President is keeping country safe

<quoted text>Who are you to say where our country belongs. We belong exactly where we will do the most good for our defense.
With the exception of a few small skirmishes in Texas during the war with Mexico, we haven't fought a war on American soil since 1865.
If we would have had a presence on European soil in 1938 we wouldn't have had to fight WWII. Instead we left Europe and became Isolationists again after WWI. We left the matter of keeping the peace to the British and the French. We all know how that turned out. In WWII the U.S. casualty rate was 300,000 killed and another 300,000 wounded. The Russians however had 9 million killed and 18 million wounded along with 19 million civilians, Germany 3.5 million killed and 4.6 million wounded with 2 million civilians killed. We on the other hand had 0 civilian casualties.
Where would you have liked to be during that war?

As the lines separating our country from others gets blurred or eliminated, we will share the responsibility of keeping each other safe.

I don't hate anyone...I just hope to GOD that Obama is NOT our next President. Yeah he stands for change alright...just not the type of change that will be beneficial to this country...I don't believe that he is a TRUE AMERICAN at heart, and I believe that his motives are not in our best interest...

Like I explained to Gary,we need to focus on OUR own country's issues. But obviously, you care more about the people abroad than here which is funny considering that they could care less about us.On again, the hypocrisy is so plain to see.And disgusting for a "democracy" like us.And I will CONTINUE to say that this country does not belong there because this is how I feel. I'm not a coward like the majority of Americans.

And who the hell are you to say that we have the right to be where we DON'T belong.And I am SO tired of the whole "United States is superior to everyone else"attitude. And WW2 has NOTHING to do with this.Seriously. I already know about the massive casualties.Americans need to stop getting into other people's affairs.If other countries are at war, we should stay out of it.There are FAR more important issues in our own country(gang violence,homelessness,poverty racism,high living costs,etc.) than trying to clean someone elses' mess.If we only focused on improving this country,we would be much better off and THEN we can worry about everyone else. The hypocrisy in this country is sickening.Or do you think our countries' issues are unimportant and that we should just be treated like shit?

<quoted text>WWII has everything to do with it. Only an ignorant self absorbed Isolationist couldn't see that.

Why isn't Obama a TRUE AMERICAN?
Because he's not white?
Because he's not Catholic?
Because he's not Republican?
Because he doesn't have a flag pin stuck in his lapel?
Because he disagrees with his government on some key issues like torture?
Because he doesn't look, act or think exactly like you do?
Who are you to judge who's a TRUE AMERICAN anyway?

Minus the isolationist part, you just described trait of 99 percent of Americans. I am in the 1 percent and so are a TINY group of Americans.

Everyone should read his book and then see.
From 'Dreams of My Father',
"I CEASED TO ADVERISE MY MOTHER'S RACE AT THE AGE OF12 OR 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites"
From Dreams of My Father, " I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER'S RACE".
From 'Dreams of my Father', "The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN AND APART"
From Dreams Of My Father, "never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. IT WAS INTO MY FATHER'S IMAGE , THE BLACK MAN, THE SON OF AFRICA, THAT I'D PACKED ALL THE ATTRIBUTES I SOUGHT IN MYSELF.
From Dreams Of My Father:
"THAT HATE HADN'T GONE AWAY," he wrote, BLAMING WHITE PEOPLE,- SOME CRUEL, SOME IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives."

Then get yourself a dose of reality.
The "world" is getting smaller. Geographical boundaries are becoming meaningless. Isolationism is not an option if you want to be part of the "New World". Go ahead, stick you head in the sand, it will leave your most important feature exposed and easier to kick.

Wrong - by your comments you are an isolationist. You can't see the value of supporting our global interests elsewhere in the world.
