bush obama taken
We realize too late that President Bush shouldn't have taken us into Iraq, and President Obama shouldn't have taken us out.
great obama reagan speech
In the Reagan administration, a great speech was just the first step in a long process. In the Obama administration, it's the only step.
barack jimmy next survived
Don't worry, America. We survived Jimmy Carter, and we will survive Barack Obama. Only one questions remains... who is the next Ronald Reagan?
despite dollars remain servitude spending thousands
Despite spending trillions of dollars and spilling the blood of thousands of Americans, we remain in servitude to Arab oil.
armed duty forces higher leaders military pay political power sacred sailors seize soldiers strike treat weigh
Our military leaders don't seize power in coups; our soldiers and sailors don't go on strike for higher pay or benefits; our armed forces don't weigh in on the political process. In return, Americans have a sacred duty to treat them honorably.
books eloquent feign fix people speeches theories
The problem with people who live in a world of speeches and books and theories is they don't know how to fix things in the real world when they go wrong. They feign ignorance, blame others, and make another eloquent speech.
empty leading thinks threats worse
Empty threats are often worse than saying nothing at all. It's like leading from behind. Eventually, no one thinks you're leading at all. And after a while, no one is even listening.

Krispy Kreme claims the 'batter is the best part.' Same with an Obama speech. It's all about what's on the outside, not what's inside.

crises drawn endemic endless gets independence liberate middle price seem states united worldwide
As long as the United States - and the world - gets its oil from the Middle East, we will be drawn into the endless crises that seem endemic to the region. American energy independence would not only liberate us, it would also drive down the worldwide price of oil.
affairs arms default factions happens lay normal peace resume society state temporary war west win
We in the West think of peace as society's default position. War is a temporary state of affairs that happens when peace fails. For us, war is something that has a beginning, a middle, and an end. When it is over, win or lose, the warring factions lay down their arms and resume their normal lives.
anyone below bought buy car cell dependent falls high kremlin last meet modern natural oil prices russia russian sells time wants
Russia does not have a modern economy: it's a petro-power. The only thing it sells that the world wants to buy is oil and natural gas. When was the last time anyone bought a Russian computer? A Russian car? A Russian cell phone? Russia is so dependent on high energy prices that if oil falls below $100 a barrel, the Kremlin can't meet payroll.
africa al attacked bombed changed east knew qaeda served several
Al Qaeda attacked the U.S.S. Cole and bombed several U.S. embassies in East Africa in the late 1990s. We knew who did it, but we didn't go after them. Instead, we beefed up security at our embassies and changed the Navy's rules of engagement. It only served to embolden Al Qaeda.
