It's funny how conservatives miss the link to war states and tyrannical regimes. If you really want to reign in government it starts with minimizing their purposes and their biggest excuse for existing is always the endless threat of war.


Close the bases bring our boys home secure the border and sit back.


I understand a true isolationist will never be president but damn I'm going to do my best to avoid another neo-conservative war hawk like Bush.

 

LOL.  You sit there and preach about you being a libertarian, yet you want to practice communist tenants (isolationism).

 

So we close every military base over-seas and "bring our boys home", then what?  Do we shut down all commerce with European/middle eastern/Asian countries?  Do we allow say Russia to take over whatever countries that they choose?  Do we allow a country like North Korea to bomb say Seoul South Korea or Japan?  Do we allow a country like Iran to gain dominance in the Middle East and take control of say the Straits of Hormuz or the Suez Canal?

 

What is that going to do for our isolationist selves?  Just off the top of my head, our current vulnerable economy really tanks due to product shipments not being brought over, and gas prices spiking.

 

Here is a little test for you.  What brand/make is your computer?  What about the monitor?  What brand/make is your television?  How about your smart phone?  What about appliances, other electronics in your home and other devices?  I guarantee you that much of it was made in foreign countries that rely on us to protect them.  What about your vehicle(s)?  I would bet that even if you have a "'merican made'" vehicle it has many parts that are developed and made over seas.
