You can't invade countries, maintain a 10+ year presence in those countries and keep cutting taxes. That is just plain, fucking stupid.
Oil didn't pay for the wars like the Bush Admin said it would...they have to be paid for somehow.
But what the Right wants is to pay for that militarism, and the money it brings in for the defense lobby,
by turning the US into a third world country domestically. They want to virtually wipe out (if they had the power to do so) every bit of expenditure or law that goes to alleviating the consequences of being in the lower income brackets in America,
whether it be in health, education, food, shelter, labor, you name it.
In a perfect conservative world, all of that would be gone, and the US would look more like Mexico,
with a really really really big army.
Not even... I'm an independent but a strong conservative. You can call me right wing but I'm not a republican, however, I do agree strongly with rightwinger's post above your's. So what you've said is not true across the board as a blanket statement.
When I say 'the Right' I mean what I believe to be a consensus on the Right, a strong majority opinion. It's shorthand to avoid having to issue a lengthy caveat about exceptions to the rule every time I make such a reference.
