The end of the era of Liberalism.

A sobering opinion piece.
We are witnessing the end of the liberal era

Wishful thinking on the part of the director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation. Expect to see a lot of stories like this as the right tries to discourage progressives from pursuing their agenda.

I don't think discouragement is the author's agenda.
Progressives will be paddling against a strong current and probably lose headway in a reversal of policies and direction.

More BS: a dangerous world--Iran and Russia lumped with ISIS. No mention of regime changes, North Korea.

Nobody knows what Kim Fat Fat Fat, as he is informally known on the Chinese blogosphere, thinks he will do with this development and a warhawk like Flynn in play.
As far as ISIS goes, telling our allies to take their alien religion and stuff it is not going to do us any more good with daesh than handing Putin Eastern Europe and permission to do whatever he wants with the Syrian population to prop up Assad's assault on his subjects.
We've also told the Persians to stuff the deal on nukes with this election, so I expect them to restart an accelerated program to have a working nuclear deterrent by January at the earliest.

The article list of dangers to the world represents a Neo-con/Likud view.
