		<description><![CDATA[By David L. Bahnsen and P. Andrew Sandlin

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know how anyone can dispute my oft-repeated assertion that Ron Paul&#8217;s foreign policy is, to put it very, very mildly, lacking in moral clarity.  Powerful video.  I wish it were exposing Ron Paul&#8217;s hypocrisy.  But it is not.  it is, instead, exposing what he REALLY believes.

I confess to having been disappointed in a recent piece from their very capable and gifted writer, Kevin Williamson.  Essentially, Williamson contends that Wall Street is filled with shady characters [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight&#8217;s debate was fascinating and not just because we got the clearest answer yet from Ron Paul on how much he sympathizes with Al Qaida.  Essentially, Rick Perry&#8217;s front-runner status was on full display as single-digit pollers like Rick Santorum and Michelle Bachmann went aggressively after him, as did his primary rival, Mitt Romney.

- The biggest losers of the debate tonight were the panelists.  Chris Wallace should be ashamed of himself, and I have pretty thick skin.  But Newt Gingrich utterly humiliated him, and frankly, [...]]]></description>
