Alan Farago, Huffington Post - I don't know what die-hard Republicans took away from last night's
GOP primary debate. I saw a dysfunctional family on stage. What
dysfunctional families do, in private, is take old grievances and worry
them to the bone. In doing so, the original source of pain becomes
unrecognizable. History counts for everything and nothing. The story
lines that emerge are shards and fragments of memory and fact.
So it went last night on CNN:
America
and the world is in sharp decline; it is all Barack Obama's fault. It
wasn't a debate. How could it have been? The only policy all eleven GOP
candidates agreed upon is that the United States should bomb Iran so we
can destroy Planned Parenthood at long last.
Interesting that the
party of "personal responsibility" -- that rose out of the Reagan call
for limited government -- has eleven candidates for the highest office
in the land who won't take responsibility for any of the problems
afflicting our economy and national security.

GOP Christians want to nuke a Muslim country. Antisemitism is determinative but because Israel shares this dream, it's ok antisemitism, like saying Obama is Muslim. Obama well understands that tightening the grip on Europe is essential to dismantling Russia, the number one target. Here there is a conflict between bankers' interests and the antisemites. As Chomsky says, the GOP is not a party but an insurgency. Derived from the old South, actually a civil war is intended with electoral success correlated to defeat of the North, described as JFK nation, going back to the abolitionist Adams tradition.
