What if the right becomes the anti war party?

So where does that leave the marginals who continue to desire peace above all? Looking around the political spectrum, we begin to realize that the only other group that will stand with us in opposing the wars are the libertarians and various paranoid right wingers afraid of growing government and international entanglements (affectionately referred to as Paultards here). This thinking informs the American Conservative article, which attacks long time Obama ally Samantha Powers for being a war hawk, although her reasons are humanitarian and not neocon/geopolitical in nature. She wants US intervention for human rights, she hails the brutal bombing of the Serbian people in the 1990s and wants to see the same tactics deployed against the Sudan, and other human rights violators. Doubtless, the article was published mainly because it attacked an Obama Administration official, but the person who wrote it is closer to me than any Democrat who would support any American assault on countries posing no threat to the US.

American politics only has 2 kinds of citizens ..
Those who want what others can give & those who want to be left alone ..

How do you use a tool created for control

To leave people alone?

If government exists, it uses force against the people over which it claims dominion. Government can not exist and leave people alone, let alone exist specifically for the purpose of leaving people alone.

Ralph Nader has always been there for the marginalized.

they'd be lying... and nobody'd buy it.

no credibility... and i think the public is starting to realize that both parties suck... they both support war and bailouts; not to mention THEIR ALL KEYNESIANS.

Hmmm...

During Clinton, the GOP was against going into Bosnia. I don't see it happening though, unless somehow we beat the NeoCons. If 1207 succeeds, we will have political capital, and we could use that to forward non-interventionism.

Not all the GOP

McCain being one notable exception
