All the current crop of GOP front-runners for the nomination for prez are all but jumping up and down and screaming about how much they would like a war with Iran. The one thing guaranteed to make yours truly hold his nose while filling in the arrow for the Dems yet another time, and the one thing that could lose them a significant chunk of the "Both Sides" bamboozled swing voter (though one should never entirely discount the rank, abysmal ignorance of the white working-class voter)! I'm starting to think think they take st00pid pills when they get up in the morning. <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/inside-the-gop-clown-car-20150812" rel="nofollow">Or maybe they really are just out of their fucking minds</a>.Mister Robotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08724938709642010624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-69270646849146983002015-08-12T22:44:06.819-05:002015-08-12T22:44:06.819-05:00Don't call him Jeb!

In many cases, the equivalence is indeed false, but I see foreign policy as one of the two areas where the two parties <i>are</i> closest to equivalence; the other area is subservience to the rich.<br /><br />However, the first can be seen as a subset of the second. I see the purpose of U. S. foreign policy, at least since 1945, as securing the access of the USAmerican and multinational corporations--which own the Federal Government--to cheap labor and natural resources by any means necessary. I see the two parties as differing not in basic goals, but only in strategy and tactics--the Dems understand that the Full Metal Barbarian approach does not always work best; the GOP finds that fact difficult to grasp.<br /><br />To his credit, Obama is showing some signs of actually being disgusted with his role as Chief Enforcer for Global Capital, or perhaps he is just understandably irritated with Nuttyyahoo. (Israel is to the USA what North Korea is to China--a belligerent, assholish client state the hegemon would probably be better off without.)Ivory Bill Woodpeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318699512583970467noreply@blogger.com
