Virginia Right!

I wish my friend and former co-worker Brian was here – he passed away about three months ago.  We used to discuss politics a lot.  He was liberal and I am libertarian and conservative but we respected one another!  Brian would be so excited for me for either Condoleezza Rice or Bobby Jindal for VP [...]

I love former Undersecretary of State and UN Ambassador (I am surprised he can stomach the continuing nonsense in NY called the United Nations!) John Bolton.  He’s a sovereignty man and although more interventionist than I am comfortable with, Ambassador Bolton puts America first, last and always.  I hope President Mitt Romney appoints Bolton to [...]

The NY Times gets it mostly wrong again in its editorial, Detained in Libya. A Libyan militia has detained four officials of the International Criminal Court since Thursday on spurious charges. They should be released immediately. The Times is probably right as far as it goes.  ICC officials should be treated with respect.  But here’s [...]

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton, who should have run for President and who I have suggested as Ron Paul’s running mate, says much of the same things about Europe I have been saying (perhaps in a more scholarly way!) in this article in the Washington Times! Very little media attention, however, is focused on a [...]

I strongly support the candidacy of Cong. Ron Paul for President in 2012. However, I acknowledge that he has one issue that troubles me and many others:  Iran and related issues.  As he was quoted in Gary Bauer’s End of Day report on November 7, 2011: When it comes to foreign policy, Ron Paul’s views [...]

Amanda Carey at the Daily Caller suggests that former MN Governor and now former presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty’s staffers are waiting for Chris Christie: Team Pawlenty is waiting on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to make a decision about entering the field as a presidential candidate, The Daily Caller learned Friday. But it may be [...]

There are some news reports that indicate that former UN Ambassador and presidential adviser John R. Bolton might run for the White House in 2012.  As I blogged before, Bolton would be great on the sovereignty issue and is probably a solid mainstream conservative on other issues.  However, he is certainly a national security conservative, [...]

The Council has spoken, the votes have been cast, and the results are in for this week, carved eternally in the Akashic records of cyberspace. This week we ended up with tie between two superb pieces, The Razor’s Betting It All And Losing , a great piece about the pain of indebtedness and how politicians [...]

The Richmond chapter of the Federalist Society (a wonderful group of conservative/libertarian attorneys) hosted a very special guest – Ambassador John R. Bolton, now a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and Fox News contributor.  I did not know Ambassador Bolton was trained as an attorney and he has served in the Reagan administration [...]

Two stories discuss the possibility that former UN Ambassador John Bolton might run for President.  It is an intriguing long shot choice.  The Conflicted Libertarian would be conflicted.  Bolton is a “neo-con” hawk; that’s bad: He [Bolton] has assailed the administration’s “policy chaos” in Afghanistan. And he has unabashedly called for a military strike on [...]

The question before the Disruptive court is, are you ready for a John Bolton presidential run?  The answer: Yes.   Yes I am .   John Bolton has conquered enemies who haven’t even attacked America yet. When pressed as to whether that means he would consider a run, Bolton seemed to suggest that he might do it, at the very least to help put national security issues at the top of the debate agenda. “In the sense that I want to make sure that not only in the Republican Party, but in the body politic as a whole, people are aware of threats that remain to the United States . You know, as somebody who writes op-eds and appears on the television, I appreciate as well as anybody …

It’s great to see someone you respect and admire agree with you.  In this case, it gets even better:  Its the former UN Ambassador John Bolton.  Bolton went to the UN with the right attitude:  Who needs the UN?  He suggests that the eurozone is not America’s friend, starting with the title:  Don’t Mourn the Euro: It’s [...]
