"Globalists versus Traditionalists" [Mark Krikorian] (http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NDM4MjExZDFlZjI1NTUxNDY5NjJiZDNiYmFjYjQyNDM=)


Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, in a recent interview (http://www.americasnewspaper.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=Publishing&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle&mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&tier=4&id=E03CF6CCB10E4F118A9100AA0F38F8D9), identified what I think will be the most important dividing line in the upcoming debate over the future of the Right:
