Foreign Agin’ 1

In considering the internal disagreements of the GOP faithful on foreign policy (basically, isolationism vs. all war all the time), Juliette Kayyem identifies the single principle of Republicanism (emphasis added):

How did the party of national security end up so divided on national security? The Republican’s intellectual division, however, has less to do with their own ideology, and more about President Obama’s lack of one. If there is one thing that has united Republicans the last two years it is that they were against whatever Obama was for. So they are cast adrift when they can’t figure out what he wants.

The Republican Party no longer believes in anything, except that they want to be in charge of the pie, so they can consume said pie.
