The new Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The original Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are found in Chapter 6 of the book of Revelations.  The horses they rode were white, red, black, and “pale.”  I’m not getting into the various theological interpretations, but the pale one is usually thought to symbolize death.

Now, according to Condoleezza Rice in an article entitled “The Perils of Isolationism,” in the Sept.-Oct. issue of Foreign Affairs, we have new Horsemen.  She says they tend to ride together.  They are, according to Dr. Rice, populism, nativism, isolationism, and protectionism.  

Interestingly, all four seem to be out of their stables in the United States.
