I agree.

That's why I am critical of my government regardless of who is said to be in control of it.


Being critical, and being naive are not the same thing.

Being critical would be: "I disagree with the U.S. actions in Venezuela."

Being naive is: "I miss when we were the good guys"

When did we become bad guys, the 1800’s? 1600’s?

Is "I miss when we pretended to do good things" better?

would be more apt

Woodrow Wilson, for example, was 100 years ago.
U.S. Grant was 150.
List your good guy metric for either.
I did not ever get into FDR. That a-hole even has a monument on the Mall.

Thanks to his appointees. I care about presidencies, not particular terms.

This is mostly due to the population rejecting it.


So the population finally got a president that respects its wishes. Imagine that.

Coolidge was a great president. FDR was terrible. Eisenhower seemed well intentioned and overall good.

Reagan was good, although he went a bit neocon after having Bush thrown on him and after the assasination attempt.

JFK had a few strong points for a democrat.

It's better just from the simple fact he doesn't ship them in, but that doesn't mean it's actually secure.

What I mean is it's unlikely that will be pushed by either party in the near future. Because it's a much larger rejection by the population.

I didn't vote for more wars, more spending, more police state. I voted for the opposite of those things. So how is Trump respecting it's wishes?

Purchasing power is what you should be worried about.

Which version? Before 2000 or after?

Now I get it. You’re a 3XB RINO. I knew the Limbaugh reference would flush you out.
