I mean, when you've got Liz Cheney and William Kristol as your frontmen, you might as well call the group 'Nepotism Survivors Anonymous' and give up. Not that they won't get plenty of coverage from the conservative media, but that's just to be expected. No one outside the Beltway gives a flying one about the opinions of Cheney or Kristol, for the very simple reason that reality-free neo-conservatism isn't that popular as an ideology these days.

Its "ideology" is comprised of the most sensible set of moral (as in moral of the story) principles. Is the power of the state that irresistable, or are the representatives of the state that effective? Other than the internet, I rarely hear or read anyone criticizing Obama Democrats and the GOP in the same breath. Thank you TAC. That being said, I'm not so sure that Obama's realism vis-a-vis Afganistan can be accurately described as realistic except in political terms. Why has the hard right always been such a lonely place?

And he is a proud adherent to all things Canadian. http://www.michaeljfox.org/newsEvents.cfm Except, um, the medical thing... and the um career thing... oh, and the national defense thing. Other than those, I guess the Canadians have one of the best systems in the world. Obama could learn a thing or two from those Canadians, and those Norwegians, and such. George Soros made his money betting against the pound. Maybe he can teach Obama to bet against the dollar, and then we can be like the brits, and US foreign power will be increasingly less relevant on the world stage. I know the russians and the chinese would appreciate that. Michael J Fox is Canadian. And he is a proud adherent to all things Canadian.

Who can take these people seriously? Charles Krauthammer as military pundit would be funny if it weren't so vile. What does an ex-Canadian Psychiatrist know about warfare?
