This is true. Ron Paul would not have been a warmonger but the majority said no.
Remember Ron Paul being boo'ed at the debates for suggesting our foreign policy follow the golden rule? No doubt those booing considered themselves good Christians and constitionalists.
As the empire circles the drain.
ISIS is a problem because of the disasterous US supported "arab spring" that brainchild of the Clinton/Obama/Kerry college kid foriegn policy debacle that eventually led to the end of the dictatorships, which as bad as they were still kept a lid on the islamist movement. Once the strongmen of Egypt and Libya were deposed ISIS filled the power vacuum and we have seen the results of that policy. And then the policy geniuses decided to do the same with Syria and you can see the results of that debacle.
Instead of accepting the results of our interference in the middle east the Clinton state department doubled down on stupid. That alone is reason to not elect her.
Oh, and where were they in 2009 when the student in Iran were asking for US aid to overthrow the mullahs? Crickets. They were ready to do the work but wanted some assurance that we would stand behind them but that wouldn't have left the mullahs in power. The powers that be need that conflict to justify their existance and Hilary is their poster child.
I guess you forgot about the 2 disastrous wars started by Republicans. Those are what led to the development of ISIS.

Suppose we cut our military spending in half. What are many of your neighbors going to do for a living? What are you?
There will be more jobs since service our military personnel will be home spending their money here. We the people will have more money and will spend it efficiently, unlike government, since less will go to government to fund wars
When will terrorists and other nations stop trying to bring war to us?
When we stop invading and occupying their sovereign nations and killing their people and desecrating their holy lands.
