RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE

HIPOLITIX

Listen to

internet radio with HIPOLITIX on Blog Talk Radio

I was a guest again on the Hipolitix radio show tonight hosted by Mark Jerrell.    We debated and discussed the relevancy and influence of the Tea Party in the 2012 presidential campaign, how the GOP presidential candidates are being received by the Tea Party, the major campaign issues impacting the race for the White House and an assessment of the challenges President Obama faces as he ramps up his presidential campaign.  

Please listen to a very lively, interactive and fair and balanced discussion on the above topics. For my previous guest appearance on Hipolitix please visit the following link entitled "President Obama's Change Results".

FOUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES AS 2012 RESOLUTIONS

America is about to face another full year, hopefully the last, of the Obama regime’s affronts to our founding father’s principles and the canons of the Constitution. In fact King Obama has kicked off 2012 in fine form thumbing his nose again at the Constitution by appointing Richard Cordray to serve as director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an outgrowth of the Obama-led Dodd-Frank bill that empowers the federal government to pick financial institution bailout winners and losers. Seem familiar? Just think Solyndra. Mr. Obama enjoys playing Russian roulette with America’s economy.

THE MORALITY OF CAPITALISM

While penning this ode to capitalism I peered out my window onto my garden. It was in its final days of full flower and the dynamics of its beauty caused my mind to drift into a pensive state. I found myself enthralled by the luminous emerald green grass, the strength and dignity of the mighty oak, the vibrant bursts emanating from the stately maple, and the mosaic-like array of roses, peonies and hydrangea thriving in a garden bed of rich, fertile soil. But while gazing onto this ornate landscape, admiring and grateful for God’s handiwork, I had an epiphany for I was also witnessing first hand the wonders of capitalism.

PRESIDENT OBAMA’S RESET BUTTON

The following is an editorial by James A. Ward, CAPT, USN (ret.)

President Obama is no ‘appeaser’, just ask Osama Bin Laden. Or just ask the rich who do not pay their fair share. Charles Krauthammer concluded in his piece entitled “The wages of appeasement” that Mr. Obama is a weak President appeasing Russia and Iran. In 2008 President Obama decided upon a policy of resetting relationships with Russia and Iran because his predecessors failed to forge positive relations between America and these two adversaries. The President sent Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with a symbolic reset button. In 2008 many reports predicted Mr. Obama’s charisma, superior intellect and presence would guide him as solver of America’s major problems.

THE SOLDIER'S CHRISTMAS POEM

Merry Christmas to our brave troops and God bless them always.

ADMIRAL CHESTER NIMITZ'S CHRISTMAS DAY EPIPHANY

Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz

Divine Providence intercedes in varied fashions and under opportune circumstances. In the wake of the attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 Divine Providence revealed itself on Christmas day, December 25, 1941.

OBAMA'S DISEMPLOYMENT DOCTRINE

Under President Obama's Disemployment doctrine unemployment has almost doubled compared to the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations

America’s ‘Obama years’ ushered in a new economic doctrine best described as the "Disemployment doctrine", a dubious honor but a reality nonetheless.

President Obama’s Disemployment doctrine is the incarnation of state sponsored legislative and regulatory controls designed to resemble those of Western Europe’s welfare state structure, with resultant employment solely dependent on these influences. As the EU-27 languishes at a 9.3% unemployment rate over the last three years under mostly socialist driven business regulatory policies, President Obama has followed the EU’s governmental model causing Americans to struggle under similar unemployment rates.

GOP IDEALISTS AND REALISTS HAVE CULTURAL CONSEQUENCES

President John F. Kennedy’s message of giving back to society instilled a positive cultural message of altruism and self-sacrifice

President Barack Obama's divisive class warfare message of taking from society has a negative influence on American culture exemplified by the onset of the anti-American terrorist-like tactics of the Occupy Wall Street movement

In my previous article entitled The GOP Prerogative: The Idealist or The Realist I delineated two different approaches to leadership represented within the current crop of GOP presidential candidates. The idealists, represented by Gingrich, Cain, Bachmann and Santorum, are guided by venerating America’s First Principles inscribed in the Declaration of Independence. The realists, comprised of Romney, Perry, Paul and Huntsman, would take a more pragmatic approach to leadership. Each approach would manifest differently in their governance and policymaking.
