No you don't. No military coup has ever led to a government that provided more liberty for its citizens.
I'm not talking about a military coup. I meant I wish it wasn't so ingrained in Cops/Military to strictly follow orders, often from people that do not have the best interests for them or our country. I am talking about recent wars-which were not constitutionally declared.

When Congress rolls over and shows their bellies to an Executive initiative, what did you expect the military to do besides say, "Yes, sir?"
The generals did all they could to drag their feet on going into Iraq, for instance. The Army CoS got himself fired and the Commandant of the Marine Corps got pointed to a chilly retirement because they resisted going into Iraq.
Congress just rolled over for the president. What, exactly, did you expect the generals to do?
The more diverse and multicultural the US becomes, the more likely the union will break up IMO. Could "Brexit" spur a movement in the US?
The United States has always been multi-cultural.
The only thing that attempted to break up the Union was the Civil War, instigated by a bunch of people who demanded the right to buy, sell, enslave, rape, beat, murder, and own other people.
For me it's a victory against globalization which is bad for all of us. Unless you are a billionaire who will profit greatly from easy access to peasant labor.
Hmmm. Isn't trump a billionaire who profits greatly from peasant labor?

You're a right winger. When did you become less enamored with billionaires getting rich from cheap labor? That's what you righties are all about.
In fact, you guys get sick at the thought of a guy paying someone really good wages and benefits. Especially if you find out that he can get the labor at slave rates somewhere else.

If that's what the people of GB want, why is that any concern of ours? GB isn't a dictatorship. They're in the EU based on national consensus at the time.
Basically, if they want another layer of government, then more power to them. I see no reason to get giddy or angry either way.

With the vast majority in control being European, Christian. Watch the wheels fall off when they lose control. You can see it already.
