The Decline Of A Superpower
Post Date: 2010-11-07 18:35:13 by Brian S
0 Comments
America’s severe economic problems and a decline in its stature as the world’s only superpower can be traced to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. You can see the influence the pro-Israeli neocon cabal exercised on President George W. Bush and his Vice President Dick Cheney behind these disastrous wars. Great Britain’s three century-old colonial empires disintegrated after its war with the Nazis. America does not have overseas colonies but it instilled fear in its enemies and respect in its friends. Both are in the process of disappearing. The trillion-dollar wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have virtually forced American economy into a state of bankruptcy. People with no ...

Would we be better off under a President Hillary Clinton?

By Dana Milbank Sunday, November 7, 2010 As I sat in the East Room last week watching a forlorn President Obama account for his shellacking, I listened with concern as he described the presidency as a "growth process" and suggested that the midterm setback was somehow inevitable. "You know, this is something that I think every president needs to go through," he said. It brought to mind Hillary Clinton's 3 a.m. phone-call ad from the 2008 campaign, and her withering criticism of Obama: "When there is a crisis . . . there's no time for speeches or on-the-job training." I wondered whether Democrats would be in the fix they're in if they had chosen a ...

Tea Party Radicalism Will Help Lay The Ground For 2012 Obama Victory
Post Date: 2010-11-07 18:16:12 by Brian S
5 Comments
Will US politics be transformed by the Tea Party movement , which thrashed President Obama’s Democrats in US mid-term Congressional elections just before his India visit? Absolutely not. The radical posturing of Tea Party stalwarts is mostly hypocritical mush. The movement started with spontaneous grassroots protests by local people across the country, protesting against higher taxes to fund ballooning fiscal deficits. This was not led or even anticipated by any politician, though many (notably Sarah Palin) climbed onto the bandwagon once the movement spread like wildfire. Many activists donned 18th century costumes in memory of the Boston Tea Party of 1773, a tax revolt against ...

Halliburton's Flawed Cement May Seal Criminal Fate
Post Date: 2010-11-05 12:32:04 by Brian S

Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Halliburton Co. probably meant no irony when it named its annual report last year, “Pushing Boundaries.” The company may be wishing it had more carefully observed certain boundaries as new evidence emerges of its role in the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. Take, for example, the line between legal conduct and crime. Halliburton may have crossed that border if it negligently sold faulty cement used in the construction of the Macondo well, which spewed 4.9 million barrels of crude into the Gulf of Mexico after an April 20 rig explosion that killed 11 workers. Last week a commission investigating the disaster reported that the Houston-based company had ...

You know who was a big loser in this election? George Soros.

While Democrats went out of their way to portray the Koch brothers as evil billionaires puppeteering this election, I’d venture they feel pretty good about the outcome. However, after last night I’d venture that that George Soros is one unhappy Hungarian. Where the Kochs stood accused of funding some well-known grassroots political groups, Soros has been heavily invested in some pretty shady attempts at electioneering for Democrats. And fortunately, these efforts aren’t going very well. The first notable thing is Soros’ funding of the Secretary of State Project — which is basically an attempt to elect Secretaries of State around the country willing to impose ...

The Tea Party Was Tuesday's Biggest LoserBy John TantilloPublished November 04, 2010 | FoxNews.com I’m tired of hearing how important the Tea Party, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party were in the outcome of the recent elections. This is just journalists and commentators looking for the easy storyline. Let’s be honest, it’s all about individual candidates not parties. If it wasn’t, the Senate would be Republican and O’Donnell and Angle would be senators today. The winning candidates all understood the importance of what their Target Markets, their potential constituents, needed and satisfied these needs. Marco Rubio welcomed Tea Party support but ...

What the election means for health care
Post Date: 2010-11-04 09:21:57 by go65
5 Comments
People are asking us, what does the election outcome mean for health care? In short, not as much as many think. There’s a big difference between campaigning and legislating. In the campaign, Republican candidates appealed to their base, which was worked up about health reform without much understanding of what it does and how it works (this lack of understanding is broadly held, it’s not just a Republican base thing). The Republican base hates health reform because it’s a symbol of Obama. They think it’s a product of the far left, when in fact it’s chock full of Republican ideas. But that thinking is of principal relevance to the campaign, not to governing. When ...

Will Election Results Affect Israel Policy? Netanyahu might be pleased with GOP House takeover, but Obama’s setback does not herald big change. by Dan EphronNovember 03, 2010 Jack Guez / AFP-Getty ImagesIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attends an awards ceremony at Tel Aviv University. It wouldn’t be a huge leap to assume that Benjamin Netanyahu, the hawkish prime minister of Israel, is rejoicing at the large Republican gains in the midterm elections this week.

