Here is an exceprt from an ABC News article

The policies he's advancing are helping the other team," said Cruz, who called the president, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Secretary of State John Kerry "apologists for terrorists."

Cruz called for Kerry's resignation, drawing cheers from the 1,500 in attendance.

Huckabee went a step further, saying Kerry was "only doing the bidding of the person who appointed him.

"I've got a better idea -- instead of getting rid of John Kerry, I'd like Barack Obama to resign if he's not going to protect America and instead protect the image of Islam"

Specifically, the concept of Obama actually resigning because he is not going to protect America and let one of the guys take power is an exercise in insanity. So Obama is actually ruining our national security so that jihadists can impose sectarian shariah law in the US is beyond me.



GOP candidates use American exceptionalism as method to spread fear and created inflated views about the United States foreign policy. The GOP uses patriotism and jingoism to hide from a realistic look at our part in foreign affairs and admitting our part.



Admitting our part would be sign of weakness. In reality, admitting our part and making amends is how country evolves and develops strategic alliances with our country that will preseve the mutual self-interest of both countries.



Admitting our part is not a sign of weakness. It is how addicts like me recover from addiction to booze. Admitting our part lets us go our problems and let us take a realistic view of our selves.



The GOP uses American exceptionism as a cover because they do not want to admit addiction to war and addiction to intervention in countries where we have no business invading.


Huckabee's and his ilk are just using this to continue to prove their addiction to war and interventionism. Endless war and interventionism brought down the Roman Empire and it could do the same to us
