The left goes after Rubio, Cruz & now Cain!

Some of us are old enough to remember the Clarence Thomas nomination to the Supreme Court back in 1991.

It was ugly, awful and not a good day for the US Senate.  It was "a high-tech lynching", as Clarence Thomas told the Senators.

We spoke about the Rubio/Cain stories with Alice Linahan and Barry Casselman on the Monday show.

In the case of Cain, it is a pathetic attempt to discredit his ascending candidacy.   Larry Kudlow is right on target about the story and its worthless accusations: Cain Charges Are Clearly Vague

I guess that Herman Cain is not "your NAACP kind of guy" or a "Congressional Black Caucus kind of thinker"! 

Herman Cain escaped the liberal plantation years ago!  He took a different path.  He is a man who made something out of himself through hard work and strong ethics.

In the case of Rubio, and now Cruz in Texas, they are challenging the family history.  They are arguing about the definition of "exile"!  (I'm glad that The Dallas Morning News posted an editorial about this)

These articles will fail because the public can smell a "hit piece" or bad journalism. 

However, they are a prelude to the 2012 campaign.  Get ready!  

The left does not like people like Herman Cain or Marco Rubio.  They don't like those of us who look at the issues and reject "victim hood" and "dependency"!

The Cowboys finish a horrible weekend for the local fans!

On Friday night, the Rangers lost game 7.  On Saturday afternoon, the Texas A&M Aggies lost in overtime.  

On Sunday night, the Cowboys capped a terrible weekend with a 34-7 loss in Philadelphia.

BAD BAD BAD!

How bad were the Cowboys?  The answer is really bad.  They stunk.  

Tony Romo spent much of the game on the field or running away from the Eagles' defense.  

And Sean Lee left the game with an injury!  He was one of the Cowboys' best stories this season.  Let's hope that he is not lost for the year.

The 3-4 Cowboys are now in big trouble.   They looked flat and trail the NY Giants by 2 full games in the NFC East.   They are in trouble because they still have to play against NY, Washington & Philadelphia, the three division rivals.

Seattle is next but it's hard to make predictions for the Cowboys.   Dallas should beat Seattle but it's hard to predict with this team.  

What team will show up next week?  Who knows?

Why aren't we talking about foreign policy?

We've always lived in a very complicated world.  However, it looks like things are a bit more complicated these days.

China tops the list because of its growing economic, political and potentially military importance.  China is also advancing its interests in Latin America because it needs more and more natural resources for its economy.

Speaking of Latin America, Brazil is slowly turning into an international economic powerhouse.  Add Colombia, Argentina and specially Chile.

Mexico is in the middle of a terrible war with cartels.  It's hard to tell how it will end up.

Europe is in the middle of a financial storm.    What's going to happen in the Middle East?  Well, your guess is as good as mine.

And so on and so on!

Nevertheless, our political class is not paying much attention to the world.  

I understand that domestic issues dominate our thinking these days.  However, we can't forget the world or it will reintroduce itself by harshly knocking at our door.
