The paragraph in Susan Rice's NYT op-ed that shows how good it is that she's far away from official levers of power

The piece's theme was how DJT's national-security speech was a departure from core American values.

In her fevered mind, these are core American values:

His plan "also glaringly omits many traditional American priorities," including issues of human rights, poverty, higher education, combating viruses, climate change, LGBT rights, as well as "the value of promoting democracy and universal rights," Rice wrote. 

"Traditional." How rich. How far back does something have to go to be considered "traditional?" Was getting preoccupied with the tiny percentage of the population with unconventional sex lives, and the even tinier percentage that resents the genitals and DNA it was born anywhere on the nation's radar screen before ten years ago? Did Madison, Hamilton or any other framer or founder have anything to say about viruses? Or "climate change"? And is the poverty present in some other country really the proper concern of our government? Ditto "higher education."

I'm not even going to get back into the lie she was peddling on Sunday morning shows right after Benghazi except to say that she has a lot of gall making any kind of pronouncement about moral authority.
