My argument is really quite simple- we are NOT safer after all the spending and "war". We are in fact not even IN a war, we are acting as police in Iraq, which our military was never set up to be. The vast majority of the dollars have been misspent on bureaucracy and the lives lost have brought us no closer to any goal, because there isn't one. There are only masks and decepetion, we are weaker than we have been in my lifetime. It is impossible for me to say these things without appearing to be republican bashing, because that is what the very clever spin doctors have proclaimed to be true- it is not true. To call a pot black is only that, I don't care what brand of pot it is.

Whatever disagreements I can make about Reagan's time in office, and there are a few, I will say that we were safer on the homefront because other nations feared us and respected us. Now there are few who fear us and almost none who respect us, and for good cause. The idiot even had the immense stupidity to announce on tv that we are very weak and could likely not withstand another attack either from terror or nature, thanks, leader! Why not just invite any disgruntled party to bomb us now? I felt like he had just "de-pantsed" us and left our shit hanging in the breeze.

My complaint is not again the doctrines of classical Republicans, it is against the stupidity of people who just believe that anyone who calls themself a Republican is worth merit. The same is true for Christianity at this time, not everyone who uses the name of God is holy, and blasphemy is worse than apathy. If you really love your cause, then support it- that means TAKE RESPONIBIBLITY for weeding out the crap so that your cause does not become wholly corrupt. I feel that this administration is the most corrupt thing I've witnessed, and I remember Nixon.
