The American Conservative’s Rod Dreher offers a balanced, logical analysis of the phenomenon that is Donald Trump. Mr. Dreher asks, “Does Trumpism enliven our political life with zest and unpredictability, or does it diminish our political life with unthinking emotionalism and shallowness?… Trumpism and its popularity are demolishing intellectually serious conservatism. And yes, the GOP […]

Surging John Kasich and Realist James Baker
Writing in The American Conservative, Scott McConnell tells readers that near the end of a recent event John Kasich was asked who he considered a good secretary of state. Kasich answered Jim Baker.

Brent Scowcroft and the Realists
Originally posted March 31, 2015. James Antle, III, writing in the America Conservative, notes that Republican realists, including Brent Scowcroft, understood “how to use power and respect it’s limits.” The GOP’s most hawkish national-security hands want to maintain a monopoly on foreign-policy advice for Republican presidents and other elected officials.

Freedom or Free Stuff?
Americans need to understand, early in the presidential season, that Bernie Sanders is a philosophically linked cousin of Karl Marx. You know, the father of the Communist Manifesto. The old Soviet Union is a storybook model of Communism/Marxism. How did that all work out? Americans need to know that Sanders wants to take control of […]
That $100 Billion for Iran?
Is the $100 billion “nuclear deal” foreign aid? No, the money is already Iran’s money. It simply has been freed up with expiration of sanctions.

Originally posted August 21, 2015.

Trump and Sanders Surging, Clinton in Trouble
Pat Buchanan tells readers, “If a cloud is forming over the Clinton campaign, the sun continues to shine on the Donald.” Sanders and Trump both opposed the war in Iraq that the Bush Republicans and Clinton Democrats supported.
