These lib crybabies can't even stand nonlethal force. Then again, if you are dumb enough to think 50% of your income should go to the government, you DESERVE the results.
I believe we should drastically cut our military and focus on an android-type army. We have drones for the sky...we should have drones on the ground. Or we could wait until another country does...and then lose our status as superpower...which libs, for some self-hating reason, would love.
