A new day for American and Americans...
Simply stated, we can now all say that the words, ''We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men, (and women,) are created equal'' actually really means something. Now, anything is possible! I have never been prouder of my country, and the great people who live within it. We finally got it right.

Why is the left vested in racism?
Instead of seeking truth, the question an indoctrinated leftist asks, ''Am I offended?'' Economic variability across ''race'' is the major offence. Being offended makes the leftist a ''victim.'' Once the leftist has declared himself, herself or someone else a victim, then through Marxist reasoning, a victim can disregard rational thought and ...

Sorry, but I don't agree
Donna: We don't talk about the morality of universal health care, quality education for all, or a living wage. More importantly, we don't even talk about how they benefit all Americans, not just the working poor. As a friend says, ''You have to meet people where they are and bring them along.'' We refuse to do that. Obama hasn't done it and he ...

Hitch On Helms like White on Rice
Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

Re: Georgia Newspaper Puts Obama In Crosshairs
Correction: The article by Alan Sverdlik is still on the Roswell Beacon's website, at http://www.beaconcast.com/articles/20080521_1. However, the controversial photo <u>has<u/> been pulled, and replaced with a stock file photo of Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park. Much better taste, even if it had to be shoved down their throat...

Too Bad
''And what makes me heartsick is that's the kind of thing you say so you don't have to say the real reason is you won't vote for a black guy.'' Exactly.

Voting Obama: Is America ready for Moral Authenticity?
As a 50-year old female, never in my lifetime have I been as touched by a presidential candidate as by Barack Obama, and my sentiment is felt by red, black, brown, white people all over the country ─ people who are ready for a “New America” … an America resurrected by someone who by all accounts, feels like “the chosen one” for scores of ...

Cynicism
Cynicism is very useful when it comes to political structures. Usually it is born out of disillousonement of former held idealist but unrealistic goals or wrong perceptions about the social reality and can be helpful in getting the facts straight. However, the political system of the USA or other liberal democracies is not perfect enough to be ...

Ilk or Actuality?
I have to question the premise of Hitchens' argument. It seems he prefers to remain among those who feel they haven't heard enough renunciation and distancing in Obama's ''handling'' of his ''pastor situation.'' The senator actually demonstrated integrity treating the Rev. Wright and his comments with more seriousness than a mere political ...

Conveniency for conveniency sakes
It is so sad that the media influences the outcome of how public opinions and votes go. The media with their twisted view of the people's will should BUTT out of the news business or should I call it in the INFLUENCE business. Maybe that is politics as media at its best but sadly enough it is very discomforting that the POWER of the MEDIA ...
