An Argument For The Minimal State By A Leading War Hawk

Charles Krauthammer is the reigning neoconservative opinion writer for the Washington Post.  He was one of the strongest supporters for the invasion of Iraq, and he is a frequent panelist on TV talk shows.  In this article he argues that Europe is bad example for the US to follow.  Obama, who the GOP does not recognize as a real American, wants to create the nanny state that has led Europe to ruin.  This is just another example of the tacit agreement among conservative pundits to portray Obama as anti-American, and to blame social welfare programs for the problems in Europe.

Like most conservatives Krauthammer does not like income redistribution or progressive tax policies.  Real American's should be happy to pay for unnecessary and expensive wars.  They want to be strong like fortress America. Only weaklings need help from government.
