I wonder if this will push SA over the top and make him Wikipedia worthy?

John McCain scares me because he is like a lot of men of my generation who fought in Vietnam, but are convinced that we could have won it if we had stayed just a bit longer, if the media had been more helpful, if Jane Fonda hadn’t supported the Viet Cong, etc.

The truth is otherwise. Americans were amazingly patient with that war, which lasted, after all, from 1959 to 1974 and cost 55,000 lives and untold numbers of wounded, both physically, mentally, and morally.

The truth about such wars is that you cannot win them by fighting them, but only by not fighting. We won the war in the Kurdish part of Iraq precisely because we didn’t fight there. We armed and trained the locals, and they won their own war. On the other hand, we lost Vietnam because not enough Vietnamese were willing to fight it. And most of those who were fighting were fighting for the other side.

We cannot win Georgia’s war. And I have no interest in Ossetia, North or South. McCain took away the wrong lesson from Vietnam, a mistaken lesson that he seems to be willing to apply over and over again to other places with exotic names.

I used to think that there was no reason to vote for a major party because the differences between the candidates is so small. The last eight years have taught me that small differences can lead to large effects, and that often the duty of citizenship consists in choosing between greater and lesser evils. This year I will vote for one of the major candidates, and it will not be McCain.

There is nothing “bogeymanish” about Obama’s voting record which has accurately been proclaimed the most liberal in the senate.

The foreign policy argument presented in this video is interesting, but of minor importance when contrasted with the magnitude of the immigration threat. If we do not shut our borders soon, the impending destruction we face as a nation will be irreversible.Should we trust the man who says he will at least control the border before offering amnesty or do we vote for the man who claims to be a “citizen of the world” who will build no fence, enforce no immigration laws and will mandate a healthcare plan that will provide for twenty million illegals? It’s lose-lose, but how big do you want to lose? War with Iran or Russia will be extremely costly, but they are unlikely to destroy us. Immigration WILL destroy us.

I agree but I think Pat Buchanan will support McCain regardless.

I think Mike Gavin is right.  Like it or not, find it distasteful or not, wish it weren’t so, whatever, if immigration continues at the present rate, there will almost certainly be no possibility for a conservative or libertarian future.  “Almost certainly”; there is a small chance that that might be wrong and everything might be just fine. But risking everything on a small chance because you don’t want to feel or look like a cracker, is umm, a bit cowardly. 

Mass immigration (like war) is revolutionary - which is why lefties and neocons like it so much.

I find it hilarious that McCain is being promoted as a “necessary evil” because of immigration.  You have got to be kidding me.

I’m with Dylan. The man who secretly meets with Mexican nationalists (twice!) and promises to fill their policy prescriptions while at the same time talking about border control to the American people is not to be trusted.

And besides, you don’t think that the debt from 2 wars with major regional powers IN ADDITION to our current two-front war will destroy us?

The real problem is the myopia of certain restrictionist, who refuse to see that the imperial mindset, is directly related to our mass immigration problem.

Our interventions into Central America, gave us contra drug dealers on the streets of LA, MS-13, and a flood of immigrants desperate to leave their war torn countries.

In the Caribbean, our consistent meddling in Haiti and the Dominican Republic has given us waive after waive of boat people.  Meanwhile our colonization of Puerto Rico and Cold War policies toward Cuba, have resulted in the give away of major American cities.

Even our meddling in the Middle East has had serious consequences on this front.  It’s not just Dearborn, Michigan either.  Anyone been to Paterson, New Jersey recently?

One of the best arguments against legal and illegal immigration, has always been that our continued importation of foreign nationals, guarantees the continued stagnation (and often degradation) of second and third world countries that are, to be frank, in desperate need of bloody revolutions.  Conservatives cringe at such suggestions for obvious reasons, but the reality is that as long as U.S. multinationals look to keep their profits safe abroad via the strong arm tactics of U.S. imperialism, more and more immigrants will flood our nation...which of course, by pure coincidence I’m sure, suits those multinationals just fine.

The opportunity to vote correctly has passed us by. And all that Ross Perot said has come true. But, I was allowed to be convinced that my vote would be a waste? it was a waste after all, voting for a one term loser Trilateralist. I will be voting on principle, for the best candidate this time.(Chuck Baldwin)........As I should have voted for Perot.

McCain is more dangerous than Obama on immigration. The Republicans MIGHT fight an Obama Amnesty but they will help McCain pass Amnesty just out of party loyalty. The video is right, the R’s try to scare us into voting for their Wall Street CFR candidates every 4 years.  candidate. Carter was bad but he no worse than Ford would have been. Same with Poppy Bush and Clinton. Dole would have been a disaster. But the R’s love this old white establishment types. Trot out the ol’ boogie man and they all vote Republican.

Dylan Hales raises a good point, and one that should be considered by all conservatives who still cling to the notion that we have to smite our enemies abroad:  imperial wars are always followed by an influx of the natives into the mother country.

Or, to put it another way, you cannot pursue simultaneous policies of invading the world and inviting the world.

“imperial wars are always followed by an influx of the natives into the mother country.”

Does this explain the stampede to buy ammunition in Alabama following
reports that Russia had invaded Georgia ?
