Left Looks Right

The American Conservative's Daniel McCarthy offers a post — How the Left Sees the Antiwar Right — on an article by the Daily KOS's Marcion — What if the right becomes the anti war party? (Of course, the right was the antiwar party up until the first half of the XXth Century.)

Marcion says that "the marginals who continue to desire peace above all" should "begin to realize that the only other group that will stand with us in opposing the wars are the libertarians and various paranoid right wingers afraid of growing government and international entanglements (affectionately referred to as Paultards here)." To those for whom "political divisions are very significant, and an alliance with libertarian forces is out of the question," he retorts, "Bipartisanship is acceptable on war funding bills, but not on war opposition, it appears."

The American Conservative article by Chase Madar that sparked Marcion's was about "Samantha Power and the weaponization of human rights" — Care Tactics.
