Bush senior kicked Iraq out of Kuwait on the first go round, George W. bush started the second conflict in 2003, neither were democrats.

Hope this link works. There wasnt much of a crowd at his speech....

I was simply comparing the previous administration to Trumps administration as Loeog seems to think Trumps administration has been so forcefully using their military to keep people/countries in line.

Its RACISM people. The world has always been racist, just lately when Obama was president it was at least hidden better. Trump is just making Racism okay again. Its really up to the people if they want to follow that or CHANGE as a whole. Its that simple. The world was built on racism and slavery. If you dont think slavery happens today youre blind. Dont ask me to explain it because it would take way too long to bend/open any of your minds from the brainwashing of the past 50 years. Stop defending Trump unless youre a proud racist. At least those proud racists are honest. Ill give them that...

Agreed, although you seemed to be going a bit heavy on the Democrats. Trump had campaigned on not sending troops to fight in areas that maybe American interests were not being threatened, but American policy on protecting American interests has a long history, although it is somewhat hypocritical. China and India are threats to American interests as far as jobs go, but those countries will not likely be targeted.

My earlier post was taken from a definition of fascism.  
 
The only thing America is missing is a single party, but I suspect Trump would be OK with trying to fix that.

loeog said "1."Everything in the state". The Government is supreme and the country is all-encompasing.     2."Nothing outside the state". The country must grow.     3."Nothing against the state". Any type of questioning the government is not to be tolerated. If you do not see things our way, you are wrong. If you do not agree with the government, you cannot be allowed to live and taint the minds of the rest of the good citizens.     4. "The state use of militarism". It is implied mainly to keep the people and rest of the world in line.     And now the question!     Am I talking about Iraq, Iran, or any middle eastern countries or am I talking about Trump's USA?     Edited by loeog, 2017-08-25 10:10:20"

I''''m not sure if you are talking about a middle eastern Country, but it defiantly doesn''t fit the USA under president trump.  
 
you have a point with point 2 & 4. Trump is a nationalist, that wants his country to excel. I think that''''s a good quality.  
The state use of military has always been a quality of the USA for external applications. Under President Obama the internal application was greatly increased. I doubt Trump has expanded the internal use of the military beyond what Obama had already expanded it to.  
 
point 1 deals with the expansion of government, under which Trump is actively trying to give the control back to the state level and shrink the amount of involvement the federal government has in these issues. The Size of government grew a lot more under President Obama.  
 
I think the fact that there is such a strong anti-Trump movement demonstrates to me that point 3 is not valid for The USA. There is Free speech In the USA, Trump might be Critical of his critics and has every right to be, just like others have a right to be critical of him. If there is any censorship of free speech in the USA, it is mostly on the left.  
 
In conclusion the points that fit the USA the most are 2 and 4. The points That fit Canada the most are 1 & 3. (3 not to the point of death. But there is a Certain amount of tolerance, There is defiantly more censorship than in the USA)

There is One Race and that is the Human race.  
 
I've listened to a lot of Trumps speeches and he has never come across as a racist. In fact there is no proof that he is racist at all. The demoncrats just love to go against his policies by shouting racism, and in doing so they are the ones that Flame the fire of racism. In resent history it is under President Obama where racism started causing destructive riots. Ever since Trump Got elected, It has been the Left that bring race into every issue, and brand every group they disagree with as racist or white supremacist, even if those groups have less than 10% Caucasians. So the Left strokes the Flame of racism by branding people who they don't agree with as racist to try and discredit them.

I am a Republican-or at least I was, prior to 45 getting sworn in-never have I been anything else, and I see Trump as RACIST.  
 
I hope he gets impeached.
