To be a successful movement conservative in the U.S. of A one must simply writhe with grotesque pleasure at the mere mention of Ronald Reagan's semi-divine name.
If you were to poll the GOP Caucus of the US House of Representatives on who inspired them to get into politics, Saint Ronald of Santa Barbara's name would top the list by a wide margin.
Purists will recall that in retaliation for a bombing in West Germany that killed some off duty US Soldiers, Reagan bombed Tripoli in a transparent attempt to ease Colonel Khadaffi off this mortal coil to the soothing strains of missile detonations.
So of course, it is grimly hilarious to me that the congressional progeny of Ronald Reagan are deeply divided about the US backed "no fly zone" over Libya.
I mean How Dare, Barack Obama do what Ronald Reagan did and on a far more elaborate scale as well?
What next will they march for peace under "Give Colonel Khadaffi a Chance" placards?
Chain themselves to the White House Fence carrying a "Justice for Libya" banner?
All snarkage aside, what is bad about this is that the GOP's frantic "forensic approach" to President is now being cautiously exported into the realm of foreign policy, which is baa-ad medicine indeed.
