Norquist Decries Lack of Conservative Debate on Afghanistan
Monday will mark the 50th anniversary of President Eisenhower's famous Farewell Address in which he warns of the concerning power of what he called the "Military Industrial Complex". The American Conservative magazine in recognizing this anniversary has published a symbosium of essays on this speech and it's legacy entitled, "Ike's Last Stand." Included are video of the actually speech in full as well as the text along with 5 essays from different opinions of the speech and Ike's legacy from it.
From a certain POV, President Obama may indeed be a great President in that he forced, not unlike FDR and the New Deal, a conversation to take place and today's conservatives may indeed be starting to look back to their roots and traditions and thus re-capture something they lost long ago, ironically some argue lost during the Ike years in the WH.
