There are principles worth fighting for in all these debates.  There are battles worth taking on here with health care, the future direction of our military, and how to create a business-friendly climate for the creation of much-needed jobs &#8212; all these need to have solid policy prescriptions.  When we feel that our concerns [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a stunning level of moral equivalence demonstrated by one sign seen at Columbia University yesterday: “Ahmadinejad is bad, but Bush is worse”. It is hard to explain how this makes any sense when we consider what we know about both men. Liberals still consider the 2000 election stolen. That’s the primary reason behind [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not about that. He asks if &#8220;white America&#8221; is ready to elect an African-American as our President, and cites our previous history with segregation, slavery, and civil rights.  [...]]]></description>

They reappear every July 4th to encourage us not to fly the flag or to embrace anything remotely patriotic, simply because America has a flawed history.

To the extent that this statement trivializes the threat we face from Islamic extremists, absolutely not. I wonder, however, if in the desire to achieve stability in the Middle East we have unwisely propped up dictators and terrorist sympathizers, to achieve the [...]]]></description>
