Europe’s self chosen fate is, due to her weight, not a local but a global issue. [...]

Time and time and time again all over the world, when people’s Internet access is blocked, it is governments – China, Syria, Iran, North Korea, members of the United Nations – doing the blocking. These are governments that will now be voting to give themselves greater international Internet authority, including – especially – over us. [...] Mr. Paul is many things, but conservative is not one of them. He’s a died-in-the-wool libertarian. That’s one part conservative, two parts anarchist. Ron Paul never had a chance; but now, with the possible exception of his most committed devotees, I suspect most people will finally admit it. [...] With the dollar in crisis worldwide, Forbes’ editor-in-chief Steve Forbes has called for escalating the discourse from “whether” we should restore the gold standard to “how” to do so. [...] U.S. citizens, patriots, and non-biased historians who cherish their country's national heritage are not likely to stand by and watch the first symbolic thanksgiving get muddled by revisionists and fault finders. [...] Challenged peoples are made by their political class to apologize for their greatness. Guilt ridden because of their achievement, they are giving away their wealth to mitigate the shame felt for having attained more than others have. [...] The Occupy Wall Street protesters are composed of hippies and trust fund kids being directed by communists and socialists. [...] Romney is threatening to set up an “authentic free traders club” of nations and keep China out of it. Let's hope if he is elected president and China calls his bluff that he sticks to it. [...] Small steps like this bill are the hard, boring stuff out of which significant political progress is made. It won’t be easy, but clearly the political momentum is in favor of doing something about this problem. [...] Herman Cain is delusional if he thinks we can solve the China trade imbalance by outgrowing China. But he does seem to understand that what passes for free trade isn't working. [...] The threat posed by Chinese monetary and trade policies has still not made it to Washington, D.C., the center of the debate over the destiny of America’s future. Surprisingly, Senator Charles Schumer seems to get it. [...] Liberals like Bill Clinton thought that the advantage of buying cheaper made products and products of lesser quality would benefit the American Economy. But in reality the circles of economy that pays the most to the government for government jobs has decreased proportionately. But Clinton did benefit personally from all those contributions from foreigners! [...] If what is being reported is true, U.S. Attorney General and other government officials may have committed perjury and/or obstruction of justice if it's proven they lied when testifying before House and Senate committees. [...] Sovereignty, security, and their protection by the UN. [...] Somalia is the world's worst humanitarian crisis. It is not the drought that is killing thousands of people in Somalia, but the al-Qaeda affiliate al-Shabab. Eliminate militant Islam, and a lot of the rest of the world's problems will go away. [...] There is no going back. Americans will never again be at the high end of the economic see-saw, controlling the world's resources. [...] Unlike Romney, Perry has not completely disavowed his controversial history as governor. Romney distanced himself from Mass-Care by promising that the first Executive Order he would sign upon becoming president would be a waiver to all 50 states from Obamacare. Perry, on the other hand, proudly lists Trans-Texas Corridor as one of his accomplishments on [...] Is it constructive political discourse to use an analogy that compares Republicans to the likes of Al Qaeda? Is that civil? [...] The UN needs to seriously get into the business of spreading democracy and thereby ending global oppression. As a first step all member countries should reapply for membership in the UN, and their applications should undergo scrutiny according to Freedom House criteria. [...] These candidates have not yet identified the fundamental causes of our problems, so their current plans are short sighted and tactical. What is the role of our federal government and what are we doing today that we should cease and desist? Who will emerge as a true national leader? [...] President Barack Obama appears to be preparing a fresh outreach to the Muslim world in coming days, one that will ask those in the Middle East and beyond to reject Islamic terrorism in the wake of Osama bin Laden's death and embrace what he believes will be a new era of positive relations with the [...] I appeared on Russia's English-language TV show CrossTalk yesterday to discuss whether the demonstrations sweeping the Middle East will lead to democratic reforms or harsher Islamic states. The other guests weren't terribly fond of America, and one has been an editor of a communist journal. [...] The Human Rights Council has about as much right to sit in judgment of human rights as Charlie Sheen has to lecture American youth about sobriety. [...] It is too early and naively optimistic to conclude that these uprisings will lead to more democracy and freedom. [...] Up until now, previous administrations had stood firm refusing to accede to Russia's aggressive posturing. The treaty favors Russia, requiring it to give up missiles it cannot maintain in exchange for real cuts by the U.S. [...] |
