The Tranzi Wilsonian Progressive faction of the GOP is at war with Rand Paul. His calls for the GOP to return to its historical cautious foreign policy stances. This has angered the Nation Builders who want the US to get into WWIII with everyone. They are now planning to politically destroy Rand Paul.

The long knives are out for Rand Paul. The period in which the most hawkish Republicans eyed the junior senator from Kentucky warily is over.

As one GOP bundlertold Time, “we’ll be ready to take Paul down.” The money men may not have started yet, but their print-and-pixels auxiliary has already mobilized against him.

The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubinwarns of an interview that will “haunt” Paul, whom she decried as “far, far out of the mainstream.” Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal decried the senator’s “bark-at-the-moon lunacy about Halliburton” andsuggested his nomination would deliver Republicans “another humbling landslide defeat.”

These slimeballs will discover Rand Paul is no pushover and he has the pulse of the country. Americans and even most Republicans want a foreign policy rooted in reality, not fantasy tales.

Andrew McCarthy goes after John McCain’s foreign policy influence

One of the factors that led to Mitt Romney’s defeat was his support for nation building. Romney had supported the Arab Spring and the Libyan war. Even worse he was openly calling for war with Syria. This stance turned off voters and prevented him from going after Obama on foreign policy. Romney was following the prevailing nation building view of the Republican Establishment.

John McCain’s is the defacto foreign policy leader of the Republican Party. He pushes the nation building/interventionist worldview on the rest of the Party. Up and coming Republicans like Kelly Ayotte and Marco Rubio parrot his views. Anyone who question the nation building/interventionist views of McCain and the Establishments is labeled Isolationist or an anti-Semite. Andrew McCarthy picks apart John McCain and the establishment foreign policy philosophy.

I wonder if the jihadists of eastern Libya are still “heroes” to John McCain. That’s what he called them — “my heroes” — after he changed on a dime from chummy Qaddafi tent guest to rabid Qaddafi scourge.

See, the senator and his allies in the Obama-Clinton State Department had a brilliant notion: The reason the “rebels” of eastern Libya hated America so much had nothing to do with their totalitarian, incorrigibly anti-Western ideology. No, no: The problem was that we sided with Qaddafi, giving the dictator — at the insistence of, well, McCain and the State Department — foreign aid, military assistance, and international legitimacy. If we just threw Qaddafi under the bus, the rebels would surely become our grand democratic allies.

[….]

This week, while the guys the senator and the Obama administration aligned us with in Libya (and would like to align us with in Syria) were busy taking Americans and other foreigners hostage in Algeria, in addition to using Qaddafi’s arsenal to fight the French in Mali, McCain was working his magic in Cairo.

An unfortunate hiccup: McCain and his entourage, including fellow Libya hawk Lindsey Graham, showed up on President Mohamed Morsi’s doorstep just as it was revealed that Morsi, while a top Muslim Brotherhood official in 2010, had inveighed against Jews, calling them “blood-suckers” and “the descendants of apes and pigs” and claiming it was incumbent on Egyptians to “nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred” toward them.

[…]

Not to worry: McCain & Co. have promised to go to bat for Egypt’s swell president. Sure, he has imposed a sharia constitution just as crazies like Michele Bachmann predicted the Muslim Brotherhood would do if it took power. That would be the same sharia that, less than two years ago, McCain condemned as “anti-democratic — at least as far as women are concerned.” Back then, McCain was warning that the Brotherhood had to be kept out of the government if there was to be any hope for democracy in Egypt. After all, he explained, the Brothers “have been involved with other terrorist organizations.”

Now, however, McCain says he will push for American taxpayers to fork up another $480 million for Morsi. Or, to be accurate, borrow another $480 million.

Michele Bachmann to her credit along with Rand Paul are the only 2 Republicans standing up to the Nation Building/Interventionist Wilsonian foreign policy of the GOP.  Outlets suck as Hot Air repeat the lies of John McCain and push his views onto the rest of Conservatives. It is time for the GOP to ditch nation building and adopt a national interest based foreign policy. They should listen to Andrew McCarthy and not the senile Senator from Arizona.

