President Obama meet the loyal opposition
Commentary
As a new political era begins, America's most important most vital monthly magazine will be the ready.
To Stand up for America an the West.
To stand up to Islamofacism.
To stand up for Israel
To stand up to anti-Semitism.
What exactly is the meaning of all this? Is Obama aniti-America or anti-West? Is Obama soft on Islamofacism, while appointing Hillary, do I have to wait to be sworn in before I can press the button, for Secratary of Defense might have been ideal from the neo-con point of view, as Secretary of State she is no mean shakes either.
In fact while some of the neo-con personalities may not be in White House the changes in foriegn policy seem more rebranding than retooling. This is actually borne out in the articles on the site that seem to be much less about these issues, than the ecconomic issues.
Why then exactly do the neo-cons want to style themselves as the opposition? The argument over the ecconomy will be around forever, and the fall of the Soviet Union the capitalism conversion of China, shows that nothing ecconomic can't be undone. Israel, however, seems to be at a moment of crisis.
I am in no way implying that neo-cons should abandon their domestic agenda. But, do they really want to define themselves in opposition to the administration that will make so many critical decisions concerning Israel. Or, would it be better to focus on the shared ideals and goals, and save the opposiition for when it is most needed?
Well, whatever these neocons are up to they are making a pretty good that they are not allowing their concern for Israel, affect their loyalties to the United States.
