Discussion for article #238410
The GOP, by and large is living in the world described by Russian diplomat Vladimir Lukin:
It is in the genes. America has a simple ideology – that there is only one truth in the world, that truth is held by God, and God created the United States to be an embodiment of that truth. So the Americans strive to bring this truth to the rest of the world and to make it happy. Only after that will everything be well. This ideology has a strong influence on their policy. A wise traditionalist and a geopolitical expert, Kissinger had good reason to call such politicians “Trotskyites” for advocating a world revolution, albeit in their own way, but always in the front and in shining armor. This is a tempting ideology and has been professed by different countries at different times, not only the United States.
From an article by Max Fisher:
That law was written and passed by republicons in both houses over White House objections. With out it the deal would have gone to the Senate for ratification. Now they have to come up with 2/3s majorities or it’s a done deal.
“you can eat me if you want Brier Fox but whatever you do please please don’t throw me into that brier patch”
So once again the President wins yet ANOTHER battle of wits against unarmed opponents.
Maybe they’ll read it this time.
