Just like fighting crime, wouldn't it be more cost effective in the long run to for us to get these countries and their people on their feet? | And haven't we tried time and time again. How many billions of dollars have we spent in foreign aid to Mexico and other Latin American countries. SO because they continue to instill and use the failed socialist policies they have and which causes their country to suffer, we are to pay?????
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- |
