The situation on illegal immigration is heating up – to some degree that dishonor our country and system. I am referring to the case where two Caucasian youths beat a 16 year old Mexican boy almost to death for supposedly kissing a 12 year old white girl. Link Hate crimes such as these do nothing [...]

April 26th, 2006 · No Comments

A sign of the times…
April 22nd, 2006 · No Comments
When I first entered the political arena and noted the sad shape of our country, a democracy virtually in decline – and the significance of a war entered into under subterfuge by our own President, my first thoughts were to work toward raising the alarm in our colleges and universities. I remember the sixties, Kent [...]

A Government in Collapse
April 20th, 2006 · No Comments
Reading the news for the past few days has been quite an experience. I have noted that retired Generals, in high positions who retired with honor – did so and brought a premature close to their exemplary military records to lawfully contest Donald Rumsfeld and indirectly, President Bush himself.

No Child Left Behind – Posted on RAW
April 19th, 2006 · 1 Comment
This is an article I wrote almost a year ago – however the evidence is piling up that “No Child Left Behind” is turning into a monumental flop – and rather than aiding in the universal education of our students and bring up grades, the program is affecting education in a very adverse manner. Updated [...]

The below article appeared on CNN yesterday and I read it with interest – only realizing at the end of the piece that this story has far reaching implications, and I would guess China and Russia are keeping a close eye on this program!

Is the Military rebelling against Bush, Cheney, & Rumsfeld?
April 13th, 2006 · No Comments
For those that follow the news on an everyday basis, it is interesting to note the retired military personnel that are speaking-out against Donald Rumsfeld and those closely associated with him. However, as I watch this unfold, I am struck with how young some of our battle seasoned Generals are retiring – those that have [...]

I came across this article on RAW Story, and then went in and read the comments – one in particular that bears reprinting here, because it does raise a serious question of law.

Iran – a prelude to War
April 6th, 2006 · 1 Comment
Unfortunately, the Iranian situation is playing-out much as I had predicted last year, and recent developments indicate a situation that is quickly spiraling out of control. Unlike last year, now Bush’s objectives are being unveiled and suspicion is rife that in order to improve his approval ratings, and keep the Presidency, war with Iran is [...]
