Dick Cheney to keynote Republican Party of Florida event

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Told yall Jeb is bringing his goons

Dick Cheney understands the world we live in, he has shown tremendous judgement in foreign policy and he is to be commended for sticking to his principles.

The public dislikes him. They like W personally, Cheney doesn't have that warm personality.

You disgust me. Your slurping is unreal.

Look, I see the signature photo you have chosen. I know you care more about the rights of terrorists than the security of American citizens. I know you'd rather this country be a nation of stoners. But some of us understand that this is a dangerous world and that keeping America safe requires a strong military and an overseas presence at times, though we shouldn't be the world's police.

Tell that to the rest of the world.

Sometimes, making tough decisions isn't popular even when it's right. The fact of the matter is, the U.S. needs to have strong alliances. Our alliances with nations such as Israel, England, Germany, and Poland were stronger under George W. Bush than they are today. But there are folks in foreign countries who believe that Bush and Cheney should have left Saddam Hussein in power to oppress 25 million people, to continue secret prison camps, to continue to murder and rape, and to threaten the world with weapons of mass destruction he was capable of building. There are folks who believe Bush and Cheney should have negotiated with Yassir Arafat, one of the worlds worst terrorists. There are those who believe Bush and Cheney should not have crippled Iran's economy to hurt their ability to go nuclear. I disagree. Bush and Cheney made mistakes here at home, and the strategy in Iraq was flawed for a time, but President Bush, with the Vice President's advice, made tough decisions which have turned out to be the right decisions. Thank God for people like George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, and Paul Wolfowitz.

Translation: I am a neo-con and want to rule the world

I love how the libertarian RINOs love to call everyone who believes in American leadership globally a neo-con. As I have said numerous times, I don't want the U.S. to police the world. I don't believe we should intervene in every conflict. In fact, I think we should minimize instances where we have boots on the ground. But, there is a need for American leadership globally in able to ensure a safer world long term. The U.S. should have bases in places like Kuwait and South Korea. The U.S. should not force democracy across the globe, but we should encourage democracy and try to help those who seek democracy when and if we can. We have a solemn obligation to defeat those who wish us harm. That takes hard work, it takes maintaining strong alliances, it takes a strong military and human intelligence capabilities, it takes defeating terrorists and outlaw regimes.

The fact of the matter is, today the U.S. is not seen as a strong leader in the world because under President Obama, we have not been there for our allies all the time. We have weakened our alliances with nations such as Israel, Germany, and Poland. We've appeased Russia, Cuba, and Iran. The President deserves credit for the surge in Afghanistan, and I happen to believe he made the right decision aiding in the effort to get rid of Gadaphi. Even your pal Rand Paul whined about both of those things. Paul believes we are in the middle east without a declaration of war, we declared war on terror through a vote in congress in 2001, I'm not sure where he's been since then.
 

You can't win a war against a tactic, you will be fighting forever.
