200 Years Later, The Monroe Doctrine Is Still The Best Protector Of U.S. Interests

Federalist-

President James Monroe articulated what later became known as the Monroe Doctrine in his seventh annual message to Congress on Dec. 2, 1823. Its topic was the collapse of the Spanish Empire and the subsequent rise of independent nations in Latin America. Henry Clay and other leading statesmen saw this as an opportunity to push American-style republicanism abroad.

President Monroe and Secretary of State John Quincy Adams took a more cautious stance. Monroe declared a policy of neutrality in the wars between Spain and the newly independent republics of Latin America.

He also promised not to interfere with existing European colonies or the affairs of the Old World, warning that any European attempt to reassert control over those republics would be treated “as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States.” The Western Hemisphere would be off limits to any European nation that wished to maintain amicable relations with the United States. more here

  1. John effin kerry should’ve been over during the Vietnam war. He’s been a traitor since I was a Senior in HS in 1971 when he was still a Reserve Navy Officer and took part in the Paris Peace Accords to end that damned war. I have never had any respect for this bastard.

Monsieur Jean Fraud Gigilo Goodhair, the not-too-swift-boat, dumbed-down, medal-tossing, flip-flopping, self-absorbed, precognitive Global Warming meteorologist, official Jihad Coddler, and Politically Correct, gold-digging Easter Island fashion model with Churchill Downs Syndrome who iz the most arrogant, condescending Moisturizing-Metrosexual Moron that ever occupied the State Department!

  3. And so Mr Future Glue-Stick… you are a Fluke of the Universe.
You have no right to be here.

    Go placidly amid the noise and waste. And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece of a hedge fund.
    Avoid brilliant and strong persons.
    Inflate your record.
    Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself (even though in your own mind there be none) and heed well their advice, even though they be imbeciles.
    Know Hu to bow to…..and Wen!
    Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that THREE…do.
    Whenever possible, avoid decisions.
    Exaggerate your achievements and cloak your plans in “Transparency”.
    Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment, despite the changing fortunes of time, there will always be a big future in tax write-offs.
    Strive at all times to lie, deceive, seal records and destroy emails.
    Whilst you wallow in vast fields of Bullshit, remember the USS Gridley!
    Know yourself. If you need help, call Madam Nguyen Thi Binh.
    Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
especially with those persons closest to you – that two-faced, two Americas rat-bastard John Edwards for example.
    Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would drown your shallow, wind-surfing ass!
    May the Moose flies of time forever infest your Cape Cod fillet sandwiches.
    Hire Imams with hooks and sing Sheik Yerbouhti.
    For a good time, call 1-800-606-4311. Ask for Alex.
    Take heart, in the deepening gloom, that your wife is finally getting enough Gin.
