Dave and Don

ACU members are used to reading op-eds by Dave Keene and Don Devine, ACU’s chairman and vice chairman, but what you may not have known is that these two conservative leaders have written some scholarly papers together.

For instance, as far back as October 2000, in “A Post Cold War Conservative Foreign Policy,” they identified Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism as among the “real threats to American interests,” and proposed a foreign policy “based upon interests rather than ideology.”

Three months later, in an essay on how to stimulate the then-current economy, they suggested indexing capital gains to inflation—the same proposal now being offered by Congressmen Pence and Cantor in HR 6057.
