The U.S. government does not trust every American soldier to possess nuclear weapons. Likewise, the U.S. government should not trust private citizens to possess nuclear weapons. But the U.S. government does trust more than a million American soldiers to possess advanced firearms. Likewise, the U.S. government should trust private citizens to possess such firearms. If […]
Promise to treat President Romney like a Democrat. On October 19, Rasmussen Reports stated, Among those who Somewhat Disapprove of Obama’s performance, Romney gets just 68% of the vote. Kerry got 80% support from those who Somewhat Disapproved of Bush. This may suggest that some who are disappointed by Obama’s performance remain unconvinced that the […]
Five days before the Presidential election, barring a power grab by the current Administration, recall these immortal words: Our next task is the removal of unemployment, the providing of work. This providing of work is divided into two main groups. First the private providing of work. Under this heading we are going to undertake a […]
In the ‘foreign-policy’ debate, Romney was even worse than I realized. He wants America to bring peace to the world, in the tradition of Woodrow Wilson. But Obama is unable or unwilling to conceptualize the nature of America’s enemies. To Obama, Russia—a nation run by a Soviet thug, persecuting its own citizens for political crimes, […]
Here are my questions for both candidates in the final Presidential debate of 2012, on foreign policy, Monday evening.

Romney spoke first and again sounded like a left-wing Democrat, bragging about how he expanded free […]
Imagine not being able to beat Romney in a political debate. In the first Presidential debate of 2012, Romney humiliated Obama by going as far Left as Obama dared go before a national audience. Consequently, there was no choice for voters regarding ideology; the choice was limited to a question of competency. The choice was […]
The first Presidential debate of 2012 is this Wednesday, October 3. The topic is domestic policy. Here is my question for both candidates: What is your evaluation of the statement, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”?
On September 11, 2012, Islamists attacked Americans in a U.S. foreign embassy and consulate and murdered four of those Americans in Libya. Evidence indicates that our government failed to take common-sense security measures to protect these Americans. Then our government issued numerous official statements that were as much condemnations of a YouTube video denigrating Islamists […]
There were no new specific policies in President Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night. As always, Obama wants the government to increase its initiation of physical compulsion in manufacturing, the energy industry, education, and medicine, to name a few aspects of human life. But the final passage provides a pithy […]
