You could be right, unfortunately uppy is right here. We could stop being imperialistic but we will not. I will catch hell for this but we will see our empire begin to erode in about 25-50 years from now.

I agree completely, and I've been telling people this for awhile now. I don't think we'll see foreign occupiers or anything remotely like that, but I predict that within my lifetime, our country will not be the dominant force economically, politically, or militarily.

And Uppy, being imperialistic gets you NOWHERE except to decline. I guess that's what you want?

But then China and India will cause a political stir in their respective countries by outsourcing labor to the US.

India like China have a long way to go. I know India says they want to put someone on the moon in 2020.

As an Indian, I'd hope they maybe focus on running water for the majority of the people first, lol.

So you advocate unfair trade. That's the only way for us to be truly capitalistic.

If this country is imperialistic, then somebody somewhere had damn well better start referring to me as "Memsahib Rob."

You filthy wogs and wallahs.

I say the USA builds up a 30,000,000 MAN military and sell protection to

the rest of the world at say 3% of a countrys gnp.If thay miss a payment

we sink all their ships,if thay miss a 2d payment we bomb a small city,miss

a 3d and we have a quick land campain and loot every thing we can get

our hands on......exc

If it works out we could end our tax system.Now I know the lefties might

not like this at first.But if we give them 35% of the take to spend any way

thay wish thay will jump on the train.

I did 8 years in the 82d..but no, the looting command will be a unit

outside of the regular military organization and work as an SOG

under the direct command of the RNC.

So I take it that you have a problem with allowing in all these millions of illegals aliens like I do.

Because the idea of these bastards invading our country is imperialistic.

Here is my opinion on that .

We bailed out Kuwait when Iraq invaded with no strings attached.

Do we have an alley as a result ? Yeah right

And what did it result in for us ?

Was Kuwait part of a coalition in the most recent war ?

We develope the oil industries for these countries and sacrifice the lives of our soldiers while they are running schools teaching their youth Jihad.

Next time we get into any kind of war we need to set the price.

Example: free gas for all americans for 2 years otherwise you are on your own

Just when did all of this happen ? How does a superpower find itself at the bidding of camel drivers ?
