      Look at all those weapons they sent to the middle east and lost track of. Does ANYONE think it's a good idea to arm ANY muslim in the middle east with military grade weapons? They wouldn't dream of arming the American people with those, in fact they do everything in their power to ensure we can't even buy them for exorbitant prices but they just give them away free to anti American religious zealots that would be ecstatic with joy to murder any American with them.

      Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

        Team Allthesnackbars does not need any military weaponry from us. The way it works is that we arm them to fight (insert enemy). After the side we armed wins, they turn into shitbags who hate the U.S. No thanks.

          Sounds like a Fast and Furious, Aluha Ahkbar edition....

          I'm against it for several reasons

          1. 18 plus trillion in debt.

          2. Poor track record on Mideast war games. (never start a land war in Asia)

          3. Historical record of internicine wars and constantly shifting alliances.

          4. And I'd rather militarize our southern border.

            I've got to wait 18 months just to bring a pistol I already fucking own to NY, but "oops" we lost a billion dollars worth of fucking full auto "assault weapons - with 30 round clips", anti-vehicle ordinance, Huey's and MRAP's? Go get fucked.

                Here is my spin................

                Cut EVERYTHING in the U.S. Budget, including Defense.

                Money is being pissed away everywhere and we are paying for incompetence and lack of control.

                  If you cut "defense" spending in half, it's only 400 billion per year.....how would they maintain 700 plus military installations worldwide and still get the latest wiz bang fighter jet?

                    We are advised to not judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL Gun Owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.


                    And here’s another one worth considering.


                    Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about Welfare running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.
                    Profound isn't it?

                          We drive in a parkway, but park in a driveway

                          Pretty profound...

                            That's not profound, your example is semantics.
