Our political discourse has to do with Our OWN economy and Our OWN "rights to more shit". Period. Sorry Mate. I truly wish it weren't so. It's getting tedious. We know we have no moral high ground, we just don't even fucking care anymore... So give it a rest?No. Because if we don't define our morals and follow them, then we aren't any better than any other dictator.
Which results in Might Makes Right. If we have the power, we rule.
Our country was not founded on those principles. Our legal system is not founded upon those principles.
So why should our foreign policy be founded on those principles?
It should not be. Which was part of the reasoning behind the UN.
As we're getting ready in invade a foreign country that hasn't attacked anyone in 11 years, we're also stripping the rights from our own populace. Even to the point of replacing our courts with secret military tribunals and indefinate detention.
The morals you follow are all that distinguishes the democracy from the Fascist state.
