Personally, I don’t think that either TR or Obama is a lunatic, but Caplan certainly is. Any country that adopted his pacifist and open-borders policies would be destroyed in a matter of weeks. Why people continue to take this buffoon seriously is beyond me.

Obama a lunatic? Won Nobel Peace Prize, author of multiple books, saw the expansion of American influence (e.g. drones) all over the globe, generally ranked in the top 5 ‘growth-of-government” Presidents…

Offered tongue in cheek….

Speaking of TR, Edmund Morris (who wrote a three part biography on him) was just a guest on Serious Jibber-Jabber with Conan O'Brien.

TR a lunatic? Won the Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize, authored over 30 books, saw the expansion of American influence all over the globe, generally ranked in the top 5 US Presidents….

“If war would weed out only the criminal, the vicious, the feeble-minded, the insane, the habitual paupers, and others of the defective classes, it might lay claim, with some show of justice, to the beneficent virtues sometimes ascribed to it.”

Sounds like it was speaking to TR, a lunatic who openly stated that war was a positive good.
