Sarah Palin, True Blue Republican
by digby
This is the usual Palin babble but it accurately expresses how the Republican mind works in these matters:
Now, as a military mom, I am always loathe to see a deployment of our troops…
Trust me, I mean some days, okay, some days I wake up thinkin’ maybe I’m the conservative version of Cindy Sheehan. Once in a while I’ve thought that…
Under this commander-in-chief, Barack Obama, I really thought, you know, no, no boots on the ground…
But times are different today since this utter chaos has ensued, it’s been on President Obama’s watch…
I sincerely don’t want to see us have to go back to Iraq…
It’s imperative that we put a stop once and for all to ISIS. It must be the goal here…
They’re far, far too dangerous to leave unchecked…
Who could do this? If not God’s hand of protection that we ask for, the only force that can accomplish this, President Obama, is the United States military.
Don’t ever think that given the chance they won’t wrap themselves in the flag and send in the troops. That’s one of the pillars of their philosophy — you can fix everything if you just apply enough violence. If you combine that with the liberal impulse to try to fix everything with good intentions, you get a majority that will almost always endorse American intervention.
