Both Parties and Fifty States

I commend Dr Pipes for pointing a finger at both Democrat and Republican, though Im not sure I understand the real difference here, between the words hypocritical and inconsistent. What the two words do have in common is that, taken together, they produce a void. Dr Pipes' sphere of expertise is foreign affairs,specifically.the Middle East and Islam. If his defacto conclusion is that we are in short supply of good elected statesman and women in much of our Middle East affairs, (executive or legislative), Im in full agreement. Fortunately this atricle is limited only to Middle East affairs .For if it wasnt, the list of our nations foolish denial, hypocracy and inconsistancy, crosses both parties and fifty states.
