In Orwellian fashion, these individuals trumpet the need to mercilessly tax citizens for the sake of "defense". In the context of our constitutiuonal republic, the word "defense" clearly means something along the lines of "repel a PLA amphibious assault on the Oregon coast". In this context, the word "defense" clearly does not mean "waste hundreds of billions of dollars invading inconsequential third world countries and engaging in protracted counter-insurgency efforts", nor does it mean "statioin tens of thousands of personnel in other countries".
Seriously, WTF?!? How are the ~ 30,000 U.S. troops in South Korea "defending" me? Why the fck should I be brutally taxed so that taxpayers in other countries, such as Israel, South Korea, and Japan, barely have to lift a finger to defend their respective countries? I am sick of Pax Americana, and I am sick of seeing people who claim to be for small government engaging in ignoble, bullying behavior against true believers in small government who demand that this country's military stick to true defense. These neocons love big government and are enemies of liberty. As such, they are liberal lite (at best). Their nominal support of the RKBA does not redeem them.
Right now, even more of my money is being spent defending a rich, first world country that is easily capable of defending itself (and we still have to pay full price for Samsung and LG products), but I have no doubt that someone will soon accuse me of hating this country for not wanting its citizens' money wasted. :banghead:
P.S. There is nothing wrong with ridiculing domestic handouts, but it is inconsistent in the extreme to do this while supporting handouts for the citizens of other countries.
