In the Syrian rubble of Barack Obama’s foreign policy lies a moment of opportunity for conservatives. It is a moment for building a muscular foreign policy based on a recognition of good and evil; on an unapologetic conviction that the United States stands firmly on the right side of that ledger because it stands for the liberty and equal dignity of every human being; and, therefore, on an unwavering commitment to have our interventions guided solely by American national interests.
It is a Ronald Reagan moment. Now, all we need is a Ronald Reagan. For now, we have only pretenders, split into two camps.

Definitely worth reading the entire article.
Russia has Russian soldiers on their border.
No gay pride marches in their army.
13% flat tax, no capital gains tax.
Now the answer is becoming clear: freedom and the American dream are available in Russia. Not here.
Who would have thought it?
Russia - the “new America”.... what we used to be.
A great quote from the article:
“Like Communism, Islamic supremacism threatens America and the West comprehensively — it attacks both forcibly and culturally; it pressures without and infiltrates within. A conservative national-security policy would respond in kind. “
Cultural Marxism always leads to economic Marxism.
“Today, the enemy is Islamic supremacism, which inevitably reigns whenever Islam is imposed as a governing system. We must abandon the notion that this Islam is a religion.”
Obama’s policy has been flawed and rotten at its core. He gambled that the al Qaeda dominated rebels would overthrow Assad and dislodge the Iranians from their forward Syrian bases. He ignored not only their inherent evil nature but the horrific anti Christian atrocities these lowlifes were committing. The result has been a strategic disaster. Iran has located mobile short range ballistic missiles in Syria which prevent Israel from attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities without suffering a devastating counterattack. Thanks to Obama’s ineptness, the Iranians will have their nuclear weapons within a year.

What makes you think it’s ineptness...
All I know is that despite the swooning over the article I can’t see that it really has a point other than what we already know. Assad, Iran, and the islamists are bad and we should oppose them by some vague means.
Personally I think Reagan would stay out of it and let the muslims kill each other while offering a strong defense of Israel in the event of an attack.
The alliance of Islamists and the left here and abroad has drawn my attention for some time. A marriage of convenience for certain, since they couldn't coexist peacefully long were they ever did defeat a more or less free America and like-minded states. Islamists, as their primitive nature dictates, cannot prosper in advanced, structured societies and no doubt their apparent allies know this which makes them nothing more than a bloody implement of the left.
And McCarthy's right about the Left's/Islamists' subversion strategy from within their targets. Just examine Obama's mentors, advisers, appointees and on it goes.
Islamic supremacism "threatens America and the West comprehensively," so the U.S. foreign/military policy in the Middle East since 1990 has been built around a strategy of removing dictators who have been the strongest regional defense against radical Islam for decades?
ROFL.
Islam’s war against civilization is FAR from over.
I agree...
I’m tired of all this hand wringing about every place else but what is happening at home in the USA...
It just seems to me that we’re being distracted from serious domestic issues with a lot of key jangling in the mideast. It reminds of Hugo Chavez screaming about evil America as a means of distracting the people from their domestic problems.
I’m tired of these pundits and columnists...
Nobody talks about the real issues... everything is some kind of duplicitous distraction...
I just buy more ammo...
