Not any more than Si vis pacem, para bellum does.
A strong United States prevents the law of the jungle from prevailing.
It's absurd to pretend that America lives by the sword. You know better.

This is true. The US rescued the world and recreated it in WW2. Not surprising since our founders conceived of America as an empire of liberty. America is the source of civilization on earth.
Go go go..Fiscal Cliff!
It seems that you are working as hard as you can for an advanced degree in Stupid.

The only thing backing the American dollar is blood and oil. With out our military machine, the world's economy collapses. That is the great lie that your minds have been conditioned by our compulsory education and establishment media for your intellects not to see. It is in the corner of your consciousness, but bread and circuses distract you, because the truth is too terrible to face.
Our enemies see our diversity of opinion as evidence that we are weak and
divided, but it is the very presence of a vibrant marketplace of ideas that
ensures our continued survival. That, and the high-tech weapons that can lock
in on the glint off a scimitar from five thousand miles away.

Yep, people that don't have shit, don't give a shit.
People that have shit, are shitting themselves.
People that work two jobs to barely survive and their only involvement with the stock market is their 401k, don't give a shit about the stock market crashing.
People without healthcare don't care how much you have to pay for yours, of if you even have any. Nor do they care about rationing.
Now the people who have nothing to loose, have now outnumbered those who do, by enough, that those that have cannot spend their way into power anymore.
Let's replace all taxes with a 26% broad-base federal sales tax. To offset the burden on the poor, offer a $50/week rebate for one hour of community service. This offsets the tax on the first $10,000 without being a handout. Local governments can use the manpower as they wish; staffing schools, fixing roads, you name it.
Taking this a step further, the rebate could be adjusted based on need; taking the place of welfare and social security. It would be administered face-to-face at the local level, making it difficult to abuse, and eliminating the need for the IRS.
4. The Left, in fact, doesn't believe in private property at all...and therefore, the collective can take whatever they wish...and call it 'fair share'...or 'taxes.'
another reason conservatives should consider standing back, as suggested here:

Obama won an electoral landslide. The people have said he deserves 4 more years. So, stand down. Voice the ideas why you think wrong, but do nothing to hinder; that's to legislators, not posters.
Give these policies 18 months, then start with questions based on where the economy, unemployment, health care costs, foreign issues are at that point in time.
If all are improving, seems the people did the smart pull of the lever. If not, going to be impossible to paint the problem with the opposition.

What did Lincoln and the republicans called it(taxes)? What did George Washington call it(taxes)?

I agree. Do nothing. Let the negotiated cuts and tax increases kick in. We can test how well Democrat policies work and then let them run on the resulting catastrophe in 2014.
