Just this morning, I was watching President Obama’s speech before the United Nations. I must admit it was given with eloquence and was quite moving. However, for the most part it was rhetoric and the dreams of an idealistic man in Fantasyland. I do not want to really beat a dead horse, but as stated in my last article about the ideology of liberals, President Obama’s foreign policy completely ignores reality. It is almost delusional. Obama dream…

…sonal, and in Iowa especially, nobody will “deliver” anybody but themselves on caucus night.” Yepsen point is that economics matters with social conservatives as it does with Paul supporters. There is a divide on foreign affairs with isolationist wing of the Republican enjoying a resurgence and even the more interventionist of the Republicans are less hesitant to engage in foreign adventurism and as Yepsen noted, “ No matter the outc…
… Bush made many mistakes. The biggest being the amount of spending that went on during his administration. He was the first and hopefully the last tax and spend Republican. As I have written here before, I believe that Bush’s foreign policy will be looked at much differently in the future.

The first is regarding the pending bankruptcy of GM and the second is about our current standing in foreign affairs. Specifically, what is going to be done about North Korea and Iran? As far back as November 19, 2009, I have been stating in this column that the auto industry bailout was a waste of taxpayer money. The inevi…
…#8217;s debate in the run-up to the South Carolina Primary, an analysis of real-time Twitter votes for favourite candidates was broadcast. Ron Paul Flix depicts the male analyst presenting the figures relating to questions on foreign policy, which he said “at times could indicate a good measure of what is being said.” As he did so he stood before a graph clearly indicating Ron Paul way out in the lead.

…e the politicking of Mr. Obama and his party. Let’s look at some of Reagan’s key policies and why they should still be the backbone of the Republican Party: 1. federalism; 2. smaller government; 3. lower taxes; and, 4. strong foreign policy without isolationism. Not one of the candidates for public office this year spoke of federalism. Neither side of the debate centered on giving power back to the states and limiting the size of the federal gove…
… of these circumstances, the use of the word hero is trivialized. A deeper problem is that ides of myth, legend and story hold a society’s culture together. The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction. I hope we can recover the sense of propriety about who we call a hero and what they did to be considered brave before it’s too late. A …