Mitt Romney should change his stance on Syria

I give Mitt Romney credit for smashing the image of Obama as the wise philosopher/god-king during the debate last Wednesday. Whether Obama wins or loses, people no longer look at him as a deity but just another politician. Romney has gotten a bounce in the polls and the race is back to toss up.

On Monday Mitt Romney gave a foreign policy speech to Virginia Military Institute. Instead of offering a new foreign policy based on economic interests and realism, he promotes the same failed Wilsonian policies that both Bush and Obama have promoted. His main theme was intervention in Syria.

Mitt Romney does not understand the situation in Syria. He views it as some revolt for democracy but that is not the case. The Syria conflict pits the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda vs. the Assad Regime, Iran and Hizb’Allah. The goal of the rebels is to establish another Islamic emirate then join up with other Islamist states like Egypt and form the Caliphate. That is their end game and the United States should not assist them in that goal.  Disappointingly, Mitt Romney supports helping the Syrian rebels, despite acknowledging they are Islamists.

The president has also failed to lead in Syria, where more than — more than 30,000 men, women, and children have been massacred by the Assad regime over the past 20 months. Violent extremists are flowing into the fight. Our ally Turkey has been attacked. And the conflict threatens stability in the region.

[…]

he greater tragedy of it all is that we are missing an historic opportunity to win new friends who share our values in the Middle East — friends who are fighting for their own futures against the very same violent extremists and evil tyrants and angry mobs who seek to harm us. Unfortunately, so many of these people who could be our friends feel that our president is indifferent to their quest for freedom and dignity. As one Syrian woman put it, “We will not forget that you forgot about us.”

[…]

In Syria I’ll work with our partners to identify and organize those members of the opposition who share our values and then ensure they obtain the arms they need to defeat Assad’s tanks helicopters and fighter jets. Iran is sending arms to Assad because they know his downfall would be a strategic defeat for them. We should be working no less vigorously through our international partners to support the many Syrians who would deliver that defeat to Iran, rather than sitting on the sidelines. It’s essential that we develop influence with those forces in Syria that will one day lead a country that sits at the heart of the Middle East.

The war in Syria is not in America’s interest. Most Americans realize this and oppose involvement. Mitt Romney is taking neither a popular position nor the correct one. This is a pissing match between the Muslim Brotherhood/al-Qaeda against Assad/Iran/Hizb’Allah. Both sides are evil and we should stand back and let them kill each other. The Syrian rebels are doing well without us with the assistance they are receiving from Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Any weapons we give them will eventually be used against us.

Turkey is not an ally. They are ruled by the AKP who are an affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood. Erdogan is a Neo-Ottoman and envisions a Caliphate led by Turkey. He is a bad character and as vile as Assad or the Ayatollahs. If Turkey wants to get involved in Syria they can do it on their own. Turkey’s goal is another Islamist emirate friendly to them and the Muslim Brotherhood. Today’s Turkey is not the same nation that was our cold war ally. That is outmoded thinking and we should not view them as a friend.

On September 11th 2001 we were attacked by al-Qaeda. They are an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. It would be an injustice to those who died on 9/11 to support the same organization and its ideological allies in Syria. In memory of the dead of 9/11, Mitt Romney should reconsider his stance on Syria.

Andrew McCarthy warns Romney over Syria

As much as I am impressed with Mitt Romney’s gloves off campaign with the American Pharaoh, there is one thing that irks me. For some reason, to appear tougher than Obama, Mitt Romney wants to invade and install an Islamist regime in Syria. I am no fan of the Assad regime, but the Muslim Brotherhood is not a better alternative. The Syrian war is Iran/Hizb’Allah/Assad Regime vs. Muslim Brotherhood/Al-Qaeda fighting out. Both sides are enemies of the US. Under normal circumstances we would sit by and let them destroy each other. Unfortunately there is a transnationalist Wilsonian Progressive clique that controls the foreign policy of both parties.

