A warning on gun rights

Christian Whiton
Fmr. State Dept Sr. Advisor

There’s a movie that shows what can happen when only the military and police have guns. It’s called “Schindler’s List.”

The devil wears pinstripes?

5:37 PM 12/11/2012

Is Obama about to send the villainous inspiration behind “The Devil Wears Prada” to be our ambassador to Britain. Perhaps so — and why not?

Re-elected Obama would be weakest president in a generation

9:38 PM 11/04/2012

Were Barack Obama to be re-elected on Tuesday, America would have one of its weakest second-term presidents ever precisely when it needs a strong one.

Israel may give war a chance

11:43 AM 08/27/2012

Will the close presidential race start a war? It just might.

Allies hoping for Obama loss

1:29 PM 07/19/2012

The people abroad who can help America’s economy and security the most want change in the White House this November. This includes the governments that are some of America’s most important friends and the dissidents resisting those that are not America’s friends.

I, Barack Obama

8:29 PM 06/15/2012

We learned two things today: President Obama can apparently nullify laws he dislikes and he doesn’t much care for questions from mortals, especially the uppity journalists at the Daily Caller.

Biden playing the fool foreign policy

11:44 PM 04/26/2012

Did Jumpin’ Joe Biden really just raise foreign policy as a supposed asset to the Obama campaign? Did he really imply that Mitt Romney would not have killed bin Laden? Did the gray eminence of Obama foreign policy really just say that “the president has a big stick,” hopefully referring to Theodore Roosevelt’s idea that the U.S. should “speak softly, and carry a big stick”?

Obama offers excuses for gas prices, Newt offers solutions

7:07 PM 02/23/2012

On his way to a $30,000-a-person fundraiser on Thursday, President Obama paused to deflect the blame for the sky-high gasoline prices that are the latest hallmark of his administration — and the latest assault on the middle class from Washington. Contrary to what Mr. Obama said, there is a way to cut gas prices rapidly; it’s just incompatible with his ideology.

Romney wrong on minimum wage

3:03 PM 02/05/2012

Wednesday was not a good day for Mitt Romney or economics. First Governor Romney said, “I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there --- if it needs repair, I’ll fix it.” Later, trying to dig out, he reaffirmed his previous support for automatic raises in the minimum wage.

From Atlanta with love

2:30 AM 12/24/2011

Earlier this week, shortly after North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il died, Jimmy Carter sent Kim Jong-il's son, Kim Jong-un, a letter expressing his condolences. This is my best guess of what one of Carter's letters to Kim Jong-un would look like:

A decade later, what about victory?

1:48 PM 09/07/2011

In the weeks and years that followed the 9/11 attacks, Americans rose to defend civilization against terrorists and their sponsors around the globe. Despite occasional setbacks and persistent controversy, the U.S. and its allies have disrupted terrorist groups and prevented a repeat of 9/11. But a decade later, we have yet to fully grasp what the enemy is and how to defeat it permanently — much less organize our instruments of national power for victory.

Say it loud, say it proud – America won in Iraq, twice

11:03 AM 08/04/2010

The lack of controversy over the August 31 transition ending combat operations in Iraq is a testament to the U.S. military. Though few are willing to declare it, America won the war in Iraq. Twice.

Buying time for Iran’s Green Movement

12:00 AM 02/11/2010

The mounting protests in Iran leave little doubt that the Tehran regime has entered its final decade. The mass expression of public dissent expected today coincides with the day 31 years ago when the Iranian revolution was launched. The Islamist theocracy that resulted commenced a low-intensity war against the United States and our allies, which has continued to this day and could soon get worse.

Barbarians at the gate, with nukes

3:40 PM 01/12/2010

Eight years ago, George W. Bush said that “we will not allow the world’s most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world’s most dangerous weapons.”  Unfortunately, less than a decade later, that scenario is becoming reality.  Nuclear threats have drawn steadily nearer and Washington’s polices to counter them have failed.  North Korea has a nuclear capability and Iran seems close to one.  The current and prior two administrations share blame, but President Obama is making matters worse with his profound weakness and unrealistic talk of nuclear abolition.  Without change, the U.S. will spend the 2010s reeling from these expanding threats.
