  • Longevity does not necessarily bring wisdom

    Biden was wrong on the surge. Biden was the one whose wisdom was to recommend that Iraq be partitioned into four zones - an approach that would have guaranteed a Shia region completely dependent on Iran. Biden has been around many years and can tell decent stories but Biden is such an ideologue he is incapable of actually looking at the data. The ...

  • Debate

    I'm a former intercollegiate debate coach, and everytime I watch one of these things, it makes me a little nuts. Last night, however, I think we saw something close to an actual debate. I was surprised at how well Governor Palin performed, but it was more than a little obvious that she had been studying and memorizing appropriate answers for at ...

  • Re: Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias

    Media bias is a perceived notion that certain press has and is pushing a viewpoint, instead of reporting news or airing programs in an objective way. That is the way I see it. Such bias often refers to media as a whole, such as a newspaper chain, or a given television or radio network, instead of individual reporters or writers of television ...

  • Liberal Media Lies

    Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away. Political logic augurs a democratic triumph? Augur: To predict, especially from signs or omens; foretell. What signs or omens are they looking ...

  • The loss of Zimbabwe and South Africa to the Reds . . .

    . . . compares favorably with the loss of Afghanistan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China to the Socialist/Communist ideologues elsewhere. Of course, the Anglo-American world Realpolitik has suffered it's share of losses to Right Wing Ideologue regimes, as well. Look no further than France, Italy, and Iran among others. We could even mention America in ...

  • The problem with an Obama nomination

    Barack Obama will make a excellent President, but not yet. He is only two, or so years out of the Illinois State legislature. He just does not have the experience to be in charge of the mighty nuclear arsenal of The United States. He proved that by his decision to vote against the war in Iraq. Yes, that sounds crazy, but realize that the ...

  • Re: What's best

    I'm sure Senator Clinton had good intentions when she voted for the war in Iraq and extending President Bush's war authority to conduct an pre-emptive strike. There are many kinds of intelligences. Hillary's is hindsight which is 20-20 vision. Barack's is foresight, vision, futuristic.. and it's right on target. I've been a republican for 25 ...

  • Weasel-Wording "Withdrawal"

    Petraeus and Crocker notwithstanding, measures to reduce casualties in Iraq have been in public discussion for months (Biden, Iraq Study Group.) “Soft partition” (SP) would mean that U.S. troops, while withdrawing from Iraq's cities, would escort only willing Iraqis to resettle to zones of others of the same sect. What is now happening is ...

  • Is "Neo-Con" limited ONLY to "Republicans"?

    In as much as this author firmly believes that to elect a DEMOCRAT is STILL a superior choice to the ''Alternative'', the dem's leadership would seem to be letting the golden opportunities that the American Voter has afforded them to INFLUENCE ''Corrective Changes'' and began the long and difficult effort to RESTORE American Rights and Civil ...
