People need to understand that both internationalists like Obama and Biden as well as unilateralist like Bush and McCain will continue involving our nations in foreign occupations and interventions.

You know, the conversation you started over at my blog was similar to the one I was gonna instigate here.
I like some of Teddy's Ideas, however I'm not a fan of His progressive Bull Moose Party.

I think that Manifest Destiny and the Roosevelt corollary, especially when it pertains to North and South America is something that we failed at, because we didn't agressively pursue it as we should have.

It is a threat too close to home.
Thanks for stopping by, and do so more often! I like yer thinkin'
