This is indeed a noble effort.
However, considering that the FY 2010 Defense budget spent $685 billion, and the FY 2011 budget is estimated to spend $708 billion why is it that American soldiers lack dental floss, vitamins, socks and toilet paper?
The question is not in restoring American exceptionalism, but why is the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit headed back to the Persian Gulf which the unit commanders say will be for ,” humanitarian aid to counter-piracy operations and even combat.”
The role reverses of the establishment GOP and Democrats was predictable. Ed Schultz , Rachel Maddow, and Ed Rendell all are gung-ho in supporting the US, sorry NATO, led military assualt on Libya. The GOP establishment is “outraged.”
However if McCain had won in 2010 and were bombing Libya today, the GOP establishment would be waving the flag, while the Maddow’s and Shultz’s would be calling McCain a “warmonger.” Echoes of Serbia?
The Tea Party has done the country a great service in fighting against the waste and fraud in government programs, in opposing the bailout of the banking industry, and exposing the Obama healthcare back room deals.
It is now time for the Tea Party to say to the GOP and Obama administration, bring our troops home. End the bombing in Libya. End the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Secure our borders. Strengthen our internal defences, and stop the destructive Wilsonian foreign interventionism immediately.
