In the 1950's.. America's so called Golden age, Most of the rest of the industrial world was rebuilding after being bombed and/or overrun by various countries armies. While American Conservatives are after a return to that golden period, they cannot. The divisions in Europe as agreed by the USA/Russia/UK have now gone. Imperial UK has given independence to much of the old empire. The USSR is gone. Billions spent on creating WMD's can never be regained.

The world has moved on. If American conservatives want to regain anything like that past period, they must follow one simple rule. Get over it.

.... and maybe start to spend less than 50% of the countries GDP on the military... which seems more important to them then their own citizens health.
