A SILVER LINING FOR THE REST OF US

The controversies in the GOP nomination race have served not only to give unusual prominence to a non-interventionist approach to foreign policy, they have also increased the acceptable limits of critiques of capitalism and the conservative gasbags have had to adapt to this new reality.  Of course, "adapt" here means that Hannity didn't call Rick Perry a Marxist. :-)

Charles Krauthammer just had a laudatory piece in Wapo on Ron Paul's positive contribution to foreign policy.

But he realizes that Ron Paul will not run independent and help Obama because that would hurt his son Rand's chances in the GOP.

Rand is depicted as "more moderate"
(less anti-Israel.)

I read all this negatively---as the Lobby believing they can neuter Rand Paul.
