From the Desk of the Blogger

For years we have been hearing about the challenges for freedom in the face of globalism and conflict. This blog will explore the prospects of liberty and democracy in the context of immigration, education, diplomacy, philosophy and ideology among other interests and experiences of mine.

Cheers!

New and Not Improved

Obama is already balking on promises from the primary season. He will probably do everything possible to appear as a centrist and disown his liberal roots and tendencies just to win votes. There is nothing inspiring about this candidate.

A Man of Seasonal Principles

Obama is quickly becoming the standard Washington politician he has been speaking out against. His policy shifts are blatant rejections of his own "change" and a testament to his narcissism, megalomania and flawed character of so-called humility and convictions.

Bush's Third Term

As Obama runs to the center, he is quickly embracing the legacy of the Bush agenda more than Sen. McCain.

The Audacity of Cynicism

Obama is constantly changing positions without any regard to the rhetoric and promises he so eloquently champions on the campaign trail.

What Iraqi Expats Are Saying Now

Despite the negative press and ridiculous calls for pulling our troops, the US must remain in Iraq. This is no longer about our reasons for going to war, but to support our forces and most importantly, the people of Iraq who yearn for effective self-governance and liberty.

Does Zimbabwe Need a President?

The Mugabe regime is a disgrace to the world, Africa and the people of Zimbabwe. It is now time to do away with the tyrant.

Not Winning the War on Drugs

Though progress has been made, our current strategy should be revisited and revamped. The pervasive drug trade is a detriment to stable and healthy economies and society.

Let McCain Be McCain

Senator McCain has the character and instinct to be president. This election will be a stark contrast between conviction and experience, ambiguity and naivete.

No, McCain Isn't 'Doomed'

Senator McCain has a better chance in this year's presidential election than any other of his former Republican contenders. He must, however, approach the campaigning season carefully and clearly.

House Republicans Need Leadership

If the Republicans hope not to be crushed this November, then the party needs to seriously take into account its identity and leadership.

The Constitution Means What It Says

The Supreme Court's landmark ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller is a testament to the Constitution, sound jurisprudence and liberty.

The Ever-Malleable Mr. Obama

Obama has proved that even his own rhetoric of change and post-partisanship do not apply to him; he is above the Beltway's politics. As he vacillates on political issues to win votes, Obama's true intentions become apparent.

The Sam's Club Agenda

Reclaiming the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan from runaway spending and inept leadership is crucial. Republicans must embrace their historical roots and chart a new vision for the future by embracing a more pragmatic and nuanced approach.

It's All about Obama

Obama has proved that his campaign is not about change. It is about him. His ambiguous policies are only the beginning. Obama is set on manipulating the American public through empty rhetoric just to secure votes.

A False Moderate?

Obama has not lived up to his own mantra of post-partisanship. He is undoubtedly a conventional liberal without policies.

McCain's Oil Epiphany

Energy independence is a crucial facet of national security. Senator McCain's call for lifting the off-shore drilling ban is welcome, but he must go further. Drilling in ANWR is the next step.

Strengthening Extremists

Opening dialogue with Hamas may mark a new beginning for the Middle East, but not engaging with them is far more dangerous.

Testing and Learning

There must be testing to measure standards, but it should not be at the expense of learning and student achievement.

Foreign Policy's Best Hope

The cordial, respectful and working relationship between Sens. Richard Lugar (R-IN) and Joseph Biden (D-DE) offers a unique prospective nonpartisan, American foreign policy.

Iran on Its Heels

As Iran stumbles, the US - and Iraq - have an opportuntiy for stability and progress.
