During an event sponsored by Politico, Cheney said the next president needs to "turn around the whole trend" of cutting defense dollars.
"That ought to be our top priority for spending. Not food stamps, not highways or anything else," Cheney said. "Your No. 1 responsibility as president is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. [Obama] is the commander-in-chief and he's absolutely devastating the United States military today.”
this guy needs to be listen to he's speaking republican "PRINCIPLE" formerly known as "VALUES", this needs to be a lesson to us all, had Romney got elected we would probably fighting 2 more wars unpaid for so much for leaving the bill on the grandkids they say it when they've been doing it all the long. he's telling us what comes first on the republican list military might the pentagon has said it didn't need more fighter planes, aircraft carriers WMD'S but the MIC and republican's want to shove them down our throats anyway, where they'll be stored with the others.
we know it's the right wing agenda because none of them have stepped up and told him to shut up.
Since when are increasing the defense budget and supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States synonymous? I guess if that's Cheney's understanding of the Constitution, it might explain a thing or two. But, aside from the moral bankruptcy of his dismissal of feeding the hungry, let's talk logistics. Let's say you cease funding highways in order to buy more bombers and tanks. Do you then have to use the tanks' capacity for driving across rough ground to take them off-road from the factory to the military base? Do military recruits prove their mettle by hiking to boot camp?
this reminds me of The Last Poets in the 70's had a track called "the white man's got a God complex", it might be a little bit much for some I won't post a link if you want go for it, Cheney fits the narrative to the T harsh language and usage of the "N" word are prevalent but it goes to the point and IMO is a future fate of America if we ever let them in again.
