John
McCain a neocon? Of course. Lindsey Graham? Yep. Rand Paul?

In a column published
Sunday, Roberts claims that Washington’s actions and the media’s compliance are
leading us to another World War.
He
covers many topics in the article; however, I want to look at his analysis of
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
First
he writes about John McCain:
No
one was surprised that the New York Times published on March 14 the
warmongering rant, written by neoconservatives for John McCain, which described
Washington’s aggression in Ukraine as Russia’s aggression.
And
then Rand Paul:
What
surprised some was Rand Paul joining the hysteria. Rand Paul wrote his
propagandistic rant against Russia for Time. Rand Paul claims, falsely, that
Putin has invaded Crimea and that it is an affront to “the international
community.”
As
some Americans have misplaced hopes in Rand Paul, it is just as well that he
revealed in Time that he is just another fool prostituting himself for the
neoconservative warmongers and the military/security complex. If Rand Paul is
the hope for America, then clearly there is no hope.
What
do people that follow Ron Paul say about Roberts column? It’s a mixed bag.
“Rand
footsie game with the NWO is turning my stomach.”
“Can’t
stand Rand , that is my rallying cry. Nuff said.”
“I
don’t think Rand Paul is a neocon, but he’s playing the game to get where
he needs to be so that he can implement his fathers policies.”
“I will
stand with Rand come 2016 ! I’d rather have my cup 95% full then settle for
completely empty. If he took the position of his dad and only tried to appeal
to us he wouldn’t stand a chance in this day and time as we have all found out
. I get what he’s doing here…”
Of
course I think Rand is struggling with an extremely difficult balancing act and
it may not work. However, he’ll likely be the best viable option in 2016 and
will be correct on the issues astronomically more than any other viable
candidate two years from now. Not quite the lesser of two evils.
I
wonder if prominent neocons like Jennifer Rubin or Bill Kristol would subscribe
to Roberts “Rand Paul” thesis?
