“I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do
not believe that the president loves America. He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t
brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love
of this country.”
So said ex-New York mayor and former Republican presidential wannabe Rudi Giuliani, in what he probably intended to be the highlight of his remarks at an event promoting Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, a potential Republican presidential contender for 2016, on February 18.
There was a time, not all that long ago, when Mr. Giuliani was respected--and deserving of respect--for his public service. A friend of mine worked closely with Giuliani and his team in the recovery and emergency work in the wake of the tragic attack on Manhattan on September 11, 2001. My friend--whom I know to be a reasonably liberal Democrat--had high praise for Mr. Giuliani's leadership during many dreadful and challenging days. Giuliani has my respect for what he accomplished at that time.

Presidential election quotes: Here we go again!
(The following is written and submitted for publication on LeftWingCapitalist by Guy Heston.)
Whether we like it or not, and many of us don’t, the presidential election season is already upon us. Roughly 21 months before the election, the good people of Iowa, home of the ridiculously early presidential caucuses, are being heavily courted. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan during his debate with President Jimmy Carter in 1980, here we go again.

But let’s look on the bright side.
