It's difficult to write about the gun-control debate without angering one side or the other. This column likely will anger both. The horrific shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, have sparked what is shaping up as another intense and bitter battle over gun control. Like the battle over abortion, little common ground exi […]
CHRISTMASES THEN, NOW, AND YET TO COME December 18, 2012
Each of us who celebrates Christmas in America, at one time or another as December 25 approaches, thinks about Christmases then, now, and yet to come. We string Christmases past together in our minds as if they were bulbs on an old strand of Christmas lights. There are those that flicker and glow dimly or not at all because they hold unhappy memories; and th […]
WHY REPUBLICANS ARE LOSING THE WAR December 9, 2012
President Barack Obama has Republicans in Congress on the ropes; and he intends to pummel them mercilessly until they agree to raise taxes on the most successful Americans. Republicans only have themselves to blame, however, for the predicament they are in.
SUSAN RICE VS. JOHN KERRY December 2, 2012
Republican senators, faced with the prospect of either Amb. Susan Rice or Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) as the nominee for next secretary of state, have to hope President Obama will nominate Sen. Kerry.
FIFTY YEARS OF MIDDLE EAST POLICY ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE November 25, 2012
Fifty years of U.S. Middle East policy is on the verge of collapse. On all sides countries inimical to its interests or hostile to its existence surround Israel. At the same time, the Islamist-fundamentalist movement is gaining influence and power while U.S. leverage in the region plummets. Iran is on the verge of building nuclear weapons as it supplies ever […]
BECOMING CALIFORNIA November 11, 2012
When I was two-years old I tried to run across a busy street and was hit by a car. I remember that incident vividly. It's my earliest childhood memory. Last week I was hit by a freight train, and I won't forget that experience either. To describe most conservatives as stunned by Barack Obama's reelection victory is an understatement. It simply […]
BENGHAZI: INCOMPETENCE AND NEGLIGENCE, OR SOMETHING MORE? November 4, 2012
The more we learn about what happened before, during, and after the Benghazi attack, the more unanswered questions remain. The Obama administration is withholding answers to those questions. Americans have the right to know the whole truth and whether the President simply is covering up incompetence, negligence and the failure of his Middle East policy or so […]
AFTER THE 2012 ELECTION October 28, 2012
If Gov. Romney wins the 2012 presidential election, and I believe he will, he faces a challenge that goes beyond reviving the stalled U.S. economy and restoring America's power, access and influence around the world. He must broaden the base of the Republican Party by winning over voters from Democratic constituencies that helped bring progressivism to […]
THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES: THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST October 17, 2012
Tuesday's second presidential debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, was a bare knuckles brawl. Most pundits say President Barack Obama scored more debating points; American voters, however, do not score these debates by any fixed set of rules. They react to them during and afterward with their individual hearts, minds, and guts; and when […]
BENGHAZIGATE October 7, 2012
Increasing evidence indicates the Obama administration has engaged in a cover up of intelligence that forewarned it of the September 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Iranian support for jihadists throughout the North Africa-Middle East region, and al Qaeda penetration of Egypt and Libya.
