In this day and age, not having a standing army is just asking the other governments to attack us. What do you propose as an alternative?
I fail to see how what he said is in opposition to that. Can you clarify what you mean?
Actually, his exact words (which you quoted above) was "conservatives", not Republicans. While we typically associate conservatism with the Republican party, we all know there are plenty of leftist Republicans out there, just itching to go along with the Dems (e.g. McCain).
Look, I know nothing about this guy, apart from what was posted here, but if we're going to talk about him, let's at least do it honestly.

Esaias has an incredible gift of knowing everything about everybody. Perhaps he did not consider that Ryan's reference to national security had more to do with the border than anything. When you have an open border and anarchy reigning in major cities, that is indeed the time to focus on national security lest we are overthrown by a mob that hates the Declaration of Independence that Esaias cited.
