The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison tells readers, “Paul excoriated Rubio on immigration surveillance, and foreign policy. … He also had a strong exchange with Christie over Syria and Russia and got the better of him.” Larison writes that Christie’s “clueless belligerence was on full display.” Regarding a couple of the other candidates, Daniel writes, “Kasich […]
John McCain: Often Dead Wrong but Never in Doubt
Here Daniel Larison excoriates war-dog Senator John McCain over his scolding of Air Force General Paul Selva at a Senate Armed Servces Committee hearing. Larison chastises McCain for his willingness to spend American blood on any and all military engagements, and for risking a broader war with Russia in Syria that could lead to perilous […]
Rubio-Asleep at the Switch
In The American Conservative, Daniel Larison slams Rubio’s lackluster campaign strategy. The weakness of Rubio’s campaign organization is one of several reasons why he isn’t likely to do all that well once the voting begins. It is understandable that he hasn’t been able to build an organization in the early states because of his relatively […]
Marco Rubio Wrong for America
Originally posted July 22, 2015. Hillary Clinton would be a whole lot worse president than Marco Rubio, but Rubio sets a low bar and would be a dreadful choice. My Cato Institute-centric friend John Basil Utley is the publisher of the American Conservative, published in Washington six times a year. The word conservative has unfortunately […]
Rubio’s Direct Collision Course with Russia
The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison warns, “Rubio is going beyond his earlier reckless support for a “no-fly zone” and promising that he will risk triggering war with a major nuclear-armed power by seeking to topple its client while its forces are still in Syria.” That isn’t the worst part of his plan. Now that Russia […]
Former Iraq Officers Are IS Leaders
From The American Conservative’s John Hay in The Deciders: On May 9, 2003, President Bush appointed Bremer [Paul] to the top civilian post in Iraq. … Bremer arrived in Baghdad on May 12 to take charge of the Coalition Provisional Authority, or CPA. In his first two weeks at his post, Bremer issued two orders […]
Taki Theodoracopulos on Syria
“Under The Black Flag”—Taki Takes off the Gloves. From Taki Theodoracopulos, a founding editor of The American Conservative: I have never seen a more ridiculous situation, where the weak and the cowardly but extremely rich—the Saudis and Qataris—have managed to upset the whole balance of power once the military genius of George W. Bush […]
Trump The War Monger?
The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison gives readers the results of a survey looking at the hawkish or dovish position of Republican candidates. Mr. Trump leads the hawk pack while Rand Paul ranks as the least hawkish. Do you believe the survey? Does any voter really have a good handle on what Donald Trump might do […]
Rubio Is No Front Runner
The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison details the case that Marco Rubio, under no standard measure, is the Republican front-runner. Larison is most certainly correct, as Rubio’s poll numbers at no point have come anywhere near to matching Trump’s or Carson’s. The Rubio case has been built on a thesis that Trump and Carson will fold, […]
“Organic” and “Cage Free” Deception
Here in The American Conservative, Gracy Olmstead delivers a shocker on the real meaning of organic and cage free, including a goodie from my favored Michael Pollan: Back in 2007, Michael Pollan warned in his book The Omnivore’s Dilemma that terms such as Cage free” and “organic” could be more deceiving than you may think. […]
