Moral source of America's authority my ass
Pinochet, Marcos, The Shah of Iran, the Saudi's, Papa Doc.

Please spare me this moral bullshit. Blind opportunism to defend to interests of the rich. You have occupied other nations and stolen their resources for decades. Fuck this BS.

4. I don't know what this is but America's friends
and foreign policy have never been guided by morality but by blind opportunism. That's my only point here.

8. Will you be volunteering to fight soon, or will you again be content to let
someone else to do the killing and dying while you wave your fucking flag and put up your moronic yellow magnet? Go play with your stupid boat!

9. I visit my family and the bookstores
and for the record where did you see my posts on dislike of whoever. I have more American family and friends than I care to count.
None of that changes the fact that morality has never been part of the equation when your government selects friends and allies. It remains blind opportunism and self interest.

7. It's a self endowed moral authority. The prez says it, so it must be so.
Like the Divine Right of Kings. Or, The Word of God.
