Obama behaves like a centrist who leans tentatively left on certain social programs but boldly right on military force and civil liberties Picture Quote #1

The true use of history, whether civil or military, is not to make man clever for the next time, it is to make him wise forever Picture Quote #1

The Cold War provided justification for a larger peacetime military, since we were never really at peace, or so the argument went Picture Quote #1
