The ‘No Strategy’ Strategy
President Obama addressed the nation this past Wednesday night to outline his strategy for combating ISIS. Having declared the War on Terror over, he referred to “terror” in various forms eighteen times in his speech.
The problem is that so many real world facts directly contract what President Obama said in his speech. A man who claims often to not know certain facts because he has not seen the news has clearly not been reading the paper. In his speech, the President said, “It is America that helped remove and destroy Syria’s declared chemical weapons so that they can’t pose a threat to the Syrian people or the world again.” Notice the weasel word “declared.” . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Scotland will hold a referendum on 18 September 2014 to determine whether or not they will secede from Great Britain. Gordon Brown, David Cameron and numerous other leading politicians are loudly declaiming the idea and pleading with the Scots to vote “No.” Cameron even asked the Scots not to “give the effing Tories a kick,” claiming that “I care for my country more than my party.” This is perhaps what Cameron has to do as Prime Minister. Another part of his brain has to be thinking “Start kicking now you haggis-munching socialists. Don’t stop kicking until you’ve swam North of Selway Firth so we can rebuild Old Hadrian’s Wall.” This would be mean, this would be petty, this would solidify Tory electoral chances in what would then be left of the British Parliament. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

ISIS Speech: a modest strategy with much to be modest about
Obama laid out what he purported to be a strategy for dealing with ISIS. It is really nothing but an amalgam of policies that not only cannot work but have been proven to not work every time they are tried. In Obama’s speech he laid out a four point strategy. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Wendy Davis and the ennobling of abortion
Texas State Senator Wendy Davis, who is running for governor, has made a fetish of supporting abortion. Her sole qualifying factor in running for governor was her filibuster of a bill restricting abortion, a filibuster that was only possible because the leadership of the Texas legislature grossly mismanaged the bill. In her memoir “Forgetting To Be Afraid,” she recounts her personal experience in having two abortions. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
