Obama was just getting flexible with Putin, helping him install his puppet. Obama is a traitor, but don't count on our "patriotic" leftist friends to hold him accountable. They have 0 standards and will give anyone colliding with America's enemies that's a democrat a total pass. This is why you can't take the Russian trolls pushing the Russia hacked the election meme seriously.
Its mostly because they are either useful idiots or Russian trolls. Have you ever met a patriotic liberal? I haven't. All they care about is destroying our democracy and attacking our president. The last thing you will ever hear is a collectivist drone speak ill of The Obama. He/she would be instantly branded a racist.
Sen. John McCain, Sen. Lindsey Graham. Aren't neoconservatives liberals ? There's a reason why Republican conservatives refer to neocons as RINO's. I remember another patriotic liberal,,,Rep. Charlie Wilson (lib-D ) He's the guy many on the left confuses being President Reagan. It was liberal Congressman Charlie Wilson who was behind arming the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan.
I screwed that one up, let me try again... Neoconservatives are comprised of Jewish Supremacist Israel Firster's and their useful idiot cohorts and paid off corrupt stooges in Congress who wish to have America fight all of Israel's enemies and spill American blood and spend American treasure in the process. I'll wait for all the useful idiots and Jewish supremacists to throw the anti-semite card my way.
If you happen to believe in free markets, judicial restraint, traditional values, [etc.]… then you are just someone who believes in free markets, judicial restraint and traditional values. There is no personal exaltation resulting from those beliefs. But to be for “social justice” and “saving the environment” or to be “anti-war” is more than just a set of beliefs about empirical facts. This vision puts you on a higher moral plane as someone concerned and compassionate, someone who is for peace in the world, a defender of the downtrodden… In short, one vision makes you somebody special and the other vision does not. These visions are not symmetrical.[…] Because the vision of the anointed is a vision of themselves as well as a vision of the world, when they are defending that vision they are not simply defending a set of hypotheses about external events, they are in a sense defending their very souls – and the zeal and even ruthlessness with which they defend their vision are not surprising under these circumstances. —Thomas Sowell, Intellectuals and Society, found via David Thompson, who has lots of higher education-related links at his blog today.
The neoconservative movement was founded with in the liberal base of the Democratic party by liberal Jews. When the radical left aka "New Left" hijacked the Democratic party during the early 70's many liberals including the vast majority of neoconservatives left the Democratic party and came under the GOP tent. Some patriotic liberals remained with in the Democratic party like Congressman Charlie Wilson. The GOP welcomed the neocons knowing they needed them as allies to stop communist expansion in the world, to defeat the USSR and win the Cold War. The neocons were allies with in the GOP. But after Reagan won the Cold War, the neocons no longer had a purpose.
Of course we don't understand the SUBTLE leftist perspective on this, how when Obama and the Clintons and the DNC were blatantly involved in collusion up to their necks, it's 'nothing to see here' and 'Look! A squirrel!' time but when it's even a totally unverified RUMOR that Trump is remotely looking as if he's been within a lightyear of a possible collusion then it's 'All hate-filled leftists on deck!' time. Yep, it's no doubt something extremely subtle in nature that us Right of Center people just . . . don't . . . get.
Perhaps if I move into my parents basement, put on pajamas, and sip hot chocolate it will make more sense.
Susan Rice has always been a national security risk to America. Why wasn't Susan Rice forbidden from holding any job with in the federal government after 9-11-01 ???
What a bunch of sanctimonious clowns. We have been interfering in other countries' internal affairs for over 120 years and now we're going to whine and get upset because another country has interfered in ours? That's too damn funny. So who did the Russians help, Lying Crooked Hillary who got the most votes or the Grab 'em by the ____ Trump who won the most States?
I think the whole Russian meddling thing is a distraction to keep the people eyes away from the real meddlers, the Israeli's.
