Joe McCarthy's Ghost

John Bolton couldn't even get confirmed for United Nations ambassador by a Republican Senate. "The Secretariat building in New York has 38 stories," said Bolton. "If you lost ten stories today, it wouldn't make a bit of difference." A former Bush administration that served in government during the 9/11 attacks and publicly stated he didn't care if the U.N. was attacked, claims a Barack Obama presidency will unleash more attacks.



BOLTON: Yeah I think honestly that’s an optimistic view of it, that it will simply be a replay of the Clinton administration. It will simply have more embassy bombings, more bombings of our warships like the Cole, more World Trade Center attacks. That would be the best outcome from that perspective.

These neoconservatives love fear-mongering. They don't provide hope or solutions. They just tell us that war will continue (under their watch) and those that oppose their policies will bring attacks to U.S. soil. The Republican Party is still channeling Joe McCarthy's ghost.

"You are seeing today an all out attempt
to marshal the forces of the opposition,
using not merely the communists, or their
fellow travelers-the deluded liberals, the
eggheads, and some of my good friends
in both the Democratic and Republican Parties
who can become heros over night in the eyes
of the left-wing press if they
will just join with the jackal pack"

Joseph McCarthy

Why sell hope when hopelessness is easier.
