What do you people that love more military spending, love tariffs, love farm welfare and hate all immigration call your political philosophy?

We could double our military spending and still cut taxes by half or more if we required a constitutional mandate for all federal spending. I don’t love more military spending, but am perfectly fine with spending more than everyone else combined several times over. I think most Americans would be fine spending less on the military, if our milquetoast allies grew a set. I think that’s what getting after those in NATO is about.

I don’t think many republicans or conservatives love tariffs. The problem is there aren’t many of them among our trading partners, who use them to maintain staggering trade deficits with the US, essentially forcing the US taxpayer to subsidize the prosperity and socialism so dearly loved in Europe and China. So, sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Much the same goes for farm subsidies, maybe to a lesser extent.

Hate all immigration? That sounds suspiciously like the ignorant demonization that leftists love to utilize. Very few have much of a problem with immigration... as long as it’s legal. People who commit crimes are criminals, whether those crimes are immigration or otherwise.

So just what are the people who want to weaken our military, open our borders, and allow our so called allies to redistribute the wealth and prosperity of this country to theirs, to the detriment and even demise of our farmers, workers, and manufacturers?

you certainly are not conservative or liberal or freedom loving libertarian. You are not free traders or small government advocates.

Just what are you???

Just wait kid, its amazing, but from the ages of 18-30, your parents will get smarter and smarter.

It is truly an amazing sight to behold. Only about 7-8 more to go until you finally understand, I'd wager.

When we say small government all we mean is a government that stays within its limits as outlined in the constitution. Please point me to the clause in the constitution that says the government should provide healthcare, college education, guaranteed jobs, and minimum basic income. That’s what we are fighting against when we say we want a small government.
