FeedsReplying to a comment on Why Mike Huckabee is Bad for America
Dear Ben,
You might like to familiarize yourself with Kissinger's "Diplomacy", Dinesh D'Souza's "The War at Home" and plug yourself into economics. You blatantly state that the income of the federal government would drop. A user tax would keep pace with the consumption of the rich as their lifestyle is driven by consumption and luxury items. Those who buy the basic necessities are rewarded by fewer taxes. The Islamic Extremist you speak of are not angry at conservative Christians, but the liberals who have invaded the Middle East and beyond with social service organizations that impress liberal values (explained in the non-American born Dinesh D'Souza's book). If you had an inkling of understanding of Wilsonian Democracy or Realpolitik (covered in Kissinger's outline of Western Diplomacy) you would understand that the war in Iraq serves both; and the Presidents who have responded least to social pressure have been those that have prevailed. Our fall from preponderance in the world is fast approaching as China has GDP increases of 10% a year, but this is not bad in and of itself. The question is, how many democracies will be in place when we have no power to unilaterally change the world and will our status of illegals be like Germany's and become a suffocating burden on our social welfare system. If you understand European diplomacy it is a strategic move on their part, one which they have done multiple times in the past, to withdraw from Iraq and conserve their energy. I am not a fan of Huckabee, but I am less a fan of your ignorance and bold, unfounded opinions. These are statements of passionate superficiality and are the mark of one who needs concrete reading not of the soap opera variety portrayed in the news.
In conclusion main stream America is out of touch with reality and if they wish to continue in their quality of living there are adjustments that must be made. I for one am serving in Iraq and do not fight what my fate may be as a volunteer here. It is a sad state that when there are no casualties in Iraq the news in silent of our progresses...Who belongs here...those who have registered, as those in Ellis Island did so long ago, into our system. By the way...we're doing well here and for those of you who send care packages...we appreciate them SO much.
