#1 "The Saud dynasty, whose internal problems are rapidly growing, is no longer secure; and of course the final prize, beyond oil, is Mecca."

There's an app for that.

#2 Yea, well. I, kinda, hopped that the rebirth of Russia will prompt return to sanity in USA. But, with both Walker & Perry out of the race....

#3 By design, grom. They were the ones that scared the intelligentsia the most, and therefor received the most back-channel 'impediments'.

#6 great piece. well reasoned. yes Bush left it in reasonable shape - if not complete victory then at least not the total failure we now see

Obama made the error of withdrawing troops when in fact he needed to triple them

#10 You could also look at the RNC beltway 'elites'.

The federal elections cash flows through them and they suggest and vet the individual GOP candidate's 'message'.

If you don't want someone in the game, suggest to them a 'terrific' message and 'unique' avenue for them to follow (one that everyone will love, don't you see).

Jeez, tell me that I'm not jaded or something, but I've seen this technique too many times.

#11 "The New World Order" is a leftist dream. They hold the naive notion that the NWO will do away with wars. The only problem is that it cedes our sovereignty to the U.N. A NWO goes against our constitution and takes power away from our citizens. Since it embraces open borders and multiculturalism, it tends to destroy our culture, country and nationalism. The NWO attempts to blur the lines which define us and it tries to makes us like a myriad of other countries.

#12 Th so-called 'New World Order' will make everyone a slave - under conditions much, much, worse than the 'old south'.

The lefties of course believe that they will be the 'masters' - they always were the party of slavery.

Some people _want_ to be slaves. They don't want the responsibility of owning their own lives and would rather have a 'master' who tells them what to do and where to go.

#13 They don't want the responsibility of owning their own lives and would rather have a 'master' who tells them what to do and where to go.

There was a lady at my church that turned down a higher paying job because she was afraid that she would lose her welfare. My attempts to explain that she would be better off with a higher paying job than being dirt poor on welfare just bounced off her head.
