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 ...

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 ...

Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..
... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

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 ...

Obama's Reparations
Lately, I have been having conversations about a topic of profound significance to me. Essentially, I believe that if (probably when) Obama becomes president, as the masterful communicator that he is, he will be able to bring the issue of reparations for slavery into the national consciousness. For too long the issue of reparations has been ...

The Federal Republic vs. The People's Republic
A funky celestial cataclysm strikes the vulgar, abundant provincial interior of a totalitarian state. Immolation, Abrogation, Decimation make their rounds against fabrications of the prostrate population. Oh, what cruelties of fate. The overindulged American aristocracy took the lead - They don't have a creed. - they subjugate those who need ...

Re: So let me get this straight...
First of all, my apologies that this is a bit lengthly but I've tired of letting others 'create' and perpetuate this ever damaging discourse. And by the way, I am a retired Captain and can fully appreciate the abuse of power, especially during that shameful period of our country's history. The article: Although it definitely fills time and ...

Should 'Racial' speech be Taboo in America?
If Mr. Wright believes such things, particularly that AIDS is a White plot to destroy the Black community, why should people get so upset with that. People should ask him to give evidence to his claim, rather then berate Mr. Wright. I would argue that the restrictions on speech relating to ‘race’ in America are actually making people more ...

Democrats in Congress Failed Us All 8 Years
The Democrats and Democratic Party failed to stand up for what is right for the entire eight years of the Bush / Cheney White House misrule. 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 ...
