Don't forget -- liberals have always been into a smaller military. Clinton half-crippled our military; the full effects of his damage are really beginning to be felt. So ... if we're supposed to be capable of a multi-theater war, which military should we use to fight it? The "1.5 Global Conflicts" doctrine appeared during the Clinton Era, you see.
(sigh) In all honesty, conservatives can be just as bad. My parents are blindly conservative, for example. They're not Mullholland-psycho, but they're pretty far out, and totally closed towards left-leaning opinions. It's kind of sad; I agree with them on most of politics, but for often largely different reasons. Weird.
On your dissolving friendship -- I have an idea what that's like. I was dating a girl about a year ago, fairly far down the path towards buying a nice ring. I put my promising Navy career on the line, in fact, in order to ensure I could stay in the area to promote a good relationship. ... Watching "Bowling for Columbine" opened my eyes to the fact that we ... had some political differences. She believed MM seriously enough to make "red ufo" seem pretty sane. It just went downhill from there.
(sigh) Oh, well.
