Why should we vote for anyone in the primaries if they refuse to shout about this great injustice?

93. Seems a conservative like yourself wouldn't want U.S. taxpayers to pay for it

Why, exactly, are we spending all of this money when the only attacks against our country are blowback against our troops being in everyone's country?

Mexico and Canada have got us surrounded, better have the world's largest military to defend us.

I disagree on principle that we should be projecting our "influence" militarily all over the planet. It's wrong, plain and simple. It's also not our citizens' interests, nor our planet's, that are being furthered by our militarism, it's the interests and profits of the world's largest and most corrupt corporations, who require "stable business environments" to guarantee them extraction rights to natural resources independent of the wishes of the people that live in those countries. That's wrong, plain and simple.

But a conservative analysis (which I personally have no interest in but would think you would) would have to acknowledge that we are literally taking wealth from our children's mouths to pay for most of the planet's military expenditures, running massive budget deficits in the process. That seems entirely unsupportable.
