Originally posted on August 20, 2014. On the surface an unlikely team, but the facts indicate simpatico. Hillary Clinton was all in on Iraq, all for the Afghan surge, and supported Benghazi I and II. Clinton has been for Syrian involvement. Clinton also is supportive of a neoconservative foreign policy defined as the belief […]
Ted Cruz a Non-Starter?
Daniel Larison writing in the American Conservative notes: What we know about Republican nomination politics tells us that Cruz is an extreme long-shot candidate. Republicans almost never nominate an insurgent candidate, and they certainly don’t choose to nominate the one with the least experienced in elected office when they have a large number of alternatives […]
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 […]
“Everything Not Forbidden Is Compulsory”
“Everything Not Forbidden Is Compulsory” T.H. White “It would be transformative if everybody voted,” told Mr. Obama to a crowd in Cleveland, Ohio, this week. So does that means that we are going to need more IRS agents? Peggy Noonan writes in the WSJ about the strangeness of President Obama’s words. Would it mean […]
Hillary’s House of Cards
During her press conference at the U.N., Hillary Clinton claimed that the private server she was using was secure because “it was on property guarded by the Secret Service.” But as the WSJ’s James Taranto writes about Mrs. Clinton, “Maybe she’s been watching ‘House of Cards,’ whose second season has a hacking subplot that involves […]
Rand Paul, a GOP Nomination Lock?
Absolutely a lock if every American voter has read even the dust jacket cover of Chris Preble’s (Cato Institute) The Power Problem and concludes correctly with Mr. Preble’s exhaustive and, to me, irrefutable conclusion: America’s “military dominance actually makes us less safe, less prosperous, and less free.” Preble’s solution to the problem is “a more […]
Fiery Outrage from Our Men in Washington
As Andrew McCarthy, a policy fellow at National Review Institute, writes at NRO, there is plenty of fiery outrage by the Bengahazi panel under a Republican-controlled House over the massacre in Benghazi, but not a lot of forthcoming answers. After 10 months, there have been neither subpoenas nor hearings on why the Obama administration and […]
War on Women Gibberish
“The truth is not nearly as politically useful as scare statistics,” writes Thomas Sowell in NRO. “The ‘gender gap’ is not nearly as big as the honesty gap.” Hillary paid the women on her Senate staff 72% of what she paid the men. And at the White House, there is a pay gap between men […]
Rand Paul Soars to CPAC Straw Poll Win
Jeb Bush finishes an embarrassing 5th and Chris Christie, well…
Chris Christie Simplistic Plus Wrong
The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison writes of Christie’s common misguided view of the role of the president and an unfounded confidence in the ability of the U.S government to solve other nations’ problems. Larison notes, “The good news is that Christie isn’t going to be in a position to do any of this. Unfortunately, he […]
