe." -Ron Paul

But the current Right in this country and the evangelicals LOVE Israel and will gladly send the sons and daughters and our treasure to protect her.
After all the rapture is gonna happen there - soon. Some preachers said it could be today...or next week.
Of course we need them if Christians are going to ascend to heaven there. This would be like cutting off I-95 to those escaping IRMA.
Rand Paul says a lot - meantime his state is poverty ridden, opiate addled, booze and meth overflowing and has many people in abject poverty.
Sounds like California. But it's really a deflection on you and your horrible beliefs.

How about people like you make America and Americans the number one priority. Disgusting that you want to help foreign nations instead of helping Americans.
