I am just tired of this country thinking it has to be the world's policeman to protect itself.
How is it that we are constantly in wars while other countries manage to mind their own business and get along just fine?
OK, I see a short lesson is in order. "Austerity" means cutting off unemployment checks to people who are suffering. It doesn't mean cutting back on the billions we give to Blackwater, GE, KBR, and so forth.
We need a smaller, less intrusive central government. And by "smaller, less intrusive central government", I mean one that stations military forces on 1,000 bases around the globe, and ensures that every nation on Earth bend to our wishes, desires, and most importantly, financial interests.
One that establishes permanent war, so as to provide endless jobs for those employed in the states and districts of influential Senators and Congressmen.
This state of endless war of course, carries risk of retaliation, so therefore the smaller less intrusive central government must protect the American people by wiretapping their phones, reading their email, and at the slightest suspicion of errant behavior, whisk American citizens off to secret prisons where they can be subjected to torture- er, enhanced interrogation, all without the messy distraction of things like "courts" or "evidence" or "due process".
This globe-straddling superpower that enforces its will upon all the people of the Earth is exactly the sort of smaller, less intrusive government the Founders had in mind.
Had you been a regular Glenn Beck viewer you might have understood.
