Defending the NSA, Praising Obama, Calling for More War . . .

September 4, 2014

. . . attacking Rand Paul for opposing a World War III, praising the bombing of more civilians in the Middle East, believing government can somehow magically be “limited,” sneering at the Jefferson/Washington foreign policy of being wary of “entangling alliances,” warning of an imminent invasion of the United States by the latest Hitler fabrication (“ISIS”).     That’s the latest from establishment “libertarian” Richard Epstein writing for the neocon Hoover Institution.  (Once you’re there at the Hoover Web site you may enjoy the dozens of articles by George Schultz and former Clinton Defense Secretary William Perry arguing for sending American troops to the Balkans, siding with Ukraine and possibly starting a war with Russia, and doubling, tripling, and quadrupling the U.S. nuclear arsenal.  Typical Hoover Institution stuff).
