The Great Divide In American Foreign Policy

There Are Cycles In American Politics. Us Cycles Are Even More Pronounced Because We Americans Have A Totally Entrepreneurial Presidential System. We Don't Have Parliamentary Opposition Parties With A Shadow Prime Minister And Shadow Cabinets. Every Four Years, The Opposition Reinvents Itself.

An Oil Crisis Looms, Prices Are Spiking - And Our President Is Extolling Algae. After Solyndra, Keystone And Promises Of Seaweed In Their Gas Tanks, Americans Sense A President So Ideologically Antipathetic To Fossil Fuels - Which We Possess In Staggering Abundance - That He Is Utterly Unserious About The Real World Of Oil In Which The Rest Of Us Live.

If The President Signs Any Of It, Good. If He Vetoes, It Will Be Clarifying. Who Then Will Be The Party Of No? The Vetoed Legislation Would Become The Framework For A 2016 Gop Platform. Let The Debate Begin.

I Don't Know About You, But I Lie Awake Nights Worrying About Canadian Uranium. I Know These People. I Grew Up There. You Have No Idea What They're Capable Of Doing. If Sidney Crosby Hadn't Scored That Goal To Win The Olympic Gold Medal, There's No Telling What Might Have Ensued.

The Free Lunch Is The Essence Of Modern Liberalism.
