Iran Declares Victory in Nuclear Talks
Posted by admin / Under USA Broadcasting
Since the beginning of the P5+1 nuclear talks with Iran, foreign policy establishment figures have been bubbling with optimism about the negotiations leading to a deal that will settle the crisis. The inauguration of the talks is considered a master stroke that will head off the possibility of a Western or Israeli attack on Iran and allow the European Union to back off its pledge to implement an oil embargo on the Islamist regime. All that will be needed, we are told, is a little patience, and then EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton will broker an agreement that will...

Georgetown prof: US not overstretched; ‘our world role is affordable’
Posted by admin / Under USA Broadcasting
Don’t believe the claims by those on the left — and some on the right — that America is overstretched abroad, says Georgetown University professor Robert J. Lieber. “[W]e managed to maintain the world’s most advanced and capable military (including a volunteer army), fight two wars plus a global war on terror, and yet at the peak last year we spent just 5 percent of gross domestic product on defense — a figure lower than the average during any of the Cold War years,” Lieber told The Daily Caller. “The percentage is already on the way down, toward less than...

Catholic Word of the Day: CONFLICT OF RIGHTS AND DUTIES, 04-27-12
Posted by admin / Under USA Broadcasting
Featured Term (selected at random):CONFLICT OF RIGHTS AND DUTIES The clash between one person's rights and another person's duties. Such conflict is only apparent, since all rights and duties are derived from law, and all just law is derived from the natural law based on the eternal law of God. And God cannot both command and forbid the same thing. The stringer right or duty prevails; the weaker simply ceases to be a right or duty at all. In practice, however, it can be extremely difficult to determine which is the stronger right or duty. Certain general norms are commonly...

America, I am in Your Debt
Posted by admin / Under USA Broadcasting
To have been given so much—opportunity, life, and liberty—by a country I cherish, and to see it now potentially deteriorate economically, culturally, and politically into the very system that my parents risked their lives to escape, pains me. The torment of watching my mother ingest her own wedding band, though compelling, is no match for the agony I now feel as I watch and listen to the naïveté of a segment of ideologically imbued Americans paint the country I love as the world’s enemy. They relish in casting the U.S.A. as a force of evil and tyranny, while the truth...

US now has highest corporate tax rates in the world (Not an April Foll's joke)
Posted by admin / Under USA Broadcasting
This OECD chart (bottom of the page) published by Heritage says it all: ____________________________________ The U.S. rate is well above the 25 percent average of other developed nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). In fact, the U.S. rate is almost 15 percentage points higher than the OECD average. This gaping disparity means every other country that we compete with for new investment is better situated to land that new investment and the jobs that come with it, because the after-tax return from that investment promises to be higher in those lower-taxed nations. Our high rate also...