Election 2010: A Disaster for Peace (But look for the silver lining…)

The expected Election Day Republican “wave” that broke over our heads is a disaster for the anti-interventionist cause in the immediate sense – but there may be a silver lining. The disaster is embodied in the various GOP warmongers who will be placed in key positions in Congress, and a good case could be made that among the worst of the worst will be the probable majority leader in the House: Eric Cantor. Cantor is a walking, breathing stereotype, a neocon through and through, who pays lip service to the “tea party”-ish idea of limiting government spending, but is in reality committed to lavishing tax dollars on any project as long as it can be somehow ...

Obama Post-Bloodbath: Harder To Govern, Easier To Win In 2012

The Democratic slaughter Tuesday will make it harder for President Obama to govern -- but might make it easier for him to win re-election in 2012. The Obama White House will shift into re-election mode in a few months, and the 2012 presidential campaign headquarters will be Chicago again, if all goes as planned. But for now, a lot of attention on the political front will have to be on dealing with a GOP-controlled House and a Senate where Republican gains will make it harder to get the 60 votes needed to get anything done. Obama will reach out to Republicans during his press conference today. The Democratic slaughter Tuesday will make it harder for President Obama to govern -- but might ...

Obama's Grand Strategic Error

So President Obama really is a socialist after all. According to Stanley Kurtz in Radical-in-Chief the young Obama went to socialist conferences in the 1980s and then became participant in the extensive socialist community in Chicago. In the aftermath of the historic midterm elections it's safe to say that, whether the president really is a socialist or not, Americans don't care. Whether or not he walks and talks like a socialist, they just don't hold with a president in the White House that governs like a socialist. You can judge the depth of their displeasure for yourself by comparing the 2010 midterm election with other notable midterms at usmidtermelections.com. Of course, ...

Will Rand Paul filibuster the debt ceiling increase pending early next year and default the United States into bankruptcy?

His belief system calls for him to do this even though that would cause a worldwide financial collapse and an epic depression like the world has never seen. I predict that he won't, as while a Tea Party candidate like him won, all the big spending Republicans won as well. In fact, if this election had truly shown the Tea Party to have tapped extreme discontent with the Democrats, the Republican Party would of posted much larger gains than they did. The GOP will pressure Rand to toe the line and vote for a debt ceiling increase. And when President Obama wins re-election, I predict much if not all the minimal gains made by the GOP will be rolled back. Mitch McConnell will control Rand ...

After Barack Obama won the presidency with large majorities in the House and Senate, some commentators proclaimed that the president-elect had permanently altered the American political landscape, creating what the writer John Judis called "the Democratic realignment of 2008." For instance, former Clinton adviser Lanny J. Davis announced that Obama and his party were "likely to create a new governing majority coalition that could dominate American politics for a generation or more." Just two years later, however, many observers are faulting Obama for failing to prevent what seems likely to be an electoral debacle for the Democrats. Conservatives have tended to claim ...

A Superpower In Decline: Is The American Dream Over?

America has long been a country of limitless possibility. But the dream has now become a nightmare for many.

U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor’s Foreign Aid ‘Gimmick’ Is Dangerous

WASHINGTON (JTA) -- This election season in the United States has not been a great one for the U.S.-Israel relationship. Republicans and the tainted Emergency Committee for Israel launched mendacious ads and campaigns against pro-Israel Democrats across the country threatening the historic bipartisan support for Israel that has existed in Washington. The lies in these campaigns have been called out by an array of independent journalists from The New York Times to Salon, and politicizing support for Israel in this way has been condemned by key figures such as Israeli U.S. Ambassador Michael Oren. But now U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia -- the Republican whip and a key member of the GOP ...

Military Stimulus

I'm pretty skeptical that a war with Iran would do much for the economy. It's not just that the inevitable spike in energy prices would grind everything to a halt (and what if Russia or Venezuela or OPEC decide to stand with Iran?), but the war itself wouldn't be large enough. It's easy to forget, but we've spent the past seven years fighting two separate wars, and the economy isn't exactly roaring. When people think of war-as-stimulus, they're usually thinking about World War II. But when you want to think about World War II, you need to really think (pdf) about World War II: The deficits were run during an all-out war when 40 percent of GDP was spent on ...

