If the U.S. doesn't cut defense spending, we can't reduce our debtnew
A reader pointed out recently that my commentaries as of late have concentrated heavily on the foreign policy debate currently taking place in the Republican Party. Now that the Bush Doctrine has become Obama's, a critical eye has been cast on the GOP's tendency to promote muscular foreign interventionism.

John McCain Now Embraces America's Sworn Enemynew
During the 2008 election, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul said that our military intervention in the Arab world was the primary motivation behind terrorist acts like 9/11. Why did Paul say this? Because Osama bin Laden said it. Because the 9/11 Commission report said it. Because CIA intelligence said it. Yet when Paul explained this, fellow candidate and eventual Republican nominee John McCain excoriated the Texas congressman and suggested that he was indirectly giving aid and comfort to the enemy, Al-Qaeda.

'Atlas Shrugged' Champions Capitalism, Denounces Corporatism, and Exposes Hypocrisynew

If you ask the average conservative or libertarian, they will tell you it is a great flick. Objectively, it is a mediocre movie at best. Subjectively, it is one of the best mediocre movies you'll ever see.

The War Over the Meaning of the Civil War is Less Civil Than Evernew
There is a difference between being politically incorrect and being racist. But there is no difference between whitewashing Southern history and refusing to tell the region's entire history, which requires deviating from the politically correct parameters of black and white.
