American Thinker [delivered with tma's warning label]: The Left and Our Protectors [As with other Neocon organs, like City Journal, American Thinker can deliver excellent critiques of the Left's disastrous mindset, but the main goal is to get us endlessly embroiled in ruinous wars in the Middle East.

Obama shows it as well in his LBJ-like gradual escalation of military force to fight our enemies.  Rather than approaching threats like ISIL with overwhelming force to win victories with as little American bloodshed as possible, ...
