Saddam on Trial

The on-again, off-again trial of Saddam Hussein for the mass murder of Iraqi civilians is far more important than the courtroom theater engineered by the deposed tyrant might immediately suggest. For one thing, the trial is a reminder that the case for toppling Saddam was not simply about his... Sign in to see full entry.

Time for America to enter the 21st

Back in the sixties, when the soviets sent up sputnik, Kennedy called this country to attention, making a promising that we would go to the moon. He inspired a nation to take up the cause and motivated a generation to make this country the leader in innovation and a leader in the space race. We now... Sign in to see full entry.

Voting for the war

These days it is pretty much a given we are in Iraq for the long haul. But with Rep Murtha's bill to bring back the troops in six months, if it comes to a vote, will present a interesting challenge for members of the house. There is no chance that it will pass, but those who vote against this bill... Sign in to see full entry.

When is it time to get out of Iraq

When the Democratic representative from PA introduced the bill to have the troops out of Iraq in 6 months, I could appreciate what he was trying to do. I can understand his strong desire to get the troops out of a war that should never have happened. But it did happen, and we are there, and we need... Sign in to see full entry.

What do you think?

Here are some questions to think about. 1) What issue matter most to you? 2) Which member of Congress do you think is doing the best job? 3) Which memeber is doing the worse job? 4) Is this nation on the right or wrong track? 5) When you thnk about 2006 what are you most looking for in a canidate?...

Patriot Act renewed

So how many comments am I going to get saying it is a very bad thing that the Patriot Act was renewed? The whole National Security vs. Civil Liberties question is a tough one. No easy answers. Ok, there are some who would say it is an easy answer. Some would say it is easy to say we do whatever we... Sign in to see full entry.

Bi-partisan "attack" on Bush

Is anyone happy with this bill that they passed? It is true that the amendment does say....please give us more information, we are kind of thinking you don't have much of a plan. But it is also true that the wording of the amendment also says...but if you don't, that's ok too. But I am glad it got... Sign in to see full entry.

Republican's uneducation policy

In the name of full disclosure, this next column is very partisan. True, acurate, but still...partisan. So now they want to cut funding for college tuition aid programs? None of this makes any sense. We as a country are falling farther and farther behind other countries, countries like India and... Sign in to see full entry.

Iraq in the Lion's Den

The idea of our soldiers putting containees in a cage with lions is criminal. But it sounds to me like the crime is the people making the accusation. In their ACLU legal papers suing the military, the accusation of being threatened with being put in a cage with lions is not there. There are some who... Sign in to see full entry.

More Health Care, Not worse Health Care

In response to Corbin Dallas' comment that my idea would make Health Care worse, like Canada, I would like to say I don't think so. Since under my plan more people would be getting coverage from the insurance companies already existing, there would be no adverse effect on what the dr/hospital/etc... Sign in to see full entry.
