MEMO TO OBAMA- If You Are Serious About Fixing The Economy DISMANTLE the US Military   Updated at 9:44 AM
   
Advertisements [?]


In two hours, the smooth new president, about whom Johnson pronounced himself “satisfied,” was going to address Congress.
I asked Johnson what he would say if Barack Obama sought his advice.

“I'm now going to lecture you about things you refuse to know,” Johnson said, channeling the imaginary conversation.

“I'm going to lecture you about history. History tells us there's no such thing as a successful democracy and also a successful empire. You can be one or the other – but you can't be both. If you are a successful empire, it will destroy your democracy. That's essentially why Britain gave up at the end of World War II. They concluded that just after defeating the Nazis, they couldn't continue to use Nazi methods. It wasn't well done, but they preserved their democracy.”

Though dismantling the military may be political suicide, a third-rail far more electrifying than Social Security, Obama will have to face that task someday, Johnson said.

26. 737 U.S. Military Bases = Global Empire
   Mr. Johnson has more common sense in his little pinky than the entire US military combined.

Empire kills democracy and creates many enemies. Why do you think we are so hated world-wide?

If someone had listened to the "ultra far left" commies years ago, we sure as hell wouldn't be in the place we are now.

First....**** you.

Second....Your little eurotwit socialist heavens would be apoplectic if we withdrew our umbrella of protection.

Third....As much as it may disdain someone,they really ought to go over to the island and read through at least some of that thread.
It is maddening but also shows very clearly the simple minded enemy from within that we have here.

Isn't that exactly what happened when Bush said he planned on closing down a lot of bases a few years ago?

This is the DUmmy problem in a nutshell.
If they can just let go of Mr Johnson for a moment, and open their eyes. But no, 0bama's in office and they cling tightly to Mr Johnson and won't let go. I mean really, how much wisdom can a person squeeze out of Mr Johnson anyways?

Bottom line: Don't let your Johnson do your thinking for you!

You really want to save this country then here are some better ideas.

1. Dismantle welfare - Giving money to people that refuse to get a job and work when they can is as much slavery as it is anything else except legalized fraud and graft.

2. Dismantle the Democratic party - They long ago gave up on being the party of Teddy Roosevelt and John Kennedy. Now they are the party of Che' and Mao.

3. Restructure the tax system so that everyone pays into it. 50% of the people in this country are not paying anything at all but are getting a free ride.

4. Stay away from these so called stimulus packages. The average person can't buy his way out of debt so why does Steve Eurkels little brother think he can do it with tax dollars?

It's funny, when you try to look up online how many bases the US Military has, the only things you see that have numbers are far left nutball sites that are qouting this military empire meme.

How many of you want to bet that a number of those "bases" are things like Embassies?   :whatever:

6. War is obsolete.
   
I seriously doubt there are going to be massive conflicts like we saw in the previous century. It's just not economically feasible any longer.

But we're addicted. When an economy is based to a large part on something, it's hard to eliminate that something.

I'm all for it.

1938 is too old. The battlefield has changed so much, even from the 60's.

Economies are tied together, especially with the US. World powers starting wars with eachother would be economic and political suicide.

"Our National Guard and Reserves are in no way capable of carrying out the defense of our national interests."

Like what? Murdering people for oil? Sending poor people to fight so that the rich can make a few extra bucks today? Defending our national interests sounds like the ideas of the British during the height of their imperialistic massacres.

Being comrades in beliefs doesn`t change the fact that they will soon be recognized as the same worthless,whining malcontents which would be of no use to the government.

I wonder if these idiots realize that the current economic crisis is rapidly freezing international trade.  The volume of things being transported anywhere in the world has plummeted, in a fashion very similar to late 1929 and 1930.  Among other things, that is why nations are plowing money into banks as fast as they can.  BBC is reporting the British government is buying up huge amounts of shares in banks, and the rate they are doing this is more than one a week.  These are perilous times.

As far as Britian giving up it's empire?  It couldn't have anything to do with the fact they had just fought a major war on three continents and exhausted both their manpower and their treasury could it?  It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the USSR stirring up anti-colonial feelings in Britian's colonies could it?  DUmmies can't think.
