Pro-Colonialism is a Republican Value.
Damn. That explains Iraq AND Afghanistan.

NOW I get it.



Colonialism

Colonialism is a practice of domination, which involves the subjugation of one people to another. One of the difficulties in defining colonialism is that it is difficult to distinguish it from imperialism. Frequently the two concepts are treated as synonyms. Like colonialism, imperialism also involves political and economic control over a dependent territory.

2. These guys have been "taking up the White Man's burden" since
before Newt was even married to his first wife.

3. Forget Iraq and Afghanistan for the moment; it explains Appalachia in this country.
