Size of Government - Integrity Issues

If you fail to understand this fact or study your history then we are all doomed. The voting public needs to make the right choices and consider the future, not only what is best for that individual. If we all keep voting for more free stuff then eventually the snow on the roof will be so large that that roof will collapse. Our current government system cannot sustain this level of bureaucracy or cost. Just like any good corporation sometimes you have to downsize to stay in business. The government needs to look at this scenario quite closely before it implodes.

Remarks By Elbaradei Encourage Iran To Pursue Nuclear Ambitions

Mr. ElBaradei, in a surprising remark, has invited the international community to accept the fact that Iran has now achieved nuclear know-how and can produce enriched uranium at industrial levels. Such remarks, from someone at ElBaradei's position, are nonconstructive and can not help in any way but to embolden the Iranian regime to continue its defiance.

Hugo Chavez - I Am The State

Hugo Chavez is making it clear that his vision, and only his vision, will dominate in Venezuelan media. If any proof is required of his intention, one need only look at the crackdowns and threats that have been directed at private media outlets.

A Chemical Accident or a Terrorist Attack?

A chemical accident at a paper mill shows how easy it would be for a terrorist to use reactive chemistry to kill innocent people.

Impeachment For The Hell Of It

We live in an age of cynicism, so cynical we admit defeat without really trying, I want to be an optimist, I do but the case against it is so strong. We forget that victory is immersed in defeat, the sapping of your enemy’s strength the blunting of his plans by nothing more than your damn insistence and refusal to admit defeat.

Is Benjamin Franklin The Inventor Or Source Of The Internet?

Upon reflection, I've decided that Al Gore did not invent the Internet. Since it is an evolved system there are lots of contemporaries who can take some credit. But where were the seeds of this sprawling public place where people and information and thoughts mill around in a semi-organized fashion?

Vote 2008 - Iraqi War How Do We Create Change In This Situation?

This article will cover the up coming vote and the time we all sat around and watched our government argue about how they were going to bring home our troops.

Charades in Congress - It's Not About Immigration Folks

Does Congress want to solve our illegal immigration problem? Do they even admit to what the problem really is? Hardly? Like the war in Iraq we just have to follow the money. Congress is playing charades with our future and we let them get away with it while the media promotes it. A sad commentary on our current state of affairs.

What is Happening to America

Unfortunately, the threat of outside forces hurting this country is not near as great as the threat that we are to ourselves. Also, I believe that our leaders are enabling us in our own destruction. First, we have let political correctness go to far we are not fighting those who promote class warfare and we are more concerned about people who come here illegally than we are about the citizens and legal residents of this country. I am ashamed of my government and its leaders right now in so many ways that as of now I will not vote for anyone who currently holds a seat in Congress that represents me.

Decouple the West Bank and Gaza Strip?

The latest round of violence between Hamas and Fatah signal the need for diplomats to consider decoupling the West Bank and Gaza Strip. With Hamas battling Fatah for control of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian territories could well be on the way toward splitting into a largely secular West Bank and Islamist Gaza Strip. Even if a temporary truce is reached between the two warring parties, and the shelf-life of such truces has proved short, the fundamental ideological differences that divide the two Palestinian territories will persist. Such differing worldviews will have a potentially major impact on the larger Israeli-Palestinian dispute.

Nightmare In New York City

A Country of Bits and Pieces

As card carrying adults, we do not need to have our news censored, cut and pasted because we can't handle hearing the truth. Without the truth we as a nation will be lost forever, except for a select few.
