I agree. I have no issue with having a strong military to protect our borders. I don't condone having military bases all over the globe, or meddling in other nations affairs for the sake of nation building, and playing the world police.
First off- your Browns dissapointed me greatly yesterday. I needed a Dallas Loss!
Secondly- if you think about the costs and benefits of what we have done in the middle east over the last 20 years it will make you sick. Of course the Soldiers who gave their lives are infintely more valuable then any fiscal cost.
But neocons will hollar when other Americans just ask for viable healthcare and improved infrastucture.
I see more and more people on both the left and right supporting this sentiment. Too bad neither major party will get behind it and support a more isolationist stance.
if you want to find a huge pot of gold to eliminate the deficit and rebulid America its right there.

Not so much of an isolationist stance, but more non-interventionalist. I have no disrespect for the military, as I had to grandfathers that served in WWII. However; we have bigger fish to fry in this country, and I just don't feel that we can afford to police the world.

The Browns beat themselves yesterday! Plain and simple! Our coach is clueless, and more than likely with Jimmy Haslam (the new owner) now firmly in control his a** will be fired! Oh well! Another season in which we're out of the playoff hunt before Thanksgiving!
As for the Middle East, I'm of the belief that not one more drop of American blood should be spilled over there! It's time to get the Hell out of the that a**backward region!
When will the Neocon GOP Wing realize every tax increase that happens is because we are paying for Wars?
Uh, Necons are for tax increases. If you doubt that, then ask any of the Neocons on Obama's White House Staff.
Or you could ask the Neocons that were advisers to Obama during the 2008 Election (like Tony Lake -- Obama's Neocon foreign policy adviser). Clinton's Neocon advises would tell you the same thing that Bush's and Obama's Neocon advisers would tell you.
And by the way, those wars protect your Petro-Dollar, but silly me, I'm just assuming you want to live in a 1st World State with an high standard of living.

If you watched the foreign policy debate you witnessed Obama and Romney basically having a love fest over talking about the Middle east and our continued involvement.
The only uncertainty, IMO, is whether everybody gets to keep Bush tax rates under a certain threshold (we'll assume $250K for now). Obama doesn't want that, and republicans want to protect the rich.
oh please
reps want to protect everyone...obama wants to tax the middleclass

Its not because Mrs. Jones has a book of food stamps.
since you seem to love spewing that word neo-con...do you even know what a neo-con is
neo-con....a liberal spender with southern baptist evangelical background
reps want to protect everyone...obama wants to tax the middleclass
reps dont' want tax increases on everyone. Obama wants to start off with the rich. Notice I said start. When he started off at $250K and calls them millionaires and billionaires that told me that he wants to start low enough so he can move it down the income ladder easily. He knows full well that his starting point is not going to be enough money but has to put on a show for his voters. He is hoping they can't reach a deal so he can tax everyone and then blame it on the repubs.
That rhetoric sells well to people who can't think. Try somewhere else.
try again
people see..and can see quite clearly
liberals.."this new AMT tax will tax the rich"....the truth..it affects the middleclass more than ever
liberals..".tax the rich, you know those households over 250k"....mean whilethe liberals now REDEFINE rich, so a workingclass nassau county cop making 150k , married to a workingclass teacher making 100...is now rich...why because they crossed the magic line
what next...liberals define rich as anyone with a job?????
