GOP loves war why?

Binary thinking?

No shades of grey between anarchy and authority in your book?


Plenty of shades between the two. The poster went to the extreme, skipping over those shades. My reply was in respect of that.
 
My point is that the cost to society is born by both, those who cannot pay, Medicaid, and those who have insurance. The vast majority of insurance is sold as Individual, Individual + 1 and Family. So "Family" might be one child or eight. The price is the same. Those of us who purchase insurance in that workplace or under that plan are subsidizing those who chose to have large families. They are "takers", in the same manner as those on public assistance who continue to have children they cannot afford.
Actually no they are not takers in the same manner. No one forces you to buy insurance or forces insurance to sell their policies that way. That you seem to not understand the difference between the voluntary exchange of money for a service between private parties and the government spending people's tax dollars says a lot.
As to paying for education. I agree. Get the government out of it. Problem solved. Somehow I doubt you are really for that though.
 
Do you know that we give food stamps and welfare because it is far far far cheaper than taking kids into state custody? Always follow the money

What it shows is the epidemic level problem of irresponsible people!

We need to go back to shaming people who are so irresponsible, so that people will be more cautious.

This is my last word on this topic in this thread. This thread is about war. Not the welfare state.

Yes shaming people is a proven model of success. LOL But I digress. Back to the thread
 
Thank you for your opinion. I completely disagree. Christians are the backbone of the conservative movement. I could care less if you want to deny it. You can also deny the sun will rise in the morning if you like. Lol

You can call a dog a horse but it does not make it so. Christians are liberals just like you. You have your made up religion and they have theirs. You both want to impose your made up religions on the rest of humanity by force using the State. You are brothers in kind.

You are free to believe in unicorns and witches if you like. You have a very very very minority opinion

No anyone who understands political science knows exactly what I am saying. You obviously are poorly educated.

Well trump does talk alot of crap will he back it up?
Because North Korean just did this.

When can we expect that fire and fury trump? Or does one of these rockets need to hit land fall 1st before you unleash the beast of our American military?
 
Reality is hardly you folks' long suit.

Do you consider the "cold war" a time of war? What year did Viet Nam become aa war? Is the situation in NK a war?

What defines "war" here?

International law defines war. This definition was established largely by the USA.

A war of aggression, sometimes also war of conquest, is a military conflict waged without the justification of self-defense, usually for territorial gain and subjugation.

...

In the judgment of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, which followed World War II, "War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole world. To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."[2] [3]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_aggression

Justice Jackson, the USSC Jackson made it clear that all men and all countries have to be judged by the standards established at Nuremberg.

He said, "We must never forget that the record on which we judge these defendants today is the record on which history will judge us tomorrow. To pass these defendants a poisoned chalice is to put it to our own lips as well. We must summon such detachment and intellectual integrity to our task that this Trial will commend itself to posterity as fulfilling humanity's aspirations to do justice."

Sadly, that has never been the case despite every US president since WWII being a war criminal that would see them hung if the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunals standards were upheld. [Noam Chomsky]
 
in our history as a mighty nation we have fault more wars then we have had peace Y. is this? GOP?

The Republocrats love war because it funnels the money to their Friends and Corporate Donors as well as excuses the gross expansion of government power. It's not just a GOP thing. The Dems had ample opportunity to wind it down and GTFO as well, and never took it. The Republocrat establishment loves Infinity War.
 
War might be the only political option left for this absolutely historical horrible President and administration just to keep its base intact. And to have some American 1st aka pride support our troops campaign that will surely follow and the GOP base will follow like the sheep they are.

BTW
How's the Afghanistan war going?
 
This senseless war rolls on so sad the average American could careless SMH.

WTF are we still doing over there

Hard to say. President Bush (43) signed the SOFA to get us out of Iraq, looks like president O-bomb-a simply loves war. Maybe president Trump will dial things back.
