If I wouldn’t have seen it, I never would have believed it, as I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for many years beginning back in the late 60’s. Utah is known to be the bastion of Republican values, and much like Bush, they believe in censorship – as when I lived there, you couldn’t [...]

America Beware! Bush is beating the War Drum harder than ever!
August 30th, 2006 · No Comments
According to new statements by President Bush’s Staff, it appears that he is upping the rhetoric and preparing us for war. I am a liberal, slightly right-leaning, and am one of those that recognize Iran as a real and viable threat to world peace and the security of the United States! That said, it doesn’t [...]

Should we support or condemn our President?
August 28th, 2006 · No Comments
Liberals, Democrat, Greens, and Independents are constantly assailed by the likes of Ann Coulter, O’Riley, and Rush Limbaugh – not to mention the President and his extremely unpopular Vice-President, Dick Cheney. They point out that to criticize this administration is somehow un-American, that we are less than patriotic, and even go as far as to [...]

Why isn’t Marijuana legalized? Could it be too much profit for America’s “Dynasty Families?”
August 26th, 2006 · 1 Comment
One thing we all know is that history repeats itself, and I believe it is so even today as it regards the Congress’ stance in regard the legalization of Marijuana; We can look back through time and note that the Kennedy’s made their fortune in bootlegging, when there was a comparably idiotic prohibition against alcohol [...]

Protester Shot with Rubber Bullets Shows Police Disconnect, Brutality
Elizabeth Ritter was shot four times with rubber bullets by police while she was protesting a Free Trade Summit in Miami, August 10.
This horrifying example truly shows the disconnect between police and the citizens they pose as protecting and [...]

The tide is turning – Americans Stand-up against Bush/Cheney
August 16th, 2006 · No Comments
I’ve been waiting a very long time to title an article like this, but recent developments demonstrate that the Bush/Cheney cabal of Neo-cons is losing support even within their own ranks. America is finally launching a unified assault against those who believe war is a better answer than diplomacy – and the country is finally [...]

Why has the U.N. avoided the real issues between Lebanon and Israel?
August 13th, 2006 · No Comments
First, it appears the U.N. resolution is one without “teeth,†and rather than allowing the U.N. forces to effectively disarm Hizbullah – it is being left up to Hizbulloh and the Lebanese Army to carry out that mandate, and Lebanon will not use force against Hezbollah. (IMO) Further, the Lebanese troops are no match for [...]

Evangelical Christians make a mockery out of Religion!
August 10th, 2006 · 5 Comments
I noted that Pat Robertson was in Israel, expressing his “love” for Israel and support thereof; however, when you look in-depth as to his rationale, and those of similar mindsets, i.e., Rick Warren, Jerry Falwell, Dr. James Dobson, etc., a pattern evolves that indicates their actions in support of Israel are not because they really [...]

The Build-up to War with Iran and Syria
August 6th, 2006 · 3 Comments
I have written this particular piece because I have noticed that CNN and other stations are making note of the Marine Barracks and Embassy bombings in Lebanon back in 1983′. I have also noted they haven’t told the whole story – one that revealed we had the “smoking gun” on Iran and Syria for those [...]

George W. Bush, the Decider and “Vacationer”
August 6th, 2006 · No Comments
Fresh from the beginning of another vacation, President Bush assured the nation this Saturday that “he has fulfilled his pledge to help beef up border security.- Huh? When? Where?
Careful reading of the article from CNN demonstrated how the “Vacationer” keeps his “pledges” which in reality, at best is a glass that is half-empty.
Bush urges opening [...]
