Iraq’s Descent Back into Civil War Makes the Case for American Energy Independence

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

-George Santayana (HT: Wikiquote)

America now faces a typical conundrum that has plagued all of our recent Presidents from Dwight D. Eisenhower all the way forward to President Barack Obama. We depend upon the Middle East for much of the energy that provides our motive power. As a result of this debilitating dependence upon people who hate us and practice a system of ethics and morals totally alien to our own, we are increasingly compromised and forced into courses of action that do not benefit our national commonweal. If we produce enough of our own energy, while curbing our domestic consumption, we can break this cycle of self-sabotage. If we don’t break the cycle, every US President going forward will wage his own, pointless version of a Punic War in Western Asia. I describe the current state of play below.

Romney’s Racism of Saying the Obvious

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  August 7th at 01:30 PM  | 

If you believe the propaganda our major networks label as news Mitt Romney personifies the Big, Bad White Devil. He denigrates the achievements of diverse foreign cultures. He picks the scabs off of centuries old grievances over racial injustice just because he gets off on making it bleed. So how does Mitt Romney work such horrible and iniquitous injustice? He egregiously tells the truth. Here | Read More »

There Will Never Be Peace In the Middle East

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  May 20th at 10:38 AM  | 

I hate to break the news to you, but until Jesus Christ himself returns there will be no peace in the Middle East. Not. Gonna. Happen. American foreign policy should be premised on strongly defending Israel and dealing with as friends those states who remain at peace with Israel.
