Expect More from Your Government
Did you know that the United States government has now a new web site, which deals with the issue that every American wants to have addressed? Americans have clearly spoken and the American people have made it known that they expect more from their government. And so the government has responded with ExpectMore.Read more…Truth In A Time Of Lies
Mark Twain once remarked how he saw one man berate a lynch mob, how one man with moral courage overcame the entire angry mob. He continued the mob had no sand in them against someone with moral courage. If physically brave men were all that was required they could be had by the cargo, but morally brave men and women were in short supply or perhaps out of stock.Read more…Lenin and His Role In Bringing Communism to Russia
Any mention of communism in Russia has to start with a discussion of Vladimir Lenin. Here is an overview of Lenin, an undeniably important historical figure.Lenin and His Role In Bringing Communism to RussiaVladimir Lenin was born on April 22, 1870, as Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov.Read more…Stalin and His Role In Bringing Communism to Russia
Joseph Stalin was one of the original revolutionaries for communism in Russia. Ironically, Stalin’s idea of the communist state was much more about privilege and dictatorship than equality for the people.Stalin and His Role In Bringing Communism to RussiaJoseph Stalin, born Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, was the second communist leader of the Soviet Union.Read more…Today, America Died

Old Presidents don't get any smarter. But they do have something to contribute, even after office!President Jimmy Carter had no good points as President.Read more…The Real Bad Thing
Perhaps you remember a time when Coca-Cola was considered the “Real Thing”…when a hot dog was termed a treat…and when illegal drugs were classified as dangerous narcotics that would eat away your brain and sap your emotional and even physical strength, often leaving a person destitute and, at times, dead. Drugs were considered a bad thing—a really bad thing.But then the anti-drug campaigns of the ‘80s gave way to the drug-induced haze of the Clinton years and drug use among teens was no longer shocking.Read more…The US and Its Selective Tolerance
Tolerance is a strange term, for one may use to for anyone, everyone and no one, for everyone is tolerant to some extent and intolerant beyond that. So far as people are concerned it is quite excusable but when it comes to nations the approach of selective tolerance is sad, to say the least. More so when the nation happens to the most powerful nation in the world -- the US.Read more…Decision Time
Listen to the voice within. When you have a decision to make, a choice to ponder, listen to that voice within you. The still, small voice that will help guide you.Read more…The Non-Political Make the Best Politicians
Like all career options, a career in politics, too, has its own particular requirements. Cunningness, meanness, trickery and treachery are some of the unholy elements that the holiness of a political god is generally supposed to be composed of. Most of our youngsters find themselves quite incapable of inculcating these, for, obviously, it would take a lifetime of unlearning whatever little they absentmindedly picked up in their moral science classes.Read more…Political Parties
Today, the United States has two major political parties. One is the Democratic Party, which evolved out of Thomas Jefferson’s party, formed before 1800. The other is the Republican Party, which was formed in the 1850s, mostly by people in the states of the North and West who wanted the government to prevent the expansion of slavery into new states.Read more…The Political System of the USA
The president is the head of the state and of the government. The president is selected for a 4-year term. Under a constitutional amendment passed in 1951, a president can be elected to only two terms.Read more…Public Broadcasting: "Good" or "Evil?"
Tonight I had the opportunity to attend a function where the guests were Paula Kerger and John King. Some if not most of you may not know these two individuals but they are two extremely important people. In some cases, more important than those in government or corporate America.Read more…How Ethical are Sanctions?
In the last ten years, it seems that the result of the use of sanctions, (authoritative permission or approval) to induce policy is an alarming amount of humanitarian suffering. The question now arises, is that respectable? If focusing on the weakest portion of the population, and using them to achieve leverage, is what sanctions result in, this is only exploitation, an injustice to human dignity.Read more…Department of Homeland Security Gets It Right with Highway Watch Program Funding
The Department of Homeland Security has made a very wise tactical move and that is to re-enlist the hundreds of thousands of Truck Drivers in our Nation to keep a look out. If you will recall the Truck Drivers and Highway Watch Program is credited with catching the DC Shooters at a rest stop after a string of high-profile random murders.The increase in funding is showing that the Department of Homeland Security can protect this nation both with large projects such as the Virtual Border Fence by Boeing, as well as smaller very efficient projects like the Highway Trucker Watch Programs.Read more…We Already Lost Our War
Yes, I mean this war! Iraq War; as we call it is in fact lost! You ever hear the term, "Won the battle, but lost the war?Read more…Torturing the Truth
Winston Churchill once observed that “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” As part of the left-wing arsenal of distorted arguments as to why Bush is so wrong in his proclaimed “War on Terrorism,” another lie has presented itself, wrapped around the President’s stance on the Geneva Convention and its vague prescriptions for the interrogation and treatment of prisoners of war.The central argument by those opposed to any alteration or clarification of the last of four succeeding agreements, with a history beginning in 1864, is that any change deemed detrimental in a revised version of the Geneva Convention might ultimately be used against our troops.Read more…Thoughts on Terrorists as Enemy Combatants and Criminals
Since 9/11 the United States and the international community has struggled to adopt any uniform policies toward those who commit acts of terrorism. Sometimes terrorists are caught and tried in a court of law. Other times they are captured and indeterminately detained by military forces.Read more…Why Republicans Lead For A While Then Democrats And Nothing Gets Done Either Way
We often see in business when a company has to lay off thousands of people they bring in someone from outside the company to do it. Then all the employees can be mad at him. Once all the layoffs are completed then the company will terminate him and the employees say; See you SOB you are out of here, we run this company and we got you fired.Read more…Great Britain Welcomes asylums
Every year hundreds of thousands of people come to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland seeking a refuge or asylum having sincere hopes that in the new country they will find a better and more prosperous life with a more reliable social system, more stable economy, and nice and friendly immigration system with benefits to newcomers as Britain has been welcoming new immigrants and asylums for years. Great Britain is among well-developed countries that host immigrant from all over the world, but the immigration policy has been changing over the years and it seems that it got stricter as it turned out that many people just use the benefits the government provides and ignore the law and requirements.In 2000, the UK received the largest number of asylum applications of any EU country, with 97,860 asylum applications; in 1999 UK recognised asylum to 72% of the applications, with 102,870 cases which still pending.Read more…
