You could come up with plenty of reasons for Obama NOT to take Hillary Clinton as his Veep. He’s running on a platform of change and the Clintons are “old school” politics at its worst. They don’t like each other. The Clintons have a lot of baggage. Hill and her hubby have insulted Obama numerous […]

A snippet from an actual conversation I had on IM last night, (Anonymous friend): You feeling good about November?

One of the Left’s weird little hiccups on foreign policy is their inclination to oppose using our military when it will benefit us while supporting the use of our military in situations that have very little to do with our national interest.
