Is It Politically Correct to Ignore the Enemy Within? -
- Missing Link (708)  
Missing Link
Islamic Army psychiatrists who argue with their patients about the war on religious grounds are not fit to serve in the military or provide psychiatric counseling to US soldiers. (just my humble opinion) Islam is a world view as much as a religion. Multiculturalism is a crock. Political... ( added 1 day 16 hours ago.) |

Are Obama's Environmental Policies Succeeding or Failing? -
Jonathan Gal (218)
When everyone is looking for a positive, unwavering direction toward which to point their hopes and dreams, the obvious choice seems to be the new vitality alive and well in our president, Barack Obama.

He That Despises The Poor Despises His Maker: Scapegoating in an Economic Crisis -
Edward Rhymes (1,378) 
Edward Rhymes
Introduction
There is a familiar and ominous theme that is recurring in the conversation about the economic crisis we still find ourselves in: that the implosion of the housing market and subsequent mortgage debacle was the result of subprime loans extended to unqualified buyers (the poor...

Selective Outrage & Inconsistent Indignation -
- Edward Rhymes (1,378)
Edward Rhymes
I must admit I am somewhat confused about the rhetoric that I'm hearing by many who oppose well, just about anything President Obama does. I find that some of the outrage and indignation is rooted in some sort of collective amnesia and cognitive dissonance. I want to point to several areas that I... ( added 51 days 16 hours ago.) |
DWB, Skip Gates & Me -
Edward Rhymes (1,378)
Edward Rhymes
I wrote a piece several years ago (from 2004 to be exact) for a local newspaper when I lived in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Edward Rhymes
A great deal is being said about the current investigation into the allegations that CIA officials tortured detainees in custody during the Bush administration.

Free to Think -
- Dan Bimrose (1,259) 
Dan Bimrose
In a past life, when I was a raging conservative Republican I considered Milton Friedman close to God, and his book Free To Choose an ancillary to the Bible. Something would happen to me that would change my views dramatically. That event? Life. Over time it became clear that the concepts... ( added 76 days 1 hour ago.) |
9/11 Mind Swell -
Joel Hirschhorn (2,786) 
Joel Hirschhorn
As we approach the eighth anniversary of 9/11 consider this paradox. In the post 9-11 years the scientific evidence for disbelieving the official government story has mounted incredibly.

Thank You, Georgia -
- Ryan Stroud (3,713) 
Ryan Stroud
He was not the president of the United States, nor was he a king of another country. He wasn't the wealthiest man in the world either but on June 11, thousands of citizens of Georgia lined the streets as a vehicle carrying his coffin passed by.

Michael Ramzy
Another great day in America as we realize summer is almost over. Of course, here in Texas the temperature is 'only' supposed to be 101, which means Fall must surely be right around the corner. I wait, and my tired air conditioner waits, with anticipation.

Sandra E. Graham
Sarah Palin resigned as Alaska's Governor on Sunday July 26, 2009 with promises of moving to a more visible ". stage " to fight her political battles.

Severe Nausea and Explosive Diarrhea -
Jon Searles (2,104) 
Jon Searles
The descriptive and slightly displeasing phrase that titles this has been stuck in my brain for over 20 years since I sat through lectures on Veterinary Public Health at Texas A & M University on my way to my degree in Food Science and Technology.

Michael Jackson Forever in Neverland -
- Missing Link (708)
Missing Link
The first thing that came to my mind when I heard that Michael Jackson had died was, is this for real or a just a publicity stunt? I thought that perhaps he was finally tired of the spotlight and maybe he'd had more plastic surgery so he could go away forever in hiding where nobody could ever... ( added 130 days 3 hours ago.) |

Gov. Sanford's Tidal Wave of Admissions: Irreconcilable Differences? -
Avis Ward (11,418) 
Avis Ward
Mark Sanford's subsequent behavior and admissions since coming out about his extramarital affair have been bizarre. The media printed word for intimate word, the contents of an email sent to his mistress. Reading those words, one would believe he was smitten. I felt uneasy reading the tenderness...

Joel Kontinen (2,345) 
Joel Kontinen
President Barack Obama is officially known to be a firm believer in man-made global warming. But his deeds do not always seem to match his ideals.

Sandra E. Graham (8,072)
Sandra E. Graham
Recently the New York Post political cartoonist had published a cartoon that may or may not have any racial implications intended at all.
