"US interests" - That usually means the interests of a few ultra rich movers and shakers - oh yeah - and cheaper bananas for the common folk.
The mind wash and propaganda victory of the elites over the public is to admired for its' effectiveness...

If the U.S. gets proactive - we're labeled the 'Global Police'...when things turn to crap...we're called in to be the 'Global Janitor' to clean up the mess.

Our current foreign policy has ruined the support that we had for the war on Terror. After 9/11 pretty much every country in the world lined up to help fight the global war on terror. The countries of the world were united like never seen before.

Then the current adminstration decided to use 9/11 as an excuse to fight their own wars not realated to Terror. They alienated several of our allies and threw a monkey wrench in the global effort to fight terror.

IMO we should take care of the US first and stop being the world police. When other countries of the world need our help then yes we should be the first country there to support them in their time of need.

yeah - I'd rather have my tax dollars help disaster victims than line the pockets of Dick and his friends

Andi I would vote for you under that platform for President. As long as fiscal conservative does not include cutting the taxes of millionaires.

You mean an anarchist!
Anarchy:
1 a : absence of government b : a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority c : a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government
2 a : absence or denial of any authority or established order b : absence of order : DISORDER

I don't think so. Where does he state he wants no Government in this statement:socially liberal, non-religious, ficsal conservative, semi-isolationist ?

Its the non-religious thing? Religion is supposed to seperate from Government, go reread the Bill of Rights. It is easily accessible.
