The Real Pro-Americans and The Real Anti-Americans
No, I am not anti-American. Rather, those who hold the views expressed here are the real pro-Americans, imploring Americans to consider that their government has no constitutional authority to maintain an overseas empire, that they themselves cannot afford to pay for it to do so, and that its attempts to do so at their expense are putting them in far greater danger than would otherwise be the case. Those who cheer on this empire-building at other people's expense, financially and otherwise, are false friends. They are the real anti-Americans.
