The American Conservative’s Scott McConnell writes: The FN’s upside potential is truly vast. Marine Le Pen’s National Front is far and away the largest party in a major country to challenge the Washington-dominated, neoliberal, and globalist consensus. It is easily the largest anti-immigration party to emerge in the West, and one, which is clearly striving, […]
Cato’s Dan Mitchell Strikes Fear
Originally posted on February 26, 2015. With the 2016 elections now on every politician’s mind, what is a politician’s worst nightmare? As always, it is the deathly fear that the voters have finally caught on to the fraud of Republican and Democrat big government! The post 1914 Big Government sham, running from Wilson through FDR, […]
U.S. Tax Code Benefits Washington Insiders
Here the Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell writes that one of the new traditions at the IRS is an annual release of tax scams. “Unsurprisingly, the list contains no warnings about the needless complexity and punitive nature of the tax code. Nor does the IRS say anything about how taxpayers lose the presumption of innocence if […]
Neoconservatives Have Two Core Beliefs
Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi writes that the two neoconservative core beliefs are (1) “Their insistence that the United States has the right or even the responsibility to use its military and economic power to reshape the world in terms of its own interests and values.” (2) “Washington must uncritically support Israel no matter what […]
The Preeminent Goal of American Foreign Policy Is?
Pat Buchanan asks, “Is it to protect the vital interests and national security of the Republic? Or do we believe with George W. Bush that, ‘The survival of liberty’ in America ‘depends on the success of liberty in other lands.’” Pat concludes: If it is the latter, then our mission is utopian — and unending. […]
Is American Foreign Policy Crippled?
The Cato Institute’s Chris Preble believes, “U.S. foreign policy is crippled by a dramatic disconnect between what Americans expects of it and what the nation’s leaders are giving them.” Preble continues: What is our foreign policy? Leadership. That word appears 35 times in President Obama’s latest National Security Strategy. His predecessors have all wanted the same thing, […]
For You, a Trip of a Lifetime
A few years ago, Debbie and I biked the exact Burgundy roadways you see here in this excellent Butterfield & Robinson video. As B&R notes, “To Burgundian locals, time is measured by the season. For us, it’s by the kilometer, the meal and the vintage. Take a small sip of our second home.”
Glenn Beck Throws Out Jeb Bush
Here Glenn and David Barton run down the list of potential 2016 candidates. The goal is to suggest the short list of candidates whose voices should be heard in Iowa. The answer on Jeb Bush, a resounding no! Others of whom Glen and David speak harshly include Chris Christy and Mike Huckabee. At the top […]
Put America First
Pat Buchanan hits the nail on the head. “Bibi is looking out for Israel first. America needs a president like Ike who will start looking out for America first” Pat concludes, “We are at a moment of truth worldwide.” Former CIA bin Laden Unit chief Michael Scheuer takes an even harder line here. Pat writes: […]
The Bark of The War Dogs
The Cato Institute’s Chris Preble offers some reasoned perspective: McCain, Thornberry, and Cotton want much more military spending because they believe the world is too dangerous, and the U.S. military is too small to deal with the dangers. But today’s threats are relatively modest and manageable compared with our recent past. And while the U.S. […]
