We got them because we were the first to build them, and we're pretty lucky that it was us first (though luck had little to do with it). And we deny them to others because some of us believe in the things America stands for (gee, what's your response to that statement going to be?), and keep them out of the hands of people who would use them for tyranny/killing the Jews/to blackmail America/etc. |
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, well, there you right-wingers go again. And some of us DO believe in what America STOOD for, and since Bush can be easily called a radical, your support of him shows you do
not believe in what America "stands for".
Bush is, from many perspectives, a radical and not even Reagan had taken the country in such a radically different direction before, so your cliche of "what America stands for" is little more than an empty slogan. Not surprising coming from you though, espeially since I made no statement but merely asked a question and expected more than a bumper sticker answer. And you haven't answered it.
