Why has the Republican Party suddenly gotten concerned with the rule of law when, for decades, they haven’t given a damn?
Shaun Mullen explains. An excerpt:
So it is no surprise that war fits comfortably with the contemporary Republican embrace of American exceptionalism, neocon saber rattling trumping diplomacy, and rewarding rapacious defense contractors for their profit-making death machines and lavish campaign contributions.
So recent statements from House Majority Leader John Boehner, among other Republican bigs, questioning President Obama’s embrace of the NATO-led mission against Moammar Quadaffi in Libya, as well as more muted criticism of the war in Afghanistan might appear to be a break with the party’s bloody past.
It is not, of course, and is merely yet another manifestation of criticizing everything that Obama says and does.
