KT, I, usually, do look at each issue as it comes about, but sometimes I will incorporate several issues in a single post to eliminate the need to answer more questions. I have read the platform of the libertarian party, and many of the planks are to my liking, but no party's platform can please all of the people in all ways. The major problem, is that the libertarians only have a snowball's chance in hell of getting anyone elected into a prominent position. So, I have to choose the lesser of two, or three, evils. Smaller nations do not get attacked by us just because they have sellable resources. The flow of American dollars to those countries is proof of that. Personally, I would just as soon that the rest of the entire world kowtowed to us, but that is not very neighborly. What we have to consider, is that not all nations are interested in our, so called, Democracy, and we should not try to shove it down their throats. We need to spend more time on reducing the top heavy situation the citizens of America are having to pay for, without receiving value for their money. As I said before, I am more of an isolationist, than a global type of person. IMO, we should keep our strength at a maximum, and snub our noses at the rest of the world. If we pulled all of the manufacturing that is being done off shore on products that are claimed to be American, there would be more employment in this country, and even if we didn't we can live without help from any other nation. We did it before, and we can do it again. We do not import any product that we cannot manufacture, or cannot do without. Some of the pricks in their suits, ties, and corporate trimmings may have to get their hands dirty, but it is about time they did. Global corporations should be splintered back to where they belong. This world is getting too close to the "Roller Ball" thing in the move with James Caan. I don't have a lot of guns, but have plenty of ammo, and know how to use it effectively.

I know it's not the troops' fault that The Supreme Court appointed a jackass President. The institutional disrespect for the rule of law in the left wing is perhaps a greater danger to our society than the murderous savages who attacked us on 9/11......
