When will the American people catch on to the fact that we do not have two political parties in Washington, D.C.? As I have said repeatedly\u2014and as experience continues to verify\u2014there is just ONE party in Washington: the War Party.<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter which party controls the White House or Congress, the War Party runs things. Warmongering neocons in the GOP and warmongering neolibs in the Democrat Party control Washington, D.C. Oh, they might fuss and feud with each other over domestic and social issues (abortion, homosexuality, welfare, immigration, tort reform, etc.), but they are joined at the hip on the one issue that matters most to them: the Warfare State. Yes, these domestic issues are very important\u2014except to the War Party. Members of the War Party can be pro-life or \u201cpro-choice\u201d; pro-gun control or pro-Second Amendment; pro-homosexual \u201cmarriage\u201d or pro-traditional marriage; pro-illegal immigration or pro-legal immigration; pro-welfare expansion or anti-welfare expansion; pro-laws protecting defendants or pro-laws empowering prosecutors; but everyone in the War Party is united in their support of perpetual war.<\/span><\/p>\n

With very few exceptions, conducting war on the world is sacrosanct to both Republicans and Democrats. Nothing, and I mean nothing, unites and inspires the neocons and neolibs like perpetual war. And nothing puts more money in the coffers of neocons and neolibs like perpetual war.<\/span><\/p>\n
