From Eric Dondero:

Chuck DeVore has been identified as one of the most libertarian members of the California State Assembly. He's currently running in the GOP primary for US Senate against moderate-to-conservative business tycoon Carly Fiorna.

Yesterday, DeVore wrote an editorial in the Washington Times, outlining his foreign policy views. He took a "3rd way" approach. He shuns Ron Paul-style isolationism and recognizes the unique threats to the US from Islamic radicals overseas. But at the same time, DeVore has a great concern for the American taxpayer. As such he rejects what's commonly referred to as nation-building "NeoConnism."

You might call DeVore's unique approach, for lack of a better term, "Kick the shit out of them, and then get the hell out."

From the Washington Times "Right should fasion own foreign policy":

Maintaining defense spending at current levels will be difficult, as federal entitlement spending and debt service have put pressure on budget writers.

Employing conventional forces in pursuit of terrorists and guerrilla forces is always an expensive proposition. Attempting to build nations on soil not yet fertile to the concepts of democracy and national unity is even more problematic. Neither is needed to produce the result we want: deadly consequences for attacking Americans. This can be done with special forces, drones and better human intelligence.

Our Founders understood that threats to our Constitution come from within and without. That's why our elected officials and military officers swear an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Our national security policies must reflect this oath, being humble enough not to try force the world into our image, but at the same time understanding, as Reagan did, liberty's compelling hold on the human spirit.

Assmb. DeVore is an Officer in the Army Reserves.
