I love the America of the Constitution and limited government - not the America of the Patriot Act and the Orwellian Department of Homeland Security. I love the America that Washington and Jefferson said should be far removed from all the age-old quarrels of Europe and Asia, while trading benevolently with people all over the world - not the America that has troops in a hundred countries while our own government prohibits us from peaceful trading with dozens of countries." Thoughts on the American empire Is it an empire? Whenever I say that America has become an empire, someone is sure to say Im being ridiculous. But what do you call a government that has tried (usually successfully) to force "regime changes" in Panama, Grenada, South Vietnam, Cuba, Guatemala, Chile, Rhodesia, South Africa, Iraq (in 1963), the Philippines, Serbia, Afghanistan (twice), Iran and several other countries that dont immediately come to mind? What do you call a government whose leader says everyone must play by his rules or risk being attacked? World government America rules the world - by force. And thats ironic. Because for as long as I can remember, conservatives have been railing against the threat of world government. But now we actually have a form of world government - a government run by George Bush and enforced by the American military - and most conservatives are all for it. If you ask foreigners, they make it clear that its Americas bullying foreign policy they detest. Billionaire Finances Obama Attack Adsclipped by: Andrew Farrellclippers remarks: Swift Boat Veterans for Truth all over again? WASHINGTON ? The conservative group running advertisements that highlight Senator Barack Obama?s association with the 1960s radical William Ayers is being financed by a Texas billionaire who has raised money for Senator John McCain and who also helped finance the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign against Senator John Kerry in 2004. The billionaire, Harold Simmons, donated nearly $2.9 million on Aug. 12 to the American Issues Project, the group running the advertisements, papers it has filed with the Federal Election Commission show. In 2004, Mr. Simmons donated $2 million to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, whose advertisements against Mr. Kerry included one that, with allegations since discredited, impugned his military service as a Swift boat captain during the Vietnam War.
