No, Bannon is the warmonger. Tillerson will just be able to tell them the most lucrative country to invade.

Boom, are you really this filled with hate for this country to believe the nonsense you ate posting?
To be honest, if I believed this country were half as evil as you believe it to be, I would absolutely move my family as far away as possible.

It's my country. I will love my family, educate, vote, volunteer, and debate. I am American.

So then, the Iraq War was justified and an effort of good to you?

What did Tillerson have to do with the Iraq war? As I recall, Hillary voted for it. Trump campaigned touting his opposition to the Iraq war. Many liberals voted for the Iraq war.

Then if I lived in a country that brought me as much shame as you claim, I would move my family out of it in a New York second. What can you possibly be teaching your children while living in such a shameful country.

Take a stance against all the evil actions of the United States and move your children to a country that is much closer to the values you would like to teach your children. That's what I would do.

You're not me. Worry about you and yours. And I take action almost everyday. Peace, compassion, empathy and love is what I teach my children.
Our military actions abroad are no where near the best aspects of this nation, and our Presidents no where near the greatest figures.

I certainly can't argue with the presidents point although I think we've had some simply outstanding presidents. But your cynicism and hatred and yes bigotry towards this country will rub off on your children. That is not good for them growing up in a country that they may soon going to despise.

I have traveled extensively around the world and for the most part I have found most people extremely appreciative of all that America has done. Too bad you have not had a chance to meet and talk with some of those that I have spoken with.

Personally I think your greatest downfall as a thinker is your overwealming desire to simplify all you analyze. I never once said I hate this country. I question its role in world affairs. I question the motive of our leaders. I am ashamed at our greed. I am ashamed that we used the atomic bomb. I am ashamed at the fact that we are responsible for almost 70% of the worlds arms. I am ashamed that over 50% of our discretionary budget is used on military related expenditures.

Liberal heads exploding. He will replace the estimable John Kerry.

For a short reminder, here is Kerry's scholastic record (slightly lower than that of George Bush):

Do you have Secretary Tillerson's transcripts? And what the hell does anyone's academic record have to do with it anyway? Try to stay on message - if you even have a clue what the message is. I noticed that one of my Senators voted for Tillerson, as did Joe Manchin. I watched part of his confirmation hearing and I see no reason why he can't be an effective secretary if president Bann - er Trump doesn't get in his way too much.

And boom your greatest downfall is the lack of any depth of critical thinking, your lack of knowledge of history and your dramatic oversimplification of almost everything.

Being secretary of state requires a significant amount of intelligence. If you don't understand that then you simply don't understand the nature of the job.

If you last questions for you Boom and we should both be done with this subject. What country around the world do you admire? What country around the world would be best to raise your children in?

So when Justice cuts 400 million from the budget, it is safe to say he won't cut the entire DEP, but do you think he will cut their internet services?

The highest form of knowledge… is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world.
