Kineth 06/27/18 10:50:52 AM #28:	Sunhawk posted... Those are some fair points. Although, by your logic with regards to a militaristic nation, America is far-right. Americans seem to live in awe of their armed forces, it's by far the best funding armed forces group in the world, a bunch of presidents served in the military, which is often part of the reason they got elected, to say nothing of invading various countries, such as Afghanistan, Iran, Cuba, Panama and the Dominican Republic...in the last one hundred years. I mean, we are far right atm, that's for sure, but I think you're mistaken on your other suppositions. Teddy Roosevelt was a very liberal president and Eisenhower was pretty liberal as well. Eisenhower reviled war and wasn't eager to instigate warfare as he witnessed the bloodshed and devastation first hand. Our militaristic presidents didn't really serve in the armed forces or attain officer rankings if they did. --- If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me.
