An Enduring
Peace
A Q&A with
John McCain
Over
the course
of a career
in public
service that
took him
from the
U.S. Navy to
the United
States
Senate, John
McCain has
made a name
for himself
as a leader
of men and
as a
maverick –
someone who
is willing
to take an
unpopular
position
because he

Rebel
with a Cause
By
Reed Galen
The picture
is a classic
cool. A cup
of coffee in
front of
him,
cigarettes
and an
ashtray to
his left,
the young
man stares
past the
camera, a
look of
burning
intensity in
his eyes.
His hair is
slightly
tousled. He
looks like
he could be
James
Dean. But
it’s not --
it’s John
McCain............MORE

Why
Ideas Matter
By
Gov. Haley
R. Barbour
“Ideas
matter,”
said
Margaret
Thatcher on
her march to
become
Britain’s
Prime
Minister in
the late
1970’s. For
some of us,
that was not
very long
ago. We can
recall the
steely
confidence
she
maintained
in the face
of long odds
and the
advice to
avoid
alienating
voters.....MORE

Limiting
Spending
We can - and
must - do it
By
John Kasich
Growing up in
Pennsylvania, in
a blue-collar
family in a
blue-collar
town, I learned
some valuable
lessons as a
kid; lessons
like being
accountable for
your actions,
having respect
and compassion
for others, and
understanding
the value of
hard work and
character............MORE |
Fanning the
Flames
Of Change
By Mark
Sanford
The writer
Thomas
Friedman
makes the
argument
that the
most
important
competition
today is
between “you
and your
imagination.”
As much as
football
fans may
have been
led to
believe it
was between
the Patriots
and the
Giants at
the Super
Bowl – or as
much as
people might
believe in
economic
terms.............MORE

What Trade
Means
to my State
By Tim
Pawlenty
Twenty-five
years ago
this
October,
something
remarkable
happened in
Minnesota:
two
governors,
each from
his nation’s
heartland,
put their
names to a
document
formalizing
their
friendship.
One line
bore the
signature of
Minnesota
Governor Al
Quie; the

Health Care
Reality Check
By Michael
Tanner
Health care
reform is once
again at the top
of the nation’s
political
agenda. But in
developing
health policy,
it is vital to
keep in mind one
pertinent fact:

highest quality
health care in
the world.

It's More
Than Just
Words
By
Landon
Parvin
One of my
best friends
is a retired
clergyman.
When he was
in seminary,
a professor
told him
that he
could wander
around
theologically
wherever he
pleased, as
long as he
chained
himself to
the rock on
which was
written the
word
“Resurrection.”
Some words
are like
that,
abiding and
meaningful,
words like.......MORE

Reagan
In Youngstown
By
William C.
Binning
It’s been said
that politics
these days is
fought along the
margins, with
each party
trying to
motivate its
political base
while the
political center
is virtually
ignored. If
that is true,
then perhaps it
is a good time
to recall a
candidate who
reached out
toward the
center and, in
doing so, was
able to win
support that
crossed.....MORE
