Mitt Romney’s Convoluted Foreign Policy
Please, let not this man become president…
There are four competing nations or groups of nations, representing four different ways of ways of life, that are vying to lead the world before the end of this century.
One is the world’s democracies, led by America. Our strategy is based on two principles: free enterprise and individual liberty. These have led us to become the most powerful nation in the history of the world.
China represents a different strategy. Theirs is also based on two principles: free enterprise is one of them. They witnessed the bankruptcy of communism first hand, and have adopted free enterprise like it was their own. As a result, hundreds of millions of their poor have been lifted from poverty. But their second strategic dimension is not freedom, it is authoritarianism.
Another competitor is Russia. Like China, their strategy is also based on authoritarianism. But unlike China, their economic might is derived not from industry, but from energy. They seek to control the energy of the world, filling their treasury and emptying everyone else’s as we pay for what they have in abundance.
The fourth strategy is that of the Jihadists. By means of escalating violence, they intend to cause the collapse of the other three competing visions, dragging the entire world back into a medieval dictatorship ruled by Mullahs and Ayatollahs.
Of these four competing strategies, notice that only one includes freedom. Only if America succeeds will freedom endure. Do not imagine for a single moment that China, Russia and the Jihadists have no intention of surpassing America and leading the world. Each is entirely convinced that it can do so….
…Freedom is threatened not just by those who aspire to world leadership, but also by the rogue and malevolent. North Korea has made it abundantly clear that they are not only intent on perfecting nuclear weapons, but they are contemptuous of the concerns of the United States and the world at large. It was no accident that they launched their missile while the President was addressing nuclear non-proliferation, and executed their nuclear test to coincide with Memorial Day.
Or as the good folks at the New Republic show us in Powerpoint form:
Goodness, this man does not know foreign policy.
So your entire rebuttal is to post somebody else’s work, and then to write one sentence about how he doesn’t know foreign policy?
Ok dude, whatever floats your boat…
*shakes head*
Nick, buddy, dude, conservative guy… please don’t add to the numerous examples I already have of the stupidity of conservatives. I didn’t “post somebody else’s work.” I linked to someone else’s blog, but what I quoted comes from the Mittster himself. Those are his own damning words. That’s not the analysis of the blog I linked to. They say their own words, but if you note carefully I don’t quote them. I add my own, albeit short thoughts.
And yes, when it comes to foreign policy, the Mittster is a dolt, a dumbass. What he just offered us there proves it beyond reasonable doubt.
