  • Recent US led Afghan Airstrike Violate International Law

    International Law is explicit about civilian protection, including but not limited to Article 51, 52 and 57 of Protocol 1 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Violation of these articles are demonstrable by the recent U.S. raid on an Afghan Village as reported in early May of 2009. Article 51: Protection of the civilian population Paragraph ...

  • 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 ...

  • Re: Obama and the Preachers

    I think the problem is that there is a preacher at the inauguration at all.The US has a secular government because no one faith can represent all citizens. What about the 1,104,000 Muslims; 766,000 Hinus; 2,831,000 Jews, and even 5,691,000 Mormons in the country? (stats: Wikipedia) Surely the majesty of the office of president is more of a ...

  • Who said, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"

    I agree that during the campaign she was remarkably racist and sexist. Both are incredibly manipulative. She is fantasic at what she does though, and brilliant. I think a lot of the abuse they ground through from the a holes of the GOP all those years made them who they are. They had to adopt an ''if you can't beat em, join em.'' I do love them ...

  • "everybody's President"

    During the Nov. 7 Gabfest Emily said something like this ''He (Obama) is everybody’s president''. Not true. For people like me, who are gay, he is not our president. Not just because he holds the standard ''separate but equal'' notion on marriage that we get from his party. But his election itself is a sign of Gay and Lesbians ...

  • Obama's First Time

    Let's look out for Obama's swagger over the next few years. During the recent press conference the comments about Nancy Reagan and tax rebates were, to me, awkward attempts at presidential gravitas that were only hinted at during the campaign. I think it can easily be attributed to nerves and the tasks at hand. We like you the way you are, or ...

  • please

    if Obama loses, it's a loss for the family??? mm hm. Who doesn't know that the media ad nauseum is so far left it's technically a right? If Obama loses, all it means is that, like every time a republican wins an election, they couldn't sway the public far enough in their direction. I wish, no matter who wins, that America will think for ...

  • Worst Candidate ALWAYS Wins U.S. Elections

    Looking back on United States Presidential Election History, I have concluded that the WORST Candidate ALWAYS Wins the Election for the U.S. Presidency. I could cite all the examples, such as Wendel Wilkie, Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and George H. Walker Bush (Senior) along with George W. Bush (Junior); but you get ...

  • Palin was picked because she's a scrapper

    Sarah Palin was picked primarily because she's a scrapper and a solid conservative. Any questions about McCain's hold on the party base are now gone. The fact that she is a woman helpd to send a message to the millions who, assuming women are equal citizens, supported Hillary Clinton. Those citizens found that in 2008, a well qualified woman ...
