The Reagan Doctrine vs. the Obama Doctrine
From 1974 to 1980, totalitarianism was on the rise. South Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos, South Yemen, Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Grenada, Nicaragua, and Afghanistan fell into the orbit of the Soviet Union.
Then Reagan entered office. Under the Reagan Doctrine, the momentum of totalitarianism was more than slowed, it was reversed. Dictatorships collapsed in Chili, Haiti, and Panama during Reagan’s watch. Democracy advanced in nine more nations, including Bolivia, Honduras, Argentina, Grenada, El Salvador, Uruguay, Brazil, Guatemala, and the Phillippines …
At least his foreign policy has been good
Is there a lesson here for Republicans? I think there is. I would not get too excited at advancing the cause of a certain conservative Senator who has but two years of experience on the national stage.
We need an experienced adult to try to undo some of the damage the Obama Government has inflicted on the world, not a conservative version of Mr. Obama.
America's issues are cultural, not economic
“A Christian who hopes to follow the teachings of Jesus needs to reckon with a singular fact about American poverty: Its deepest and most debilitating deficits are moral, not financial; the most serious deprivations are cultural, not economic. Many people living at the bottom of American society have cell phones, flat-screen TVs, and some of the other goodies of consumer culture. But their lives are a mess.”

This great country has been formed by our Judeo-Christian beliefs.
With Easter upon us tomorrow, I’d like to share some great quotes from American presidents on the subject of religion and its importance to us individually and collectively.

Baseball great, Hank Aaron, disappoints with false racial slurs
Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s home run record the old-fashioned way: he earned it.
Unlike Mark McGuire or Barry Bonds, Mr. Aaron never used steroids. He hit an amazing 40 home runs when he was 39 years of age. He added another 42 after his fortieth birthday.
Aaron had to withstand ugly, racist threats from some neanderthals who didn’t like the idea of a black man breaking the Babe’s revered record. So, you can understand if Hank Aaron has something of a chip on his shoulder on issues of race. The 80 year old Hall of Famer said that he holds onto the nasty letters he received …
Liberal policies imperil African-Americans
I’m a white man, and I’m grateful for that.
For the record, it has nothing to do with racism. I admire and appreciate the significant contribution African-Americans have made to America. My family claims a black man living in South Africa as an unofficial family member.
As Dr. Martin Luther King encouraged us to do, I judge a person by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
But let’s be honest, African-Americans as a group are daily victims of cruelty and heartlessness that makes it difficult to be black …
Yes, he really said that
A very politically-incorrect tweet
Larry Elder is black.
Is that politically incorrect to say? Larry wouldn’t mind because he is also a conservative. He knows that we fellow conservatives judge people by the content of their character, NOT the color of their skin.
In other words, he’s not offended by things that are not offensive, in contrast to liberals who seem to only be offended by the inoffensive …
The aloof CEO in the White House
“How could any president put his entire reputation on the line with a program and not be on the phone every day pushing people and making sure it will work? Do you know of any president who wouldn’t do that?””
