China is on the move, having seized a U.S. underwater drone in the South China Sea. And there are members of the Republican party, the Code Pink Republicans that would appease the Chinese in the face of this aggression. The appeasement, isolationism, passivity in the face of evil results in more provocations as China continues to test the outside limits of what it is that they want to do. On the one hand, there are voices pushing to avoid conflict with the Chinese. On the other hand, there are Establishment and pro-Putin Republicans pushing for the nomination of Rex Tillerson as secretary of State, a man who is soft on Putin. The Republican party seems to be going soft on our enemies. Rex may be a businessman but he is the wrong businessman. He is grave threat to the nation of Israel, believes in the Paris Climate Accord, and is weak on abortion and gay marriage. In addition, President-Elect Donald Trump and Democrats are advocating protectionism which puts corporatists and crony capitalism first. Later, President Obama says it is bad to attack America’s institutions yet attacks them anyway. He says that the notion of liberty, when it comes to the Electoral College is a carryover from the past. The Electoral College exists so that we can challenge radicals and keep them from destroying our country.
