SALON.COM ^ | 12 FEBRUARY 2015 | SALON.COM

Widely considered to be a leading light on the right in foreign policy and national security, Cotton was naturally given a plum assignment on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

It’s really hard to convince yourself you’re smarter than a military man with a Harvard degree, isn’t it, Loser?

From the article:

“There are plenty of American military officers and national security experts who think hawks like Tom Cotton are dead wrong. People like CIA director John Brennan ....”

I despise sites that won’t let me use the “back” button on my browser. Makes me question everything I just read at that lousy news site.

Sooooo...Sarah Palin didn't go to one of the 'right' schools. And Scott Walker never got a degree... And Liberals call them dangerous.

But now we have a genuine conservative who graduated from Harvard. And he is scary?

I saw those interviews and I'd have to say this SALON article just burned out the BULL$HIT meter.

I though Tom Cotton strongly represented the people's POV.
