still less rights for the illusion of safety.

-Our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan is actually helping our world image, these things take time, notice our steadily improving relationships with Pakistan and India?

-Improving the lives of others in other countries makes it easier for us to be prosperous and fight less wars in the future. Again, we are in a global economy. Furthermore, it would be nice to have another friend in the heart of the middle east

back in the earlier years it wasnt, this is is all recently. wasnt obama just chastised for going to india? and pulling iraq and putting troops back into afghanistan?

----------

-We spend more in entitlements, here in the U.S., than we do on war. Look at the budget.


if its for a worthy cause

-----------

-People have been committing suicide since the dawn of time. The Iraq war didn't start it. Don't think poverty is the only thing linked to it either. Depression is an actual mental disorder with biological, not bank account, roots. The rich kill themselves too.

-This isn't vietnam. Vets are being taken care of. In fact, the millions that have gone into research on PTSD is not only helping vets but benefitting a great portion of non-military Americans. Rape victims, assault victims, those who survive crashes, etc. all are benefitting from the work put in to understanding this disorder.

im just sayin that theres issues here, and some of it is involved with PTSD, the economy, and the aggressive bullying thats happening on the LGBT front. and GOP being for rape victims that have to bear their child instead of abortion.

-------------

-The stimulus and health care bills did not help our country, in fact they set balls in to motion that may spell the end for it, again, these things take time.
-The right will never take credit for Obamacare. Notice the first thing they are discussing is repealing it.
-Republicans don't like wasting money, they don't mind spending it on worthy causes. How many disputes do you think our bases in Japan have discouraged?

this is speculative.

burntash wrote: yea and thats certainly helped our image to the world. /s if TSA, the patriot act, and all this other bullshit is what makes us safer, id rather go back to pre-9/11 times. its neat improving the lives of others, in a different country. id prefer that our money be spent here on us and improved the lives of our own. all the money, the lies, and the lives of soldiers and civilians spent over in the middle east, while ours are bankrupt, committing suicide from depression, job loss, and their sexuality. the veterans who are coming back home with PTSD, going suicidal, and coming back with blown off limbs and healthcare bills, veterans that arent being taking care of after just "serving their country", big business getting all the money in their pockets, private insurance raping and fucking their customers.

obama and the democrats passed a stimulus bill that kept the country out of depression, created jobs. passed healthcare reform and shit like pre-existing condition clauses away from the private sector. yet they are the bad guys. i bet sure as fuck when all the benefits come along from these moves, the right will claim credit for it.

why do i feel like its been a complete 180? democrats used to be the ones who wanted us to improve the lives of the people in other countries, as you said earlier its a liberal thing. while republicans bitched and moaned about the spending. now the sides have changed.

burntash wrote:well our bill of rights already probably says "made in china" on the back.

maybe some time spent more on our economy and foreign diplomacy than being the ones doing the country invasions. with the last decade of money and lives spent in the middle east, are we any safer? do we have more rights or less?

some defense spending would do us good.

burntash wrote: yes me too, lets get it over with. maybe sweden will invade and we'll have national healthcare, secular government, and hot big tittied blondes.

all i had to do was cut military spending and increase taxes to the rich. all without taking any social programs away from the poor or making people wait longer for benefits.

so when can we implement my new changes?
