Don’t freak! Yes I am pressing an article by the American Conservative…..while I may not agree with them on many issues they do have some good analysts with the courage to bucking the GOP….
2016 will be the election of the field of foreign policy and most of the GOP candidates are nothing but novices in the field…..the only one that has some props in the field is Lindsey Graham (not a fan of his foreign policies) but beyond that the rest of the field is moronic.
Next to Trump and Carson, Christie is babbling…..nothing coherent ever comes out of his mouth (this may not be a problem since most Americans are not that interested)…..
Christie made some silly claims about foreign policy recently:“I think that foreign policy is all about, at first blush, the personality of the people executing that foreign policy,” he said.

and may I add: “Nor all that much “Aware” either since their predisposition generally seems to be to seek instant gratification in all things material and mundane, to be obsessed with the next social entanglement, the method by which to get zonked out of their gourds and a permanent warm place in which to relieve internal pressures brought on by colonic spasms? — I am not speaking of the relative few with common sense and some credible education, mind you … but I am speaking of most of the over-the-edge and usually obese and/or pampered generale generica of the genre — dressed in their slouchy best and uttering mindlessness over hot toddies, cocktails and … God forbid … beer down in coonskin cap country or in the “Hootin’ Hollers” of the nether regions … the swamplands … the highest of the high plateaus where no other form of civilization ever goes ….but notwithstanding all this … they are still Americans … (choke, hack, wheeze) … and you gotta love ’em children that they are!
It is sad….something that could impact their family and they had rather worry about some silly mundane Reality show…..than x for your thoughts….chuq
So, the upshot is, a bunch of GOP fools haven’t a clue as to Foreign Policy?
What else is new?
Sorry, just need to keep pounding my point…. Nothing, that is to say, nothing in any of today’s political scene makes any rational sense, nor does it have any chance of ever doing so. Politicians in this country, and every other country in the world, have no clue as to ANYTHING worth knowing about Reality…. If they did, they couldn’t be doing what they do….
But people seem to enjoy the show, so, more power to ’em…
“…the person that had took a bull by the tail once had learnt sixty or seventy times as much as a person that hadn’t, and said a person that started in to carry a cat home by the tail was getting knowledge that was always going to be useful to him, and warn’t ever going to grow dim or doubtful.” –Tom Sawyer Abroad

Dems are not the sharpest pencils in the box either……we elect lawyers instead of people that know what international relations is all about……we elect people that sleep with the M-IC regularly….both parties…..chuq
