In a post nine months ago, I wrote that hammer-and-sickle thinking is gaining ground in the United States, thanks largely to then-president-elect Barack Obama and the people he selected to serve in his administration. If you don’t think such thinking is dangerous, take a look at the video and story below about what happened to [...]

Writer Wrong About Obama’s Defense Positions
February 3rd, 2009 · No Comments
In the second paragraph of his Salon.com piece today, writer Glenn Greenwald claims President Barack Obama campaigned on a platform of increased defense spending. One needs only visit the Obama-Biden campaign web site or watch a campaign-trail video of Obama to see that the ever-so-hopeful writer is mistaken. In Ten Reasons NOT to Elect Barack [...]

Freedom of the Press to Suffer Under Obama (Updated)
November 11th, 2008 · No Comments
Freedom of the press is likely to suffer under the administration of Barack Obama. How do I know this? A look back at issues and events that arose during the 2008 presidential campaign reveals as much. Two weeks prior to the Nov. 4 election, Obama running mate Joe Biden faced tough questions from interviewers at [...]

Three Reasons Not to Bail Out General Motors
November 10th, 2008 · 4 Comments
After reading an article in today’s edition of The Moscow Times (see graphic at right), I came up with three good reasons why at least one of the “Big Three” automakers — General Motors — should NOT receive any portion of a proposed $50 billion bailout from the federal government: Reason #1: GM is, according [...]

Obama Message to Allies: ‘You Can’t Trust Me’
November 9th, 2008 · 3 Comments
If an Associated Press report published early today is accurate, President-elect Barack Obama has sent a clear and disturbing message to U.S. allies around the world: “You can’t trust me.” The report cites Obama foreign policy adviser Denis McDonough as saying Obama did not make a commitment to Polish President Lech Kaczynski regarding installation of [...]

On One Foreign Policy Matter, I Trust Sarah Palin
October 2nd, 2008 · 2 Comments
Given the choice between having Sarah Palin or Joe Biden make the decision about a little-publicized proposal for new construction in the nation’s 49th state, I’d choose the Alaska governor every time. Why? Because I’m convinced her foreign policy instincts are better than the six-term senator from Delaware. To date, only three construction projects in [...]
