Shortly after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, President Barack Obama's former minister, Rev. Jeremiah Wright went on an anti-American rant which included an America-blaming quote, "America's chickens are coming home to roost."  After listening to this pastor, whose church President Obama sat in for over 20 years, it is easy to see where the President gets his "blame America first" mentality. But after looking back at Obama's illegal war against Libya and his ill-advised Middle East policy, one must wonder if Rev. Wright would revise his now famous quote and say "Obama's chickens are coming home to roost"?

This week, the House Oversight Committee held hearings to get to the truth about what happened in Libya leading to the death of our Ambassador and 3 other Americans and then the subsequent cover-up. As you might recall, despite the fact that there

The U.S. State Department announced Friday that the USA will resume its massive foreign aid giveaway of $1.5 Billion to Egypt. Since Congress passed a law in December prohibiting funding unless the State Department certifies that Egypt is making progress on basic democratic freedoms, it would seem that this action is being taken contrary to this congressional directive.

Will Obama lose Iraq? This is not an insignificant question, since Obama inherited a winning situation in Iraq, but now he is in danger of making our sacrifice in Iraq meaningless. The goal of the incoming Administration should have been to establish a relation with the new government while allowing a drawdown of our troops, but Obama simply failed to look at the long term strategic thinking in recruiting Iraq in becoming part of a bulwark against a resurgent Iran.

There is one word to describe Obama’s foreign policy, incomprehensible. No one can truly make sense of this policy other than to say, if it is the wrong move, it will be done. Case in point, Libya. Obama procrastinated when Gaddafi was on the rope and this delay allowed the Libyan dictator to regroup and consolidate his advantages over the Rebel forces. When Obama decided to intervene, he gave the leadership role to France and Great Britain and lead from behind; allowing a stalemate to occur. The only advantage that the NATO has is simply

I came across something several years ago, that while circumstantial seems very powerful and worth sharing. I was in Cairo, Egypt on business and had an extra day before going on to my next stop, London. An Egyptian I had been working with gave me a personal guided tour of the tourist highlights, including climbing down into the very burial chamber of one of the three Giza Pyramids, walking around the Sphinx, and enjoying a professional but also personal guided tour of the Cairo Egyptian Museum.

In numerous ways throughout the day of ancient wonders, the thousands-years-old artifacts pointed to a central question.

The Middle East is a powder keg waiting to explode. The Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak has been replaced by a powerful voice Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, a cleric associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

First you should understand that I am not involved with international diplomacy or even travel, and see things not from the ground but from the bird’s eye perspective of mass-communications and history. But many media representatives have been gurgling over the uprising in Egypt and the ousting of Hosni Mubarak, who had presided over the nation for over 30 years. They are all aflutter about an outbreak of liberty, even likening in to the spirit that inspired America’s founding. I thought it sounded a little hasty, but YEAH, I was right. So, let’s think about this.

Today, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has stepped down as president of Egypt and has left the city of Cairo. Crowds of protesters in the streets of Cairo have erupted in joy at the success of their protests.

American State Department officials are now scrambling to figure out what this means to the American relationship with Egypt.   Read more »

TexasGOPVote, and Bob Price specifically, was cited by Michael Medved on his radio program Friday afternoon. Unfortunately, it was not in a complimentary context. Medved is philosophically pretty conservative, elaborating philosophically consistent explanations of how markets work and government attempts at coercion do not. He is also clear on the ideals of social conservatism and the problems of liberal dissent. He is also exceptionally literate on historical accounts, and I listen to him most every day.   Read more »
