We should be in Afghanistan. They refused to hand over Bin Laden. It was Iraq and now Libya is where we do not belong. Do you know we have 700 American bases around the world? We are a country of aggressors because we want to rule the world. We are doing the same thing we accused the (expansionism)Communists of doing. They blamed us for such too. The miltary is the armed wing of the American multinational corporations. Not to mention oil. We go in, take over the country and move in the corporations when the situation is stable enough.

How many sides do you think my ass has? lol You know, we need good leadership at the top that keeps us out of wars we have no business being in, like Afghanistan. But, that doesn't mean our military is as big as we need it to be. It used to be much bigger.

1 up. Indeed. Just wait. When they control the legislative and executive branches we will see far more than teacher, firefighters and police taking pay cuts from their hazardous duty everyday. In this bad economy the globalists will control the Neo-Cons like never before.

Same thing would happen as in '96. Bunch of people would get a few weeks off and Congress would decide to pay them retroactively. Free vacation. Learn your history before posting people.

WOW conservatives are a bunch of idiots. Clinton left a huge surplus and Bush spent it trying to get even with a guy who tried to kill his dad. Simple. Bush was the one who started Iraq and Afgan. Stop being so thick and listening to Glenn BECKerhead

Study your history. The M.E. countries at war with among themselves since biblical times. Bush didn't start anything over there that wasn't already going on.

Does it bother any of you that 1% of our population OWNS 40% of the wealth? That doesn't take into account that they "control" even more through leverage. Capitalism unchecked is exactly the same as any other form of govt unchecked. Greed destroys nearly every society that has fallen.

And sittin' around the old campfire singing Kum-bay-ya will keep everyone starving. Instead of worrying about who has the gold, get some education, get some ambition, and earn some of it yourself.

I think it has been forgotten that the government was shut down when Clinton took things to the toilet. Does anyone else remember that or has it been conveniently forgotten?

I'm glad the govt did not shut down. We're a military family. While we are frugal with our money and have a decent savings, I wouldn't have wanted that to drag on for long. I know it's his job, but they do not pay us enough for the time apart, the crazy hours, the long hours, the worry and everything else that goes with loving someone in uniform.

1 up. No me. I would rather see our military reduced by half. Then we would not be so eager to prop up dictators around the world and start wars with the rest

Actually, the world was safer back during the Cold War than it is now because we had nukes and the russkys had nukes. It's all these ragheads and banana empires that have made the world a dangerous place. We need to increase the size of our military and revive the military-industrial complex. That's where it's at - gets us back into manufacturing too, which we need.

1 ^ Revive the Military Industrial Complex? Who do you think is controlling all these conflicts? Our military is so huge it is like 10x larger than all the world's militaries combined. We are in all these wars because the miltary has to justify all the money they spend. You better start reading current events a bit more often. You are speaking completely out of the side of your ass.

1 up. You are right about that. Capitalism is not just having a right to own your little mom and pop store in the neighbor and keep all the profits. It is imperialism and expansionism. In that regard it is no better than communism. It goes to countries such as South America and fills the countries with massive debt(loaned to them by American banks)then strips the country of its resourses as payment.
