Obama did reject what he called one of the prevailing arguments against him, asserting that he is capable of taking on the Republican nominee in the general election. “Their ideas are bankrupt right now,” he said of the Republican primary field. “Scooter Libby justice and Karl Rove politics will be over next year.” In his introductory speech, Kerry compared Obama as a young leader to Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King...
...hard-left political clique whose understanding of capitalism came straight from Marx. (Its leader was "Red" Ken Livingstone; some 25 years on, now mayor, he sings the praises of London's financial-services industry and is pals with New York's plutocratic leader, Michael Bloomberg.)

(Doctors in private practice, unlike hospital-employed doctors, work in but not for the hospital.) Hospital-employed...
...diplomacy often comes back to haunt its perpetrators–for example, the consequences of America’s abetment of the mujahideen in Afghanistan in the 1980s. However, to use such evidence as an argument against realpolitik is to miss the point. The argument cannot be that morally bankrupt diplomacy is ultimately unprofitable. It must simply be that it is wrong...
