GOP loves war why?

well when im wrong id admit it so the dems of the past love war more.... anyway our current president just asked for more war powers how long will congress debate this? before its approval?
 
War is what's best for business when your an arms dealer, drugs dealer, etc.

 
Time to reflect and ask a new question why does the modern GOP love war?
Anyways.
Trump has finally discovered the best way to distract the American people from all his lies and investigations. Might as well throw north Korean in this mix. Oh yeah let's not forget the ongoing fighting Isis in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It's not that the GOP loves war, it's that the Kochs have a secret deal with Cheney to force modern Republicans into as much war as possible in order to drive up shares of Halliburton, while creating more instability in the Middle East that is good for the Koch's domestic oil energy businesses. Now, admittedly, there is an open question on whether or not the Kochs are really in it for their own purposes or being used as the front for a Knights Templar / Alien cabal, but that's what gets you the wars.
Oh thanks for the information :peace

in our history as a mighty nation we have fault more wars then we have had peace Y. is this? GOP?

The letter behind the name does not matter, both sides support it. There are two types of wars, real wars and proxy wars, real wars are host country and enemy country fighting. Proxy wars are funding and arming rebels in x country while enemy country does the same, using others to fight our wars for us.

Reagan daddy bush clinton and obama used proxy wars, while other wartime presidents use real wars. Iraq and afganistan for bush, vietnam over multiple administrations, though it hit it's peak under lbj and nixon, though this was also a semi proxy war against russia, as too was korea.

Proxy wars like what obama did are wars done when the american public is tired of supporting endless war, only difference between bush and obama was bush sent our troops to fight while obama threw money at another country to get them to kill eachother, equal human suffering, just different forces doing the actual fight.

I respect you taking time to explain this and I agree with 99% of your statement. At the end if the day war is war and war is hell however in this sick sad world it seems to be needed.

Yeah, that sure does stack up there. Thanks for the good post.
 
I feel like a republican I'm going to deflect and lie and continue to believe conservative Christians love war.

Over history, which religion hasn't engaged in war? I think they've all engaged in war at one, or multiple, point or another.
 
The reality is....the Republicans LOVE war and the Democrats are too spineless and afraid of their own shadow to oppose them so they go along with it.

Oh you partisan hacks are so funny. Watching the mental gymnastics you have to do to spin the facts is so entertaining
 
I am basing it on my lifetime experiences, not the historical context of the nation. Since I have been alive, it has been clear to me that Republicans love the build-up to war and relish the idea of being a "War President". GWB even spoke about it before he was elected. The Democrats, on the otherhand are so afraid of being perceived as being "weak" that they play right into the hands of the neo-cons. I think the history of the last 40 years speaks clearly to this.

And I am sure your conclusions were not at all shaped by those super think partisan blinders you wear. No that couldn't have anything to do with it.

Well...THATS conveeeeenient!

And Clinton/Bosnia? Clinton/Iraq? The 6 years of the Obama administration?

You see what you WANT to see.

Oh, and what's that? The data?

Seems to me the lives of our soldiers are in better hands under democratic leadership.

An alternate reality for sure.

Or in better hands when Islamic terrorists aren't attacking our country. If Clinton did something about Bin Ladin when he had the chance, those numbers wouldn't be there.
 
I remember my 1971 college history professor standing up there with a chart like this:

WW1 186,000 KIA
WW2 360,000 KIA
Korea 38,000 KIA
Vietnam 58,000 KIA

Total killed in combat this (20th) century in wars engaged by Democrat Presidents-642,000
Total killed in combat this century in wars engaged by Republican Presidents-0
At the time, every Democratic President in the 20th century (Wilson, FDR, Truman, JFK/Johnson)got us into a war and NONE of the Republican Presidents did. Perhaps that has changed somewhat. But still Republican Presidents have had wars with very low death counts. BTW, we currently are in 6 wars. And since Iraq ended before it restarted, Obama gets credit for 5 of the current wars. Inherited 2 and passed on 6.
 
The reality is....the Republicans LOVE war and the Democrats are too spineless and afraid of their own shadow to oppose them so they go along with it.
The scary thing about Democrats is that they like this "bloodless" wars in which few Americans die. And we can't or won't count the dead Libyans, Yemenis, Pakistanis, Iraqis, Serbians, etc. Hillary's war in Libya has resulted in 4,000 Libyans drowning while trying to escape their wrecked country (just in 2016) and the reintroduction of slavery.

What? Do you think that somehow makes sense?

How many US military casualties occurred because of Bin Ladin- do you know?

Or do you actually still believe that the war of aggression against Iraq had some relationship to Bin Ladin?
 
How many countries did Obama bomb again? :lol:

You either didn't read the first reply to your OP, or else you're just not a serious poster.


I suspect both.

No, I don't. I'm saying if Bin Ladin was taken care of, there would have no 9/11 to be used as an excuse to attack Iraq.
