If you think Democrats don't support the "military industrial complex" also, you are hateful and naive.

Before throwing stones, you should come to the realization that Democrats start more wars than Republicans. Dems deal as many no-bid contracts with Haliburton as Reps. Democrats profit just as much if not more than Republicans from aircraft and arms manufacturers. Don't lie to yourself, not to mention us.

Because it sounds good and the average Republican-voting conservative doesn't understand the military industrial complex. They just wanna go and bomb some brown people in a place where they will likely never visit or even find on a map.

* Conservatives like to think they are tough. So spending money on weapons is ok by them.

* Conservative don't believe government spending can create jobs, but they think cutting government military spending destroyes jobs. It's a disconnect.

So those are two reasons, but if they truly fear the government new world take over, they are funding the very entity they think will do it.

Big Government needs big funding, big funding means more taxes. More taxes and bigger govt. means less freedom. less freedom, more taxes, bigger govt. means more people on welfare, more poor, more taxes to take care of the poor, Cons getting tired of being robbed to pay for the poor, they stop working, big govt. collapses, the poor start rioting because because there is no one to pay them and they turn to animals and start killing and robbing us cons for what we worked for and saved. But big govt. took our guns away so we can't defend ourselves. We are killed and eaten by the libs.

Eventually, a few libs learn to take care of themselves and feed themselves but they don't have enough to share and they then say that others don't have a right to what they worked for so now we have a new generation of cons that will work and grow and build the county so another generation of libs can come along and live off them.

1) Military spending is less than 20% of the federal budget.

2) "Big government" means more than just spending.

Because that big government is taking most of its toll out on foreign countries.

Because they think what they are told to sleep.
