A Neocon by Any Other Name

The latest great, desperate brainwave from right-wing think-tank world is that Republicans can forestall the appointment of Supreme Court justices forever or at least as long as Hillary is president. 

This unbiased opinion will, of course, be reversed at the advent of another Republican executive, a neo-neocon or whatever they call themselves now to try to avoid responsibility for the last go-round.

They should give us more time to recover from the messes of that last episode, notably the Iraq war and the 2008 economic calamity, but they are impatient to reinvent our democracy as something else.

Whatever they have in mind, it isn't democracy and I wish the lying, heartless bastards would own it. Regards, Ilya Shapiro, who came up with this pronouncement. I smell a Wolfowitz in the woodpile.

The neocons are alive and well and into another, younger generation of no-accountability policy prescriptions and war-mongering bullshit. Just remember how well it worked out the last time.
