Why I am a Republican. The Democrats love to talk up the European socialist order as a great example of why we need socialism here in America. The leftist or socialist have their utopia because the United States excessively fund NATO and our allies eagerly and enthusiastically allow American taxpayers to shoulder the mounting security problem left by decreases in European defense budgets. Let us remove our armies from Europe. Then sit back as the European socialist paradise embrace yet another socialist dictator and soon the Dogs of War would run wild throughout Europe. So, there is no paradise without peace and there is no European peace without America. If you are looking for proof, try WWI and WWII.
