Neutral monists vs. The Frankfort School?

The president said yesterday that he did not have any philosophical objections to travel restrictions.

I was wondering about that, and the title is my best guess on that matter.

[Yes, kidding.]

Meanwhile, as the election approaches the right continues to urge the president's loyalties or his priorities - or both - do not privilege America as they should.

This from the party most in fealty to Zionism and most given to squandering American lives and treasure in unnecessary wars of no earthly good to the country.

Though of course in all candor both parties are so in love with global power that both are for the foreseeable future irrevocably committed to policies that, from the point of view of national interests, amount to global military altruism though, if you follow the money, mostly subject American policy to the needs and aspirations of expanding, global capitalism.

Anyway, playing the race card, big time, they are, these right wing guys.

Pat Buchanan: Community and country come ahead of any obligation to people of Africa

Tom Frieden's story is that travel restrictions will help America very little, if at all, and will significantly impede efforts to deal with Ebola in Africa.

I don't agree, but that's neither here nor there.

Buchnan's position is that this prioritizes Africans over Americans.

But Frieden and those who support him might insist their policy will minimize the risk to the US, since the worse things go in Africa the worse they will be everywhere else, including here.

And though I have seen one or two white male liberals outside the Administration do so, neither O nor anyone else inside it, that I know of, has denounced travel restrictions as racist.

Au contraire, the suggestions that they have, and that they prioritize non-whites over whites, is itself a conservative effort to play upon racial fears, suspicions, and animosities with the ballot box in clear view.
