As to American foreign policy in general, Hillary is a huge mistake.

McCarthy is obviously blind, deaf, and dumb to the realty of the situation. Perhaps a study nonviolence movements would help. To say that Obama is more comfortable with a totalitarian Islam than a free and open Iran is cynical, jaded, and unfortunately rather louche.

Should read: I just can NOT read Andy Mac’s material anymore; besides, I’m holding off until he prints his texts in their original German.

Personally, I’ll add, I think the boy’s as crazy as Dan Burton, the Indiana congressman who wants a plexiglass shield around the floor of the House; that is, when he’s not shooting unarmed watermelons.

As for Andy Mac, used to be a decent prosecuting attorney. After 9/11, the boy’s jumped on the Wing Nut Express. Andy Mac’s so scared I’m not surprised he hasn’t called his mother a fascist/socialist/communist terrorist for not baking him chocolate chip cookies when he was six. I just can read his material anymore; besides, I’m holding off until he prints his texts in their original German.

McCarthy is a good candidate for wackiest guy out there, but there’s so much competition it’s hard to call him the clear-cut winner.

I will say this: if the United States somehow gets involved in another war in the Middle East (unless it occurs under Pearl Harbor-like circumstances), the McCarthys (and Lowrys) of the world will be shocked by the reaction of what used to be called Middle America. Another war fought by average Joes and Janes on behalf of American elites and foreigners will cause an explosion of protest, even if the soldiers who do the fighting are volunteers. Urban intellectuals across the political spectrum do not really understand the level of disaffection that exists as a result of the Iraq war, the financial scandals, and the virtual collapse of the job market.
