Republicans never call President Obama a "warmonger".

It is usually a Democratic critic that will use that term but I've never heard a Republican call him that?

Because, in their minds, if they called him a "warmonger", that would indicate he was a strong commander-in-chief and was strong on national defense.

But they call him every other name in the book.

they are stuck in that ancient code of masculinity. You can't back away from a fight or you are a ninny.

Not sure what you are saying, would you prefer they call him a 'warmonger' because YOU think that would make him look stronger?

And one more question, why do we care at all what Right Wingers say or think? When was the last time any of them were right about anything?
