Post of the thread."Hello, I'm from the Government, and I'm here to save the world from evil."
When will republicans learn that Washington can't save the world?
When will republicans stop expanding the budget and power of Washington?
When will they stop empowering this planet's largest, most expensive and most incompetent bureaucracy?
When we will they realize that Washington can't solve every problem?
When will they realize that the world is a dangerous and unfair place, and giving Washington more money and power to fight evil will only result in a bigger and more powerful Washington.
Republicans tell us that Washington can't run a laundromat, yet they give it the power to remake the Middle East. They want the US to jump from quagmire to quagmire, wasting our money trying to reform dysfunctional societies and terminal civil wars into utopias of freedom, all the while bankrupting future generations of Americans.
The old isolationist Republican Party was pragmatic. They knew the world was a dangerous place, and they counted on Americans to take care of themselves and be their own first responders. They recognized the limits of the nanny state. They didn't think Washington had the money or competence to get involved in every civil war, or to fix every territorial dispute.
Then came Ronald Reagan, a man who thought there was no global problem that Big Government couldn't fix. And so Reagan created the biggest, most powerful Washington of all, one not only big enough to rule the 50 states but also the seven seas. Reagan transformed the Republican Party into a bunch of liberals who thought the world could be saved from Washington.
For Reagan there was no global problem that was beyond the competence of Washington and the wallet of the American taxpayer.
And so we trusted Reagan. We increased the military budget to unprecedented levels and we gave our beloved bureaucrats the ability to intervene all over the planet. And what did they do with their greatest achievement, the War on Terrorism? Answer: they built a surveillance state so they could spy on the American People and shred the Constitution. They did exactly what the old Republican Party said they would do once given the power.
"Hi, I'm from the government and I'm here to protect you from evil doers."
Grab your wallet people. The Republicans are going to retake the White House in 2016. And then, every time Putin scratches his ass, the GOP is going to throw another trillion dollars at the problem and destroy more of our Constitutional protections.
Fucking talk radio morons. When will you people stop giving big government money and power? When will you stop bankrupting our grandchildren? When you realize that Washington can't save the world?
Thread, over!

This RWer is very talented. The ability to skip over the BLATANT and MASSIVE government expansions by Republican God & Savior Raygunn and skip straight to Obammerr is just UNCANNY!Get a grip. Blame both parties.
Who demanded that Mubarak step down? And then interfered in Libya?
Tried to pull the wool over our eyes on Syria till they were busted for supporting paid mercenaries and trying to claim they were rebels.
And who the hell started the chest thumping over Russia? Ding ding ding! Why a D President and Sec. of State.
I've been on a true bi partisan rant because my conservatives up here have jumped into this sorry affair as well.
Geeze louise, the latest actions by western leaders crosses the political spectrum. Stay pissed but stay honest.
