 SIX PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL REALISM
Ethics in the abstract judges action by its conformity with the moral law; political ethics judges action by its political consequences.
Both individual and state must judge political action by universal moral principles, such as that of liberty.
Realism, then, considers prudence-the weighing of the consequences of alternative political actions-to be the supreme virtue in politics.

 Sun.Star Iloilo - Ong: Excessive politics in power sector
THE Responsible Ilonggos for Sustainable Energy (Rise), the lead group opposing the entry of coal-fired power plants in Panay, submitted its request before the House of Representatives and Senate for an investigation on the two new applications for coal-fired power plants in the Province of Iloilo.
For instance, the participants in the Power Summit sponsored by the Provincial Government in November last year have to swallow the arrogance of Senate President Franklin Drilon when he said "that nobody have brought development in Iloilo as much as he did."
As long as we have Drilon in the halls of Senate, we cannot expect our collective voice to be heard and for our interest to be pushed.

Europeans have a deep interest in devaluing and eventually eradicating the brutal laws of an anarchic, Hobbesian world where power is the ultimate determinant of national security and success.
America's eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century statesmen sounded much like the European statesmen of today, extolling the virtues of commerce as the soothing balm of international strife and appealing to international law and international opinion over brute force.
Nevertheless, the caricatures do capture an essential truth: The United States and Europe are fundamentally different today.

 Power Politics: A More Sober View Archives
The Declaration was a political document aimed at formally pronouncing American independence, and persuading the French to support the act of revolution.
The ideological presumptions intrinsic in the Declaration of Independence are declarations of what ought to be, not necessarily what is. However, simply because a state is prohibited from an act, of right, does not necessarily make that act rare or reviled (by other nations).
Whenever American policy was unfavorable to a nation (well exemplified by the growing resentment of American power across the world), the populace of that nation was generally hostile to the United States.
