A Missed Opportunity in Iraq
On May 25, 2011, The Wall Street Journal reported on its Opinion page about a speech that the highly respected and departing Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, made about Iraq. Here is the final paragraph concerning Mr. Gates remarks:“Lo and behold, Mr. Gates is saying that Iraq is that model, and that even the Obama Administration now…
Read MoreScott Walker has the “Right Stuff” for Our Nation
I truly enjoyed my many readings of Governor Scott Walker’s book, Unintimidated.

Read MoreOur President, A Superb Political Hack
President Reagan was a superb communicator and politician, but he was also a very effective president in terms of governing–especially in regards to our economy and the world stage. Our current president should not–in many ways–surprise us in terms of what he does. It is very important to distinguish between what our president says and what…
Read MoreA Definite Lack of Trust of President Obama
It is no secret that I have not been pleased with our current president. However, I no longer have any trust in President Obama. He ran for the presidency twice proclaiming that he would end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now–at a time when he should be pulling our military further out of dangerous…
