Quote from bobcathy1:
We are for isolationism for the US.
Let the other countries fight their own wars.
Let the other countries find other financial aid.
We say.....
Tighten up the borders of the US.
Improve our defenses.
Spend all our money on own problems.
Screw the rest of the world!
Bob and Cathy
Sounds to me like you have been tuning into the hate monger, Michael Savage. Michael Savage is a fascist, and what he preaches is hate and bigotry, not positive solutions. You can hear the hatred in his voice.
Isolationism? That may have worked in the old days, but with the advent of terrorism, long range weapons of mass destruction, the internet as a way of life, globalization of industry, and the need for us to sell out goods and services to the rest of the world, I think your response is a typical reactionary response.
During times of fear and uncertainty, people naturally gravitate in their minds to times in the past where there was less fear and greater feelings of peace. People want to regain control in their lives, and isolationism appeals as a solution to regain control.
Someone has to be blamed, and during these periods we must find scapegoats to focus that blame on.
When you and Bob get in a fight, is the answer isolationism, or is the answer discussion and working through the problems together?
We must face facts, that we are not in Kansas anymore, and really there is no way to turn back the clock and go back to the land of cotton, where old times there are not forgotten.....
