Failure to Admit Blagojevich Appointee to Senate Big Mistake
Failure to Admit Illinois Governor Blagojevich's Appointee, the eminently qualified and well reputed Roland Burris, to the United States Senate will prove to be a supremely Big Mistake made by the Democratic Senate Leadership and yes, Barack Obama. News today is that the U.S. Senate will seat 59 Democratic Senators, including their Candidate ...

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 ...

It's not so much his Mormonism
Look, no matter what God Romney prays to his fatal liability is his chameleon record. He the poster child of the I'll-say-or-do-anything-to-be-the-president pack -and there are a few - this election. Who knows what 'epiphany' he might experience as commander in chief of the world's greatest military? Yeah, he's good-looking and charming and ...

N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?
For better or worse, most people vote with their pocket-book. There is a group of people in the USA who are smart, who save their money, and actually want to pay more taxes!

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''. ...

The Absurdity of Corporate Rights
The notion that a corporation has or should have rights -- either natural rights or constitutional rights -- the same as a natural person, is patently absurd, even when the corporation is regarded as an artificial person for purposes of legal convenience. Corporations exist only as government franchises. They have no independent existence apart ...
