I agree 100% which is why I started with Teddy's quote. Unfortunately, we have become naive to the ways of the world in our effort to spread or facilitate democracy.
really...well obviously you are a geo-political expert, much more insightful and knowledgeable than our, how did you put it, "community organizer president"...please share with us your wisdom on how to handle the "spreading of democracy" to the rest of the world.
Of course they made fun of Reagans foreign policy what was it again? Kill a couple hundred Marines we'll grab our hat and run. And our policy has gotten worse now it's do what our bankers want or get invaded.

Wasn't that Obamas foreign policy for Iraq, and afghanistan ?
Few thousand get killed, aided by this countries enemies like IRAN and SHIA islamists, and he cuts, and runs.
Obama's foreign policy ?
Forcing the military to go 'green' using alternative energy, and 'arming' US embassies with Chevy volts!
What an 'awesome' leader we have!
Sounds like you want America to stay a slave to the oil cartels. What is wrong with using alterative fuels. The sooner we stop having to rely on oil the better.
For starters...Obama and his State Department lifted the sanctions, much tougher than we're seeing imposed by Obama now, on Russia that Bush put in place after Russia's Georgia incursion.
Proving once again that politics no longer ends at the water's edge, Republican leaders and many in the media have been lambasting President Obama's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While the Washington Post editorial board charged that Obama's foreign policy is "based on fantasy," Senator John McCain and his Mini-Me Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called President Obama "feckless" and "weak and indecisive," an approach which "invites aggression."
Predictably, the memories of the administration's critics are short. After all, President Bush didn't roll back the Russian occupation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia after Vladimir Putin's battering of Georgia in August 2008. Bush didn't lead an alliance of the willing to isolate Russia, undermine its economy, mine the Black Sea, provide defense guarantees and rush American military supplies to Tblisi. Instead, Dubya simply denounced Moscow's reaction using much the same language President Obama is deploying now.
As you may recall, Georgian shelling of the South Ossetian capital on August 7 and 8, 2008 started what an EU report later concluded was an "unjustifiable" war. (On the 9th, GOP White House hopeful John McCain first declared "we are all Georgians now.") With Russian forces pounding Georgia troops, President Bush on August 13 declared, "To begin to repair the damage to its relations with the United States, Europe, and other nations, and to begin restoring its place in the world, Russia must keep its word and act to end this crisis." Two days later on August 15, Bush anticipated by almost six years John Kerry's line that "You just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pre-text."

I'm actually tired of correcting EVERYONE on this.
During the 2008 election. Obama wanted to INCREASE troop levels in Afghanistan, not end the war. Iraq, he wanted to end SLOWLY.

Sounds like ?
Did I say anything of the sort ?
NO.
SO what is wrong with alternative fuels ?
First thing is this:
I do suggest people actually watch the video. It is rather enlightening.
They would find out things like the current alternative energy crowd doesn't have one original thought among them.
The only thing they are doing is recycling the same old ANTI business dogma they have for over 100 years.
So the 'oil' cartel is soooo passe !
Hell create a NEW ONE !.
Oh and foreign policy comes in to play since all that alternative energy crap isn't going to be made here.
IT is going to be made 10,000 miles away using fossil fuels. shipped here using fossil fuels.
All so people can pat themselves on the back thinking they 'saved the planet' ! ! ! ! !edit on 21-3-2014 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

By starting more threads like this?
Seems to me that was a whole lot of regurgitated, disjointed, rambling verbiage just to try to say, "I blame Obama for everything."
edit on 3/21/2014 by ~Lucidity because: hate was too strong a word. maybe.
Hilarious you pick the most ignorant racist person to ever appear on tv to back you up. And your ignorance on alternative fuels shows you have done no research on the subject.
