There's no accounting for truth is there?
No, sadly, there isn't. I never thought that we, especially here, would look the other way because a person belongs to "the party." It's sad, very sad.
Interesting article, thanks for posting it.
I do not agree with the overall argument, but I think that the writer is insightful. Especially how he points out that the Arab regimes have been embarrassed and caught short - they thought that Israel would give the Shias a short sharp blast, but now, it is a much more challenging conflict.
The news from nearly all areas that the President can influence is negative, not because the media is spinning tales, but because the President is doing so badly. I never would have believed in 3 a gallon gas, but it is a permanent fixture now. If it would have risen slowly over a decade or so, I could accept that it is a natural part of the market. Instead, it hit like a storm out of the blue, then we are told it is historically cheap, not that there is a monopolistic force in effect. There is not enough electric power plants to support a growing economy, rolling blackouts are but a symptom of an energy policy that has been ignored. It hurts all the more, because I had high hopes for Republican fixes to so many problems, and they......along with the current occupant of the WH...........have turned out to be only more of the same-o same.