Mitt Romney is listening to the Tranzis who want to install another Islamic regime with American treasure and blood. The majority of Americans don’t want intervention in Syria, yet Romney is pushing this. Andrew McCarthy, who has taken on the Tranzi Pro-Islamist Wing of the GOP warns Mitt. He writes that there will be no good result for American intervention in Syria.

Congratulations to Mitt Romney. In calling for “opposition groups” to be armed and trained for their ongoing jihad against Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, the GOP’s presidential contender has managed to align himself with al-Qaeda emir Ayman al-Zawahiri and Muslim Brotherhood icon Yusuf al-Qaradawi.

Like the legacy media, the McCain wing of the Republican party, and the rest of Washington’s progressive, Islamophilic clerisy, Governor Romney is reacting to a regime-engineered massacre last week. Assad’s forces reportedly killed 108 Syrians in Houla, a rural enclave outside the “opposition” city of Homs. Victims included women and children shot at close range, in summary-execution style.

 Yes, Assad’s minority Alawite Muslim regime is a key ally of Iran’s revolutionary Shiite-supremacist government. That does not alter the stubborn fact that the anti-Assad “opposition groups” are dominated by Sunni supremacists. Stubborn facts cannot be evaded by clever labeling — “opposition groups” in Syria having become the euphemism du jour that “rebels” was in Libya, “peaceful protesters” in Egypt, “uprisings” in Tunisia, and so on. 
[….] 

The Muslim Brotherhood, leader of the Sunni supremacists, has a hammer-lock on the Syrian National Council (SNC), the main opposition group the Obama administration has been courting — with the McCain wing cheering from the sidelines. Meanwhile, as trumpeted on the Brotherhood’s website, Sheikh Qaradawi has been organizing Syria’s Islamist revolt for months, reprising the starring role he is playing in Egypt. Al-Qaeda — whose help the Brotherhood is happy to have when it is expedient, as it was in Libya — put its muscle into the Syrian revolt months ago.

[….]

Washington can idealize the Syrian “opposition” into liberty-loving freedom-fighters; to Syrian Christians, they are the jihad. With churches being torched, families being terrorized by kidnappings and murders, and thousands of believers being put to flight

[….]

What Obama has been smart enough to do, at least to this point, is refrain from direct military aid, undoubtedly realizing that he would be blamed when, inevitably, it became clear that American arms went to America’s enemies. But McCain and the Brotherhood goaded the president into using force in Libya — where the victorious “rebels” quickly installed sharia law and parceled out Qaddafi’s arsenal to Hezbollah, Hamas, and al-Qaeda. Another misadventure in Syria, it seems, is only a matter of time.

In their anxiety over our nation’s future, conservatives see the upcoming November election as a make-or-break crossroads. Thus, the Right’s indifference to Mitt Romney, the only alternative to Obama’s reelection, is striking. But it is not bewildering, and stories like Syria’s go a long way toward explaining it. Desperation to avoid the third Carter term does not translate into enthusiasm over the specter of the third Bush administration.

Andrew McCarthy once again exposes the Islamist sympathies of Bi-Partisan elites in Washington. Once again the elites from the comfort of their homes want to send Americans to die in another war for Islamic Democracy. After 11 years of nation building, Americans in both parties have had enough. Mitt Romney has a golden opportunity to stand up to the Tranzi Progressive Wing of the GOP. Instead he is spouting their Pro Muslim Brotherhood  rhetoric.

If Mitt Romney wants a successful Presidency, besides governing as an economic/fiscal Conservative, he needs to stay out of Syria. Many Conservatives have learned the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan. If Romney goes to war in Syria, his Presidency will be toast.

Americans are tired of Dhimmitude to Islamic interests!
