I was a Democrat until I saw so much of my taxes going to people who didn't want to work, then I turned into a republican until I saw all the bickering in the party, then I turned into an independent because alI I wanted to see was my country recover from the devastation all of the politicians had caused. Personally I am not sure it will ever recover. Hopefully I won't be around long enough to see the end.

I've always been a John Bircher

Funny;
same thing trump is calling for

Lots of people are calling for it, including me, and I am definitely not a Bircher. The big reason is we are paying most of the upkeep and they are doing nothing good for us/US. Same thing for NATO, everyone should pay their fair share or just close them down. The money could be put to a lot better uses.
