    So what i'm getting from this is that US military, arms And support of friendlies around the world is what's more important than basically anything.

    (1 question I always have here is, is there ANY limit to this expense? 500 billion, a trillion 2 trillion? X% of GDP? per country? per conflict?
    "Whatever it takes" seems a bit irresponsible to me.)

    So what i'm getting from this is that "obstructing" the kinds of things conservatives say they DO NOT want is bad, if it hinders govt "governing" the people overall.
    The details don't really matter that much, the government machine/operations should not be obstructed in general.
    That's bad for America somehow.

    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
    Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God.
