Want to depose the government of a poor country with resources? Want to bash Muslims? Want to build support for American military interventions around the world?

My thing is, I don't get in nobody's business or nothing like that or try to bash anybody for what they do. I've got cousins who are gay. To me, there's just no difference. We always chill and have family functions the way we always have. It's not a problem.
