U.S. HISTORY & POLITICS SINCE THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY ON NOVEMBER 22, 1963 -- THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE OF AMERICANS KNOWING AMERICAN HISTORY & DRAWING LESSONS FROM IT -- THE LESSONS THAT PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA COULD DRAW FROM AMERICAN HISTORY

REPUBLICAN PARTY "MODERATES" & THE GOP'S DISASTEROUS LOSS IN THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL & CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS:  THE ROLE PLAYED BY THE "MODERATES" IN BRINGING ON THIS LATEST ELECTORAL CATASTROPHE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY -- THE RINOS POLITICAL MESSAGE -- THEIR CONTINUING PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN AGAINST CONSERVATISM & REPUBLICAN PARTY CONSERVATIVES -- THE ASSISTANCE THAT REPUBLICAN "MODERATES" RECEIVE FROM LIBERAL DEMOCRATS -- HOW JOHN MCCAIN & HIS PERSONAL FOLLOWERS UNDERMINED HIS CAMPAIGN FOR THE PRESIDENCY -- THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S DIRE NEED FOR STRONG, COURAGEOUS, & PRINCIPLED CONSERVATIVE NATIONAL LEADERSHIP

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, LIBERAL DEMOCRATS, & U.S. FOREIGN AID POLICY:  THE COMING OBAMA PRESIDENCY, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY-CONTROLLED CONGRESS, & THE FOREIGN AID LEGISLATION THAT LIBERAL LEFTIST POLITICIANS INTEND TO FOIST ON AMERICANS -- HOW THE GLOBAL POVERTY ACT & COMPARABLE LEGISLATION WILL WRECK THE AMERICAN ECONOMY, LEAVE AMERICANS BEREFT OF THE ENERGY THEY REQUIRE, & RUIN THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN NATION -- WHY FOREIGN AID PROGRAMS ADVOCATED BY THE POLITICAL LEFT & IMPLEMENTED BY LIBERAL LEFTIST POLITICIANS & BUREAUCRATS FAIL TO ENHANCE U.S. NATIONAL DEFENSE & SECURITY

U.S. ENERGY POLICY & THE AMERICAN ECONOMY:  IMPACT OF THE IDEOLOGY & PROPAGANDA OF THE ENVIRONMENTALIST MOVEMENT ON U.S. ENERGY POLICY -- ANTI-ENERGY POLICIES IN THE U.S.A.:  REFUSAL OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO PERMIT EXPLORATION & DRILLING FOR OIL & NATURAL GAS IN ALASKA'S ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE & ON EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE CONTINENTAL SHELF -- THE IMPACT OF ETHANOL MANDATES ON U.S. DOMESTIC OIL PRODUCTION -- THE LIKELY ECONOMIC IMPACT OF A "WINDFALL" PROFITS TAX IMPOSED ON THE AMERICAN OIL INDUSTRY

TROUBLE FOR ENVIRONMENTALISTS, LEFTIST POLITICIANS, & THEIR "CAP-&-TRADE" SCHEMES TO INDUCE A SHIFT FROM COAL, NATURAL GAS, & OIL TO NON-FOSSIL ENERGY: DISCOURAGING THE LONGTERM INVESTMENTS NEEDED TO REDUCE EMISSIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE & OTHER GREENHOUSE GASES INTO THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE -- THE SLUMPING PRICE OF CARBON IN EUROPE'S EMISSION TRADING -- TROUBLE AHEAD FOR U.S. PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S PROPOSAL TO SET UP A CAP-&-TRADE PROGRAM TO CAUSE ELECTRCITY COSTS IN THE U.S.A. TO SKYROCKET & THEREBY TO PRICE COAL OUT OF AMERICAN POWER PLANTS -- POLITICAL PROBLEMS WITH A STRAIGHT CARBON TAX -- THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STEADILY DECLINING GLOBAL TEMPERATURES

