Yes, because George Washington and the founders were always raving like you (and the Taliban, come to think of it) about exporting ideology by force. Right?
You wouldn't know liberty if it bit you on your arse, son.

I call 'em the way I see 'em. You're a 100% fanatic screwball. Sorry about that.

No, you're obsessed with jingoism.

I sure do. I go shooting right off my back porch, for example.
But I don't think we should invade Togo or the UAR to make them do the same things. You aren't about exporting liberty, you're about exporting the United States. And these days, those can be two very different things.
