Its messages are unabashedly liberal ones of the early post-Cold War era – peace, tolerance, due process, progress (as opposed to skepticism about human perfectibility).

Due process is a liberal value? Due fucking process?

That’s why I had to post this. I mean, I don’t think every war is wrong, but is aiming for peacetime a negative? Isn’t the goal of any war to have an eventual end date?

One would hope so—but recent “wars” on notions are eminently unwinnable. A vast victory for the MIC.

The goal of war is to cull the male population of those who will challenge the ruling class.

What does MIC mean?

Military-Industrial Complex. Ike warned us. If he was anyone else he’d have eaten a bullet for doing it, too.

Can’t have peacetime for too long, can’t rotate stock in the armories fast enough that way. What, you wanna wreck the economy, you Commie?

Due process is a liberal value? Due fucking process?

National security > Due Process. You have now been flagged for a Full Monty Scan on all future travels.  As you were.