RELIGION, IDEOLOGY, U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY, & THE WORLDWIDE ISLAMIST JIHAD: ISLAM AS THE ANIMATING FORCE BEHIND ISLAMIST TERRORISM -- INABILITY TO UNCOVER ANY INSTANCE WHERE ISLAMIST IDEOLOGY DEVIATES FROM ISLAMIC SCRIPTURE -- THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POLITICAL CORRECTNESS & THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S WILLFULLY BLIND ATTITUDE TOWARD ISLAMIC TERRORISM -- TERRORISM AS FUNDAMENTALLY A POLITICAL ISSUE OF NATIONAL SELF-DEFENSE, RATHER THAN A LEGAL ISSUE OF ENFORCING CRIMINAL LAW -- THE ONLY SENSIBLE COUNTERTERRORISM STRATEGY:  A HOLISTIC, COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY THAT BRINGS TO BEAR ALL OF THE TOOLS OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING THE COURTS, THE MILITARY, THE INTELLIGENCE SERVICES, & THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY -- ALL FUTURE U.S. FOREIGN & NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY BASED ON RECOGNITION OF THE CENTRAL ROLE THAT ISLAMIST IDEOLOGY PLAYS IN TERRORISM

A FULL ANALYSIS OF THE 2008 ELECTION INDICATES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S NEED TO RESTORE ITS COMMITMENT TO CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES & PRACTICES OF GOVERNMENT.  THE NUMBERS BEAR OUT THE FACT THAT AMERICANS STILL SUPPORT TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES & ARE LOCATED CENTER-RIGHT ON THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM.  BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS THE CANDIDATE OF SPECIAL INTERESTS, MUCH MORE SO THAN WAS JOHN SIDNEY MCCAIN.   ADOPTION & IMPLEMENTATION OF OBAMA'S TAX POLICIES COULD VERY WELL BE A MAJOR SOURCE OF HIS UNDOING WHEN HE RUNS FOR RELECTION IN 2012.  IN FINAL PERSPECTIVE, THE NUMBERS DO NOT SUPPORT THE CLAIM THAT OBAMA'S ELECTION VICTORY WAS A LANDSLIDE.

IRAN, THE U.S.A., & THE SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST & CENTRAL ASIA:  NEITHER THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION NOR THE COMING OBAMA PRESIDENCY APPEARS WILLING TO TAKE THE MEASURES NECESSARY TO DETER OR CONTAIN A NUCLEAR IRAN.  THE NATIONAL LEADERSHIP IN WASHINGTON, D.C. IS SIGNALING THAT THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC HAS A GREEN LIGHT TO CLAIM REGIONAL DOMINANCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST & CENTRAL ASIA. & TO CARRY OUT ITS THREATS TO ANNIHILATE ISRAEL.  WASHINGTON IS ALSO SIGNALING TO U.S. ALLIES IN THE REGION THAT THEY ARE ON THEIR OWN & THAT THE U.S. COMMITMENT TO PROTECT THEM IS EMPTY.

U.S. DIPLOMATIC ENGAGEMENT WITH IRAN:  THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION'S PLAN TO ESTABLISH A U.S. INTERESTS SECTION IN TEHRAN MANNED BY U.S. DIPLOMATS -- AN ILL-THOUGHT-OUT & POORLY TIMED FOREIGN POLICY INITIATIVE THAT SHOULD BE DROPPED

CHINA PLACES A VERY HIGH PRICE ON ITS GOING ALONG WITH U.S. & WESTERN ENVIRONMENTALISM & AGREEING TO A NEW GLOBAL WARMING AGREEMENT AS A SUCCESSOR TO THE KYOTO PROTOCOL.  CHINA'S MOVE EXPLODES THE WHOLE IDEA OF SUCH AN ENVIRONMENTAL PACT.  NOT TO WORRY!  THE EARTH HAS ENTERED A GLOBAL COOLING PERIOD!

THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION & PROPAGANDA DISSEMINATED BY THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN:  CLASS WARFARE, CLASS ENVY, & FEAR -- THE MESSAGE OF LIBERALS & THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY EVER SINCE FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT TOOK OVER THE WHITE HOUSE IN THE MIDST OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION
