"you think the way to deal with military threats is to serve the enemy tea and cookies, and tell the military if they want new systems, hold bake sales."

You're STILL in denial honey. Our ONE country spends more than the entire REST OF THE WORLD on it's military. How come? I know I'M sick of paying for it!

(These figures don't include the war in Iraq, and are MUCH higher now.)

We're one of the safest countries on earth from military threats. Our land neighbors are Canada and Mexico, friendly, non-threatening countries, so invasion is really a threat only to the most paranoid. We spend THOUSANDS of times more than the entire AXIS OF EVIL put together.

Repugnicans are a party that plays entirely to the lizard brain, the party of fear. It's obviously worked on YOU!
