Please cite your evidence that 'Liberals' are pushing for war or confrontation.  Again, I believe in the Constitution and the freedoms contained therein.  Putin, and whoever he has working for him, would like to see us under control.  Standing up for our country and its way of life does not constitute 'pushing for confrontation'.  You cannot appease a dictator or a despot: you can only make it easier for him to conquer you.
