I don't wholly disagree with your last sentence (that is why I said it was more polemicism than analysis), although I think it does point out the ideological feuds. It is entertaining polemicism though, and quite well done.

Article was interesting in the sense the author did a good job of illustrating all the things he didnt like about Buchannon. Or Raimondo. Or Republicans. Or Conservatives. Or Libertarians.

But, just as Ann Landers isnt a good substitute for a self help coach. Neither do opinion pieces make for comprehensive analysis.

Gotta hand it to those Neo-Cons though. They sure learned how to put on a business suit, after marching through the streets demanding the destruction society and western civilization.

socialists, with a strong tinge of nationalism (gotta love that foreign intervention), who love big business...Hmmm.

Come to think of it, upon reflection. Neo-Cons sound a little like the olde time left oriented wing of Fas...ah...nevermind.

I'm not here to convince you of anything though. Have a good evening.
