Foreign Entanglements

"The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. ..." - George Washington

Our founding fathers believed that we should avoid and minimize foreign entanglements. Now all that we have are foreign entanglements.

Increasingly we receive much of our goods and food from foreign sources.

Our businesses and factories are located in foreign lands.

Our businessmen have proved to be poor ambassadors cheating foreign workers and subjecting them to unhealthy working conditions.

Our government owes vast sums to foreign governments.

The world bank dictates our foreign trade policy.

We have prisons in foreign countries where we violate habeas corpus and commit acts of torture.

We practice regime change, toppling foreign governments.

With these policies we have betrayed the intention of our founding fathers and made our people's future dependent upon world events.
