The speech contained numerous references to Winston Churchill and Cotton compared the current foreign policy moment to the prelude to World War II. He articulated a litany of national security threats, ranging from Iran to North Korea to Russia, but the speech was notable for the hard line it took on a question now threatening to divide Capitol Hill Republicans as they try to write a 2017 budget: Is it more important to control federal spending or strengthen the national defense?
Cotton was clear: America must have "such hegemonic strength that no sane adversary would ever imagine challenging the United States. 'Good enough' is not and will never be good enough." That strength, he said, should come at whatever the necessary costs. While the budget must be slashed, it should not be balanced on the backs of the military. “Our enemies and allies alike must know that aggressors will pay an unspeakable price for challenging the United States," Cotton said. "The best way to impose that price is global military dominance.”Again, a typical Kristol wind up, with no attempt to explain this view in the face of US disasters,
The only question remaining is: Who will play this Q-tip on Saturday Night Live?

I live in Arkansas. I have never voted for a democrat. Mostly R's but I stopped that sometime back. I have to say this guy is a total embarrassment. He reminds me of Bill O'Rilley who Arkansans foolishly elected to political office.
