Maintain strong defense; don't scale back anti-terrorism

We must maintain a strong national defense and also promote democracy and freedom where we can when we can.

I agree with Gov. Chris Christie's rebuke of those who want to scale back our anti-terror efforts. It is vital that our government institutions have the resources and ability to do their jobs aimed at protecting us. Our free society is dependent on our national security.

Defense hawk and foreign-policy interventionist

Bell, an eloquent and ardent pro-lifer, defense hawk, and foreign-policy interventionist, ties nearly every issue he's asked about back to the destructive power of paper money. "Washington's political elites and Wall Street's financial elites are deathly afraid that cutting off the dollar printing press will hasten a new financial crisis," the letter goes on. "They may well be right. [Meanwhile], the U.S. economy is trapped in a bleak landscape and the middle class continues to be ground down."
