The Daily Dose of Reason

RomenyObamaIncreasingly, it seems likely that Mitt Romney will attain the Republican presidential nomination for 2012. He's a deeply flawed candidate. He has flip-flopped on issues more than any other candidate in modern times, and that's saying something. In the span of less than a decade, he has favored socialized medicine, a free market for medicine, Big Government, unhampered capitalism, abortion rights, gay marriage, anti gay-marriage amendments and anti-abortion laws. He favors high taxes, low taxes and the status quo, all at the same time. Reviewing his record makes one intellectually dizzy. But if Romney is deeply flawed, his opponents are profoundly flawed. Gingrich and Perry are opposing Romney based on arguments from the socialist left. Santorum is a religious fanatic who reportedly opposes the "pursuit of happiness." And Ron Paul, while refreshing as a fiscal hawk, is an even more extreme pacifist than Obama, who actually says the crazy fundamentalist mullahs in Iran should have a nuclear bomb.

Obama Has Made the U.S. a "Well-Bred Doormat"

John_R__BoltonFormer U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, referring to Barack Obama and his foreign/defense policy: "He's not only the most radical President in history domestically; he is the first President, Republican or Democrat, at least since Franklin Roosevelt, who didn't get up every morning thinking first about what threats the United States faces. He just doesn't care about national security the way other presidents did, " Bolton told an audience at a veterans rally in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

The American people, Bolton continued, are looking for a president "who doesn't believe that the role of America in the world is to be a well-bred doormat."

Bolton also stripped the President of any credit for the killing of Usama Bin Laden.

"It's because Navy Seal Team 6 killed Usama bin laden. That's his definition of success. As somebody pointed out, in 1969 when Americans landed on the moon, it's like Richard Nixon taking for credit for that, because it happened to occur during his presidency," Bolton said.

Bravo John Bolton!

 drphl2Conclusion of Wednesday's column.

Dr .Phil.: “If you want confidence, you have to take on a confident posture. This can be as simple as putting more confidence in your walk and in your demeanor.”

Dr.Hurd.: Confidence comes from something much deeper than changing your walking style. You can’t fake confidence. Confidence comes from a sense that your mind is effective and capable; and that you deserve to experience good things by using your mind effectively and capably, and from living a rational, self-responsible existence. If you haven’t been feeling, thinking and acting this way, then walking straight and proud isn’t going to do it.

D.P.: “You teach people how to treat you.” 

D.H.: Very good point! I wouldn’t say that any of us are ever responsible for another’s behavior. But if we treat someone a certain way, we have to take responsibility for the fact that we’re creating a certain kind of psychological climate where it might make “emotional sense” for a person to
