Do you actually think any of this is news? It is a well established fact that Bill Clinton avoided the draft was a Rhodes Scholar and went to college in the USSR when it was virtually impossible for Americans to get into the country.
I can only speak for myself. And yes it is hard to understand why anyone who is not either a millionaire, a billionaire or in the Military Industrial Complex would defend the GOP these days.
I am not a Republican because I will not accept war as a business model or a way to spur American innovation, or as a means of profit and acquisition. WAR and waging war is the heart and soul of the republican party, not a necessity for our freedom or to protect us from terror (bogus) but a business opportunity.
I am not a republican because I favor ordinary workers and not their bosses.
I support the rights of individual Americans.
I am not indebted to the riches and perks provided to me from giant American Corporations and Global conglomerates.

Wrong. The Democrats are The Party of War.

That's a pretty silly generalization, since most "bosses" come from the "ordinary workers" ranks.
I support the rights of individual Americans.
Then you must be a Republican. Dems are against the 1st Amendment (Fairness Doctrine) and the 2nd Amendment (gun control), for starters. They were against the Civil Rights Movement.
I am not indebted to the riches and perks provided to me from giant American Corporations and Global conglomerates.
You are more beholden than you think. You can thank them for having an internet and a computer to communicate, for starters.
I will go in reverse...
Thank you Bill Gates, the conglomerate.
Dems are against gun control, the fairness doctrine, and civil rights?
Now you are just being ridiculous.
Bosses and Owners I should have siad. Bosses do not come from within the ranks unless it is a union job.
Bosses come from the family that owns the corporation because they can't get their molly coddled loser kids jobs anywhere else.
Democrats are the party of WAR?
Another joke no matter what logic your blogger friend from the link lays out.
Are you forgetting those Democratic Presidents could never consider a war without order from the Republican congress?

Man you are young and inexperienced, aren't you?
I doubt that you ever held a job in your life.:shk:

Old and tired.
Since you are making this about me and not the issues.
If I never held a job in my life, I would be a Republican.
Dems are the workers, the sweat, blood and the backbone of this country.
Republicans work at shuffling our money around, thinking of creative ways to hide it, take it from us or skim a little for themselves off the top.
(Global-Corporations, Banks and bankers, Investments, Funds, Stock Markets, Insurance etc.)
Democrats are for gun control.
Not taking anyone's gun away but for, control.
A word clearly lost on you.
Maybe the fife & drum core is playing a little too loudly in your ear?
Maybe you ARE a little mishigas, (the perfect moniker) but still, how many ways do you need to hear it before you get it? Democrats are for gun control.
You can't argue the issues really so, your attacks have to get personal.
DEMS have no choice but to attack and defend our country whenever the GOP conspires with the bin Ladens or another perceived foe (note: bin Laden is an Arab, not an Iraqi - they were ALL Arabs on those planes but we attacked IRAQ?) and pose a deliberate and well planned attack on our own country to get the American people to support another war and stand by and allow the (all too convenient) snatching away of our freedoms and Constitutional rights. While at the same time giving more rights to CORPORATIONS!!??

Gosh I have been on the wrong side all these years?
I should always have been with the tolerant civic minded and peace loving republicans.
Mind if I have some of what you're smokin'?
I didn't think the republicans touched that stuff. You go guy.
I think I am going to like my new party. It is a party!

I'm not kidding anyone. Those really were the presidents in power when all those wars occurred. Did you have a dissenting view?
/TOA
so you need to pick your arguments a bit better.

I'd like to hear your take on why we entered those wars. My understanding has been popular opinion, provocation and fighting communism(which is a funny defense in this particular thread).
Can you honestly defend non-interventionalism during the holocaust or the genocide of Bosnian muslims?
Obama was president during Desert Storm? Afghan invasion of 2001? Iraq invasion of 2003?
When Qaddafi's forces set their marks on Benghazi for the specific purpose of killing every inhabitant of the city you would suggest we do nothing in the name of sovereignty?
There have been wars we should've stayed out of...there have been wars we should've fought too. To take such a stance as 'every major war is a democrat's fault' is partisan BS.
