(24,979 posts)Clearly, you don't support cutting the military (unless it's a pretend-cut of future projections, in which the military budget doesn't actually go down) and you do support keeping the global US empire.
Here you even claim you don't understand the elementary point of why $4 trillion for wars and war profiteering had nothing to do with "national defense."
You are illustrating that some liberals are not antiwar. Some liberals hate Paul not only because of his support among racists or his economic libertarianism, but also because he is (unfortunately!) the only presidential candidate espousing an antiwar position.
This is a challenge for (some) liberals, at a time when not an "R" but a "D" incumbent is playing the role of commander-in-chief and justifying the continued dominance of empire and the MIC.
