Someone should read more broadly.
Another elitist who thinks we need the smartest guy in the room.
Oh wait - we already have him and he wrecked the national standing and alliance of the United States in the process.
Alan Carruba thinks he’s the smartest guy who ever lived.
No pizza for you!
Interesting read and something that should be considered, but won’t be.
A religious-type fervor has developed on FR lately, the object of the worship being Cain.
No criticism of him can be accepted or even discussed.
I just read, but did not participate in, the Sunday Morning Talk show thread and quite a few people were vowing to write in or not vote if their candidate wasn’t selected.
It’s scary.
I want an American president who is expert in AMERICAN policy. If he masters that, and deals honestly and firmly with all foreigners,, we will all be better off.
“expertise” in foreign policy is code word for being an insider to the game designed to screw the US taxpayer and patriot in the name of globalism. If you ALWAYS put America first,,to them this shows you aren’t properly versed in foreign policy.
Foreign policy is simple if you always put America first, and act honestly. Every nation, friend and foe should expect that all theur dealings with us a conducted in the sanitizing daylight, that nobody is being cheated, and will be free of the fraud and intrigue that Europe specializes in.
I'm not being a wisenheimer, but who has articulated a defined policy on Iran? When the question comes up all the candidates say we should be strong and clear, and then they mumble stuff about sanctions and supporting Israel and "the international community."
First of all, the part about China is blatantly untrue.
From a a commentary written in 2005 about China -
http://www.economicfreedomcoalition.com/news/press-opinion-120305.asp
“The U.S. should be less concerned about China’s economic potential than by the military threat it poses. Three Chinese spies were recently indicted in the U.S. for conspiring to steal numerous naval warship technologies. This summer China and Russia participated in a week-long joint military exercise. China’s build up of nuclear, military and space technologies to rival the U.S., and its saber-rattling over Taiwan’s independence, signals a commitment to more red, not green. “

Isn’t that why a President has advisors that are knowledgeable in the things that he is not knowledgeable in.
No one knows everything about everything. I would prefer a President that admits that he doesn’t know something than one that falsely claims that he does.
That is one of the problems with Mr. o. He doesn’t have any advisors that know any more than he does.
Pssst...he’s not that knowledgeable on domestic policy either.
Well, I don't know about that...
Maybe he means Perry. I've never noticed what he described with Cain. Cain answers directly and if he doesn't know something he is refreshingly honest about it. So this is an out and out lie and it's actually irrelevant in this post-Obama era where we have a President that is still clueless on foreign policy after 3 years on the job.
It is not mastery of facts that make a leader, it’s mastery of principle.
Many an idiot-savant has mastered “facts” as such. They don’t do much more than show off.
Someone grounded in principles can get any number of experts to lay out facts. The set of principles put them together in a meaningful way.
"Dr.Kissinger have you ever heard of Alan Caruba?"
"Yes, he's a moron."
