“For two hundred years, the United States has made it clear that we won’t stand for foreign intervention…”
Meanwhile talking for the previous 15 minutes about how he is going to run a drug war in Latin America and make “the Americas” his top priority… including yelling at Haiti and Hugo Chavez and everyone else. Never seeing the irony or massive hubris in his own statements. In fact, Obama has been turning out to be even more of an interventionist than Bush or McCain. In this speech from last Friday at the Cuban America National Foundation, he criticizes Bush and McMurder for supposedly not interfering in the world enough. Which proves my hypothesis that the Democrats are only sad that their own murderous imperial regime isn’t in power. And that more money isn’t going into the welfare state (though if not enough is going in, I don’t know how much would actually please them).
If Obama becomes president and a hole new chapter of American interventionism is added to history, well what will all the mercedes-marxists in Hollywood think of him then? Seeing how they hate George Bushs war in Iraq I guess they will all come too turns with their complete and utter inability too understand war and politics, or maybe not…
Obama makes me far more nervous than McCain, to be honest. McCain is an evil I know. Obama is a total mystery. He will talk about diplomacy and spreading the war in the same sentence without anyone really flinching or calling him on it. McCain can’t even breathe in general direction of Iran without being accused of warmongering.
In the perverse world of representative democracy, the hated warmonger is a safer option than the charismatic “nice guy”.
“If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist.”
As of the last 2 decades, it seems as though if there is Dem in office, foriegn interventionism is page 6, whereas if a Rep is in office, foriegn interventionism is Front Page. If we look at all three of their positions, McCain, Clinton, and Obama, they are virtually all the same.
I was just thinking about this fact the other day. Bush came in on a policy of limited government and no nation building in 2000 (and of course lied). Obama is running on a policy of unlimited government and unlimited nation building from the get go.
aren’t you guys excited that a democrat, Obama, is going to be the next preisdent of USA. The next great depression is likely to happen in Obama’s term. If they think that a Democrat president is better than a republican president, thanks to Bush, and then the economic recession that we’ve been predicting happens in Obama’s term. How is the American public going to react?
Does anyone else think it’s scary that, according to the History Channel at least, the world is supposed to end in 2012? The same year Obama’s first term will end…
