I think you are confused @oh rubbish... I am saying that our politicians (with a very few exceptions) and this writer, have no interest in putting America "first, second and third." Their interest lies in a third party who do not give a flying one about the American population.

"Do Not Worry about the Americans, We Control the Americans, and they Know it" - Ariel Sharon - October 3rd, 2001

"as a relatively new Republican myself, I'm ashamed to be on the same side as them."

Feel free to leave their party then and find some other nut-job party to join.

Why does America continue to send billions of dollars to one of the smallest and richest nations in the world as it's own infrastructure collapses? Why does America continue to violate the Symington Amendment by continuing aid to a country that will not sign the NNPT? Why will Isreal not sign the NNPT and allow inspections of their nuclear facilities while continuing war rhetoric directed at a country that is a signatory and allows inspections?

America needs leaders who will put America first, second, and third!