The GOP: A One Hundred-Year Record Of Swindling The American People

In 1921 — eight years before the great depression — Republicans took over the helm of this nation for 12 years. During that time there were three Republican administrations, the first of which was the administration of Warren G. Harding. History remembers Harding’s administration for one thing more than anything other — scandal. It was during Harding’s presidency that the Teapot Dome Scandal erupted. His administration was considered the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States — until Nixon’s, then Reagan’s, and finally Bush’s..Next, in 1923, came Calvin Coolidge, the president that Ronald Reagan is said to have most ...

Is Rupert Murdoch Ignorant Or An Agent Of Zionist Deception?

In a recent speech at an ADL (Anti-Defamation League) dinner, Rupert Murdoch, arguably the most influential mainstream media chief on Planet Earth, made some extraordinary statements which must be challenged. But first it’s necessary for us all to be clear about what ADL’s role is. Its proclaimed objective is to “fight anti-Semitism”. In reality its main purpose under the leadership of Abe Foxman is to smear, harass, silence and preferably destroy those of all faiths and none who are critical of Zionism in action – critical of Israel’s policies in general and its contempt for international law in particular; and critical of the awesome power of the Zionist ...

“Rally to Restore Sanity” pledges to “strictly prohibit filming” at National Mall

Irony reaches new heights as Comedy Central is going to “strictly prohibit filming” of the Rally to Restore Sanity/March to Keep Fear Alive. PJTV’s Washington Bureau chief Richard Pollock inquired with the Comedy Central’s senior vice president of corporate communications Steve Albani about receiving credentials. Albani claimed that Pollock would not be given credentials because of limited supply, and as such there would be no room on the “press riser” for PJTV’s camera and crew. When Pollock said that he’d be fine with filming not on the press riser, Albani said that filming would be “strictly prohibited” between 3rd and 7th streets on the ...

The polls and pundits are all in alignment now. The Republican Party is headed for a victory Tuesday to rival the biggest and best of those that the party has known in the lifetime of most Americans. In 1938, the GOP won 72 seats in the House. In 1946, Republicans swept both houses and presented Harry Truman with a “fighting 80th Congress” that contained three future presidents: John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. In 1966, Republicans picked up 47 House seats to set up the comeback of Nixon, who had led the party out of the wilderness of Goldwater’s defeat. In 1994, the Republican Revolution added 52 House seats and captured both chambers for the first ...

Neoconservatism Defined
Post Date: 2010-10-29 14:04:45 by Brian S

It is difficult to regard neoconservatism with anything other than distaste. Leading neocons, such as Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Charles Krauthammer, and assorted members of the Kagan family, not only played a major role in the onset of the Iraq War, of blessed memory. No, this did not suffice for them. They propagandized for more wars: the blessings of democracy must be brought to all the nations of the Middle East. What David Frum, another of their number, called the Axis of Evil must be destroyed. Justin Vaïsse, a French expert on American politics who is a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, writes as a historian of a movement rather than as an advocate of doctrine of ...

Inside The Democrats' Post-Election Strategy For Congress

WASHINGTON -- With the enemy at the gates, and facing heavy casualties, Democrats in Congress are preparing to do what any beleaguered army does: head for the hills and leave booby-traps behind. The bigger the margin Republicans pile up next Tuesday, the less likely it is that the Democrats will be able to -- or want to -- do much when Congress reconvenes for a lame-duck session on Nov. 15. Rather, leadership aides tell me, they will want to do the minimum, pushing the toughest decisions on taxes, spending and debt forward to a newer, presumably more Republican, 112th Congress, which will convene for the first time on Jan. 3, 2011. Come January, the new Tea Party-infused GOP then would ...

Entitlement Reform: Tea Party’s Sound and Fury Signifies Nothing

Anyone who has not been living under a pumpkin lately knows that the single, biggest threat to this country’s economic future is its gimongous (hey, if Sarah Palin gets to invent words, why not me!) entitlement state. The massive unfunded liabilities of Medicare and Social Security are a noose around this country’s economic neck that tightens every passing day that nothing is done. Given this backdrop, the Tea Party movement’s raging about out-of-control federal spending and the need for fiscal discipline might seem like just what the doctor ordered, right? Wrong. Actually, the handling of this issue by the Tea Party and its anointed candidates might have arguably set the ...

October 26, 2010 The judges at Nuremberg after World War II had a much deeper understanding of the horrors of war than the neocon editors at the Washington Post do. Assessing the barbarity unleashed by the Nazis, the Nuremberg Tribunal identified “war of aggression” as “the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”What those judges meant was that every evil that comes with war – the slaughter of civilians, the brutality faced by soldiers, the depredations of hunger and disease, the destruction of homes and businesses, the temptation to torture, and all other war crimes – ...
