The hyper-militarism isn't just antithetical to liberalism, it goes against traditional conservative values of small government and "minding your own business." What ever happened to "don't tread on me" and "walk softly but carry a big stick?" Neither side of the duopoly seems to have any grasp of political philosophy any more. It's all been completely diluted by a corporate media that is systematically removing meaning, context, and content from civic dialogue. That's why what you're doing is so important, Carey. Never stop.
