President declares: Every gun that is made, every warship launched is a theft from the hungry

Unbelievable how lame your fear mongering is

Totally clueless as to global threat


You asked, I answered.

What is the global threat in your opinion?

Famine


Well, considering that the US is one of the largest food producers on the planet and, if not for immigration would have stable population, I think we are doing plenty to prevent famine, despite our military spending.

So, yeah! Happy ending!:woohoo:
Yea...but our infrastructure is crumbling, healthcare is a joke, education is failing

About the cost of a Carrier task force and fighter wing


Infrastructure? You do realize that majority of federal spending is on entitlements, right?

OUr healthcare is top notch. The uninsured is an issue, but other nations have other issues, such as deadly wait times, or low quality care.

Our issues with education are not caused by lack of money.

The uninsured are no longer an issue, obama fixed it. Yup, no worries at all.

Our infrastructure is a joke

We still have 26th ranked healthcare

But ask for a new stealth bomber and you got it
 
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. … Is there no other way the world may live?



Great speech by a great President

Indeed. It's utterly insane.
 
Whatever happened to the peace movement? I haven't heard anyone but Ron Paul seriously speak out against the war machine in ages.

Geeze louise he forgot drones! How many children could he feed every time one of his drones takes out a wedding party in Yemen?

I like how it implies that the government is responsible to feed people.
 

The John Birch Society claimed Ike was a Communist. Maybe they were right.... :dunno:

I think Truman was a communist. We lost China to the commies when he was in power.

In a sad history of brainless posts, this is the dumbest thing you've ever posted. How in hell, while fighting WWII, can you hold Truman responsible for "losing" China. The U.S. wasn't even in China at the time.

It wasn't until AFTER WWII that the U.S. starting meddling in other countries affairs.

When he said that in 1953, did he also mention what the cost of socialism spreading across the globe, would be?

How many would go hungry as workers fell into sloth and did their jobs half-heartedly?

How many would starve when crops failed and they found they had no reserve? No rich an idle nation to supply the food they lack?

How many would die when emergencies happened and no ambulances were available? No fire trucks? Roads were inadequate for relief to get to the stricken location?

A military costs less than those things... because when government becomes socialistic, all of those things start affecting the entire country.

Another conservative idiot. Workers haven't "fallen into sloth" because of socialism. Countries with socialized medicine talk about the "freedom" they feel not having to worry about the costs of getting sick.

Money not spent on the war machine goes into education, infrastructure, and medical care for the people of a nation.

It allows countries to balance their budgets, provide for their people, and provide a stable platform for business to operate.

American Conservatives have become warmongering selfish idiots. Emphasis on selfish.

Talking out both sides of his mouth, like any other politician.

With a better understanding of the role of the military than any President in the last 100 years

The commies took over China after WW II, dingbat. Truman's advisors were communist spies who routinely claimed that the Nationalist Chinese were the bad guys and the communist Chinese were the good guys. They talked Truman into denying aid to the Nationalists.

If it allows countries to balance their budgets, then why don't any of the countries with socialized medicine have a balanced budget?

You're so stupid it must be painful.

Do you think Russia and China would destroy all of their nuclear weapons AND cut 95 percent of their military?
