Ted Cruz, Bill Lee, and Rand Paul are isolationists, per Jennifer Rubin, the in-house neocon at the Washington Post. Throw in Sarah Palin, too. The senators and former governor want nothing more than two briny oceans to defend the nation from the world's predators and cutthroats. Heck, maybe they don't even want militias.
Palin and the three rising conservative stars are secret America Firsters. "Lindbergh" is their password. Shhh!
Hands up, guys and gal, Jennifer Rubin's outed you.
It's more like Rubin tarred y'all, pinning America First buttons on your lapels all by her lonesome, to the gloating approval of Barack's buddy, John McCain, and his sidekick, Lindsey Graham (Tonto to the neocons). You see, Cruz, Lee, Paul, and Palin believe that intervening in Syria serves no American national security interest. Rubin, neocon she, thinks that America's national security interest is just about anything the neocons say it is.
National security is just taffy to neocons, to be pulled and stretched to suit whatever intervention they think is useful to American "credibility" or that's humanitarian in character. Neocons have previously identified genuine needs for military action. Let's gladly concede the last, as surely as the senators and Palin would do. The first Gulf War would be an instance, though the war wasn't a humanitarian venture; it served concrete U.S. interests.....

There really is a reason why Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are blowing the GOP reigning establishment completely out of the water when it come to popularity with the American people. You seem to have figured it out, no problem. I just pray more of those on the political right can amass even a fraction of your wisdom and basic common sense.
The writer fails to notice that Obama is arming the people who knocked over the Twin Towers.
“The pity is, our president is NOT an America Firster!”
He is an American fister.
The real nut-job dictator lives in the WH.
But at least - and agree with it or not - there was presented some kind of case that Iraq and Afghanistan mattered to the U.S. national interests, and that there was some definition of what victory was in both cases.
Syria, or even Libya? No such case has even been made, let alone debated.
For the last decade, “Isolationist” has been a term beaten out of all recognizable shape by every NeoCon dipwick with a GI Joe fantasy and no historical or cultural knowledge or even common sense. And that’s when it wasn’t being touted by people who were all but wearing a neon sign saying “I’m on the military industry’s payroll”.
It is completely impossible to continue our policy of endless invasions of Eastasia - ooops, I mean the Middle East - over a pinprick of an attack on 9/11 after decades of us blasting them with nigh-total immunity. We are broke. We are using our military for social fairness experiments. We do not have the spine to really fight a war.
Once again, WMD scaremongering is being used as a primary justification. And this time the ‘war’ will be ‘commanded’ by the stupidest excuse for a human being to ever inhabit the white house. For anyone to still call opponents of this disaster-in-making “isolationist” should instantly earn the response “how much are they paying you?”, said in the most derisive voice imaginable, and additional mockery if after sputtering and swearing said NeoCon reveals that they aren’t even being paid for their shilling.
SPOT ON!!!
