He's been a liberal internationalist and those guys can be some pretty aggressive "doves"...

Do we need to resort to ad hominem arguments thrown at each other like kids in a cafeteria food-fight? Are we trying to emulate Trump or what?

And now that we are past the the initial "what are we dealing with" stage, there's no constitutional justification for the shut down of either. And when one is allowed the other should be too. It's dangerous territory for magistrates to venture into.

Certainly authoritarians like their new toy. And they'll use it again.

Most are Machiavellian when it comes to the religious lingo and photo ops. It's not sincere. It's pandering. And it is obvious. The only two in my memory where it wasn't were George W and Jimmy Carter.

Biden, I'm afraid is closer to a Neo-Con, than the Left will admit. Still doubt the Cheney story though.

A real blowout
