Hypocrite Extraordinaire
In Texas Bush executed with pleasure a born- again Christian (like himself) named Karla Fay Tucker. Her problem was she confessed totally to her heinous crime instead of lying forever, like most of them. Her crime was committed while she was on coke/booze- something Bush did a lot of once, but still refuses to admit. Even the Pope and the ...

Not quite correct

From my reading of the ruling the 8th circuit vacated a preliminary injunction against the law, but that Planned Parenthood's case against the law will continue in the lower court. This means that while the law will go into effect, ...

Swinging with Passion Makes for Bad Case Law
Justice Anthony Kennedy is a passionate man. He was a passionate judge and now je is a passionate Justice. But while one may want zealousness in one’s representation in the legal arena, passion in deciding law is dangerous, if not outright foolishness. Passions are swayed. Passions are fired up.

For those opposing gay marriage...
Some important points for those of you who oppose gay marriage: 1) This is not about religion.

They gave away our American two-party system; they gave away majority rule; they gave away our civil rights and bill of rights and civil liberties; they gave away the constitutional authority of the ...

Why I'm an American in Exile...
On June 13th, 2007, I received a death threat from someone claiming to be a member of the US Intelligence community. What was my ''crime''? I blew the whistle on the election fraud of 2004. Why did the CIA feel threatened by this? Because I revealed how they smuggled cocaine into the US using a front company called ''Skyway Communications''. ...
