Not that any additional evidence of Bolton's ethical dysfunctionality is needed, but it's indicative that in his book "Surrender Is Not an Option," he wrote that his "happiest moment at State was personally 'unsigning' the Rome Statute" that created the International Criminal Court.
I'm a big fan of your blog and am sorry that I don't offer more positive comments, but I'm compelled to object to your characterization of Aum Shinrikyo as a "Buddhist terrorist group." That cult is based on a syncretic concoction that includes Hindu elements and a major dose of apocalyptic Christianity. The Buddhist influence - what there is of it - takes forms that few mainstream Buddhists would endorse, though the same kind of thing can be said, I suppose, about the Muslim influence on Al Qaeda or the Christian influence on Westboro Baptist Church. I'm just being a little picky here and in general consider your blog required daily reading.
Excellent analysis. Trump's dragging of education into his racist attack is especially tactless given the history of Southern white opposition to education for African-Americans. Robert J. Norrell's recent biography of Booker T. Washington, "Up From History," does an excellent job of describing the ruthlessness with which whites in the South tried to prevent the education of people of color by denying funding to their "separate but equal" schools. And then whites turned around and denied African Americans the right to vote because they couldn't read? Sounds kind of like Tea Party logic.

More to the point, the emblem's Marxist style of iconography is pretty obvious.
