Once, many years ago, there was a Texan in the White House by the name of Lyndon Baines Johnson, better known as LBJ. And there were many legends about LBJ. A number are recounted in a privately printed best-selling book, "A Texan Looks at Lyndon" by J. Events Haley. Haley, born in 1901, was a rancher, a segregationist, a fierce opponent of FDR and his policies, and a good friend who had ridden the Texas cattle trails to Chicago as a young man...

One of the challenges in arguing about the use of the filibuster is that the filibuster has changed drastically in recent decades, but it's done so quietly. Quietly enough that people don't really understand that it's changed at all. That leads to an understandable complacency: If we've always had the filibuster, and we've done pretty well thus far, then maybe the filibuster isn't worth mucking with.

Tonight, Obama pulls a Wilson-FDR-Johnson. Having been elected as the relative peace candidate, he is escalating his war on Afghanistan. He is also urging young Afghan men to enlist in the government army of an oil lobbyist and die for the US and its pipeline. Actually, this is Nixon's Vietnamization ...

Earlier this year, President Obama described the conflict in Afghanistan as a "war of necessity," but the plan he announced last night at West Point bears disturbing reminders of the doomed strategy doggedly pursued by the last Democratic president to commit the United States to a major land war in Asia. President Johnson's Vietnam strategy rejected decisive military action in favor of a policy of gradual escalation that conveniently allowed...
