Normally I spend my time knocking the corporate elites of the Democratic Party, but this time I have some choice words for the rank-and-file Democratic voter.
Let's start with John McCain. A man who has never met a war he didn't like.
Alright. Admit it.
The USA is "significantly challenged" around the globe by rogue countries that have the GDP of either Maryland or Montana.
Russia? That's gotta be at least North Carolina.
North Korea? Rhode Island? We have 3 Naval Battle Groups circling the Peninsula. You tell me, has that ever happened before? China nervous? You betcha.
I'm surprised and disappointed so many here are recommending this essay that promotes outright propaganda from an insidious right wing conservative, neocon and Zionist media outlet called the Weekly Standard.

The Saker has a very good article on the upcoming G20 conference at which Trump and Putin are scheduled for talks on the sidelines. In it he outlines the extremely low possibility that there will be meaningful discussions, mostly due to the intransigence of those that have taken complete control of the Executive Branch of the US government.
Even the most ardent Trump-haters have to admit that DJT has his work cut out for him, in part thanks to the die-hard Trump-haters. One of his campaign promises was to wipe-out ISIS. Many campaign promises were made but two of the most important were to end ISIS and start no more new wars--perhaps ending old one's inspired by Obama-Klinton-Soros.
Remember when neocons were hated and vilified by Democrats? It wasn't that long ago that Democrats considered neocons to be the worst of the worst.
Well, those days are over.
We didn't start this war, Assad did, when he bombed his own people.
That was President Barack Obama at a joint press conference with French President Francois Hollande back in November of 2015. If that didn't ring a bell, it should have. The claim that "Saddam gassed the Kurds" was one of the propaganda points that the Bush team hammered repeatedly in 2002 during the run-up to the Iraq war. US Senator Hillary Clinton made the same claim during her speech supporting the AUMF on October 10, 2002. If it seems like the Neocons in both political parties are using the same playbook, it's because they are.
Those who are concerned that a Hillary Clinton administration will mean expanded US military aggression across the globe, may be closing the barn door after the horse is stolen.
Domestic Conservatism
