Yeah because when Dubya trusted his gut instinct on Iraq that worked out oh so well. Last thing I wanna see is another genius in the White House making a mess across the globe that someone else will have to clean up.

After Iraq, conservatives proved to be too stupid to be in control of anything.

And because of this, we are being taken advantage of.

Let me give you a real life example that happens all the time. As a former police officer, there were the diplomatic types that only used their "politics" because they didn't want to go hands on. They knew all the rules of the book but never went hands on. Whenever on a scene, they would start with the "come on guys, yada yada yada". Meanwhile, the thugs and suspects were slowly skipping away and they would be left with not even a witness in sight. These are the same officers ironically, that are quick to use their weapons because they have not enough police presence to know when to use force through proper training. Eventually these officers made desk duty because they lost too many fights or let too many suspects get away.

My point is, when you come on the scene, the thugs should know not to mess with you- not to test you, they respect you. They see halfamazing cutting the corner and they know what time it is. Halfamazing doesn't need to get out of his car. Just his mere presence alone gives light to the store owners for that brief moment. It's not fear through force of might but through presence.

America has lost this but we WANT IT BACK.
Sorry if your 'real life' example of ONE co-worker does not translate to multiple nations. Translation - you have nothing to offer but more whining, crying, and finger pointing. Quite typical of many conservatives.

Liberals can't be trusted with national security.
4500 dead in Iraq. Republican President. 30 Embassies attacked.

Raygun is a whole different story. Thanks for the laugh tho.

I'll bet Europe becomes a whole lot less liberal over the next 20 years. The US will also follow.
This is one of the dumbest statements I have seen. Source?

Liberals are happy to send women to the frontline, while Conservatives believe men should do the fighting. My guess all those men soldiers were of Liberal upbringing. Not one Republican military person or non-military Republican have I spoken to said they would have ate and let the women soldier be put in the back of the group. Some expressed how they would have protected her......liberals not so much!


Yet, Liberals explain it is Iran's culture is why she had to wear the head scarf.......only a progressive Liberal would say this.....go Hillary!


Did you ever think others want war with the USA or do you really think we start all wars? If you think Syria is not the Democrats war, you a sadly mistaken.
Reads like straight out of the WASP handbook, and the beginning tells all when it comes to this sort of perspective. The only thing missing is that women should stay home and raise the kids...

Other women want to fight in the armed forces, and so they should be allowed. If that's being liberal or wrong, then you are just not being reasonable or respectful of women's rights to do other than as backward thinking men dictate. These polling claims as to what conservatives would do vs liberals are infantile.

No doubt if you believe all this dribble, then you also believe Cruz when he made the most ridiculous claim of all, "I give you my word, if I am elected president, no service man or service woman will be forced to be on their knees...”

Somehow despite the backward thinkers and the GOP, we still make progress, but a whole lot slower than we should...

Well, halfamazing, your post is just that.

1. If liberals need to stay out of national security, then conservatives need to stay out of domestic policy. Oh wait...I thought we were all citizens and had an equal say in our government. Perhaps you are from some other country than the United States.

2. The president of which party won WWI? A Democrat.

3. The president of which party won WWII? A Democrat.

4. The president of which party withdrew from Vietnam? A Republican.

5. People (apparently like you) like to assume that we will win every military action we get involved in. Have we? Will we? Is it ALWAYS worth the lives to rush to war.

After thinking it over, I don't think your post is even half amazing.

Actually, the US military membership tends to run toward the conservative side. At least we were told that over and over again when they didn't want to bother counting military mailed-in ballots during the Bush-Gore vote counting debacle. The reason given was that it would not have affected the outcome, because bush would still have won. So, yeah, conservatives would cry in front of the enemy. Especially if they knew their butts were in a sling because they messed up and entered a country's sovereign territory and were in the wrong.

Sign me up to be one of the liberal pansies, then! We've been at undeclared war ever since my child was old enough to have been drafted. I want nothing more than to keep all our children from having to get maimed or die on foreign soil. If not being the police/bully of the world will do that, why don't we go for it?
