"James Golden considers his 26 years working with Rush Limbaugh to be the greatest professional blessing he could ever imagine. Originally from Queens, New York, James met Rush while working for a major media network and hasn’t looked back since.

...
"For the first half of the interview, Golden waxed passionate about race in America, and how America’s first black president has only harmed race relations in this country.

"Recalling when strong, two parent families were the norm for blacks, when hard work and merit allowed blacks to rise in society, and when homicide wasn’t the major cause of the death for young black males, Golden said with genuine regret, “Isn’t it a shame that for most of black people, the good old days were the days when things were segregated legally in this country?”

"He concludes, “What liberalism has done to black communities is horrific.' ”...

Henry Kissinger interview: ‘I don’t see the wisdom there once was’

The Spectator

The tragedy of America is that it entered all the wars with a consensus in favour of them, but within a defined period the legitimacy of the war became a major domestic issue, with some people arguing that withdrawal was the only legitimate objective.’

... "Kissinger is clearly nostalgic for more direct US action in defence of its interests. ‘In 1904 a resident of New Jersey called Ion Perdicaris was kidnapped by Moroccan brigands led by someone called Mulai Raisuli,’ he tells me. ‘The State Department sent a message demanding “This government wants Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead.”’ "

...

"In his book he describes America as ‘an ambivalent superpower’, so I asked him when this ambivalence began. ‘Vietnam,’ he replied. ‘That was when the moral basis for American foreign policy was challenged for the first time in our history.’ "

...

"Yet today, he considers, the situation is worse than during Vietnam. ‘I don’t see the wisdom in modern politicians that I once saw in men like Dean Acheson, David Bruce, or George Marshall. In my day the northeastern establishment dominated foreign policy formulation, but the composition and distribution of our population is very different today. There are fewer shared global concepts and experiences among the groups making high policy.’ There’s also isolationism; is he worried by the libertarian Kentucky senator Rand Paul, who is likely to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016? ‘Paul is an intelligent man, who might learn on the job. But it is not a risk we should take.’ "

...

Andrew Roberts concludes his column on Henry Kissinger with these words:  " ... the President can substantially do what he wants, provided he knows what that is!’ If President Obama needs to remind himself what he wants in foreign policy, all he needs to do is read World Order."

The New York Times book review excerpts this paragraph on the recent drifting of America's goals in the world over the past few administrations:

How do America’s current leaders shape up? Here the book is both irritatingly coy and implicitly devastating. There is no direct criticism of the Obama administration and even a slightly comic paragraph expressing Kissinger’s deep personal admiration for George W. Bush — in the midst of a section on the cluelessness of his foreign policy. But under the equivocation and the courtiership, the message is clear, even angry: The world is drifting, unattended, and America, an indispensable part of any new order, has yet to answer even basic questions, like “What do we seek to prevent?” and “What do we seek to achieve?” Its politicians and people are unprepared for the century ahead. Reading this book would be a useful first step forward.

 
 The Wall Street Journal review opens with this bit of perspective of Bush vs. Obama:
... "Since the terrorist attacks of 2001 upended our sense of the world, the United States has been governed by a conservative idealist who tried to impose American values on the Middle East, and failed calamitously, and a liberal idealist who invited America's adversaries to re-engage with us on the basis of a new humility and mutual respect, and found his hopes dashed.

"War On Terror: Top brass — both now serving and retired — say that President Obama's strategy is likely to fail against the Islamic State. Clearly he has put his presidential legacy before our national security.

"Two weeks after his inauguration in 2009, the president visited second graders at Washington's Capital City Public Charter School and told the kids, "You're excellent listeners!"
Mr. Obama, sadly, is not an excellent listener. But he does appreciate excellent listeners, like those second-graders — and the "sycophants" who work in his White House "cocoon," as columnist Charles Krauthammer recently put it in a Hugh Hewitt radio interview.

"There's now a growing rift between a commander-in-chief wedded to his peacenik political base and those he commands, because he won't listen to military experts." ... Read more...

Mr. Caruba is a scholar of this subject and cares very much about the topic. (He has even dropped one "l" from his name in order to leave a smaller carbon footprint)

Warning Signs

 

"In utter contempt for the intelligence of people here in the United States and around the world, a Climate Change Summit will be held on Tuesday, September 23^rd, by the United Nations, the source of decades of lies about “global warming” and—since theEarth has not warmed in the past 19 years—the new name “climate change.”

"To advance this greatest of lies, the lead-up to the event will be a massive march in New York on Sunday, Sept. 21^st. The purpose, as David Rothbard of the think tank, the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) says, is an avalanche of “Scary doomsday ‘science’ and the need for ‘urgent international action’ backed by a ‘People’s March’ of thousands of radical Green activists in the streets.

"CFACT has released “Climate Hype Exposed”, a report that exposes the global warming campaign’s junk science, wasteful policies, and the threat to freedom and prosperity it represents. You can download it." .... Full article...
