Impressive...a genuine moderate conservative viewpoint added to the LWE, RWE, and RWN viewpoints against 'America the Aggressor'...except Eisenhower wouldn't go along with the LWE and RWE absolutist rejection of American geopolitical exceptionalism...certainly not the nutcase assessment. As a matter of fact, many right wingy extremists wouldn't go so far as Vidal LWE or Patty/Pana/Capitalist/RandallS RWE viewpoint of 'America the Bad.'

I suppose, Saloopo, you would consider me a neo-con because I see Nam as having been a geopolitical necessity and Iraq as having been a key geopolitical move for the future of feedom and self-government for all mankind. :roll: However, I am in fact a Dem, although I debated v****g for McCain because I thought Obama might tend to be too much against geopolitical activism (favored Hillary in '08). Was equally hesitant about McCain as possibly too proactive and v**ed O in fear of McC over-extension...still unsure about my '08 v**e...trusted and still trust intentions of both, just unsure of judgement of both. :roll:
