...we are in a real war

Meanwhile, we all vote. One candidate urges us to return to the mindset of pre-September 11 — law enforcement dealing with terrorists as nuisances. He claims the policies that have led to an absence of another attack at home, the end of the Taliban and Saddam Hussein, idealistic efforts to extend... Sign in to see full entry.

Everybody Be Sure to Vote!

About 18 months ago, I presented a plan for the Democratic Party -- Do not attack the president...simply run against him as an alternative. First, there are increasingly more democrats today than republicans. Second, the American people do not want to have their leader trashed in a time of war. This... Sign in to see full entry.

Here's Some Real Hope

Victor Davis Hansen's opinion piece in the San Farncisco Chronicle yesterday gave me the first hope I have known in a long time. It is possible that this 50 - 50 political divide that threatens the stability of the middle class, is more than just inspired by the elitist media. It is possible that... Sign in to see full entry.

Battleground States Rolling to Bush

In this 2004 election the polls are wild, yet one thing remains abundantly clear. There are a few, some say as many as eleven remaining, battleground states which definitely will decide the election. On the basis of that idea, lawyers for both sides are gearing up for lawsuits: sending lawyers to... Sign in to see full entry.

The United Colonies of North America

James Madison wrote the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, but Thomas Jefferson wrote the constitution itself. John Adams, who was a U.S. president, called George Washington a "muttonhead" (351). Ben Franklin said that John Adams was "absolutely out of his senses" (353 ). Franklin, himself,... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a Family Thing!

Had the opportunity to read the rest of Ann and Benjamin's poetry tonight. I commented to Ann that, in my friggin' opinion at least, the essence of love is not there (or here). But that love comes from elsewhere. She responded that "to love is to serve". My comment was too spiritual. It originated... Sign in to see full entry.

My Favorite Author

My favorite author right now is Nelson DeMille. He has written "Up Country", "Plum Island", "The Lion's Game", "The General's Daughter", and many others. I can't wait until November when his new book comes out. I'm going to B&N to buy it instantly. In Up Country, this VietNam veteran (2 tours) has... Sign in to see full entry.

How HIV / AIDS Made the News This Week

I commented earlier about HIV / Aids in response to a posting. Someone asked where was this story in the news? I still haven't found it, but in further reading the papers I have found an editorial by Californian, Victor David Hanson, where it is mentioned at the very end: Her it is! Meanwhile most...

Excuse Me, Did You Say Dork?

Last year when my 16 year-old started dating (what we called dating when I was young) her first beau was a big, tough-looking kid. He seemed harmless, and she liked him because he was popular at her store where she works. Well, one night I happened to be in the neighborhood when they were supposed... Sign in to see full entry.

I commented to Runs at Dawn

that I hate arguing religion, but that I cannot stay away from politics. To me, a political debate helps me to arrange my own self-perception. The reason is easy: to be believed in a political debate, one should attempt honesty, or failing that, clear logic. On the basis of the two pillars just... Sign in to see full entry.
