Soldier/Soldier: The Convoluted Vietnamese Agenda(?)

America, you have no idea what atrocities took place during the Vietnam War. One item on the list was the mass assassinations of innocent Vietnamese citizens by Americans. John Kerry knows. The orders came down from politicians – self-proclaimed gods – who pulled the strings and watched it all unfold from their cozy recliners at […]

French Parliament Delivers on Sarkozy’s Promise

It’s never easy following through on an electoral pledge, and if any politician knows how difficult it is, then it must be the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy.
So far he has failed miserably on last year’s major presidential campaign promise to increase the purchasing power of the average man and woman on the street here in […]

Only Two Candidates For President…Says Who? Why Americans Should Support Independent or Third Party Candidates

Illegal Immigration… lack of health care for millions of Americans… an enormous trade deficit… a bottomless government debt… outsourcing of American jobs… elected representatives who don’t listen to the people who put them in office and pay their salaries.
These issues represent just a few of the serious problems we face today. What can we do […]

President John F. Kennedy: Breaking Through the Shroud of an Untimely Demise

I quote, with redundancy, from the biography of John F. Kennedy to summarize the legacy of this American martyr. Unfortunately, many citizens of the United States know little about that legacy. Here was a man who chose to fight political corruption in a manner never attempted by any president other than Abraham Lincoln. Kennedy genuinely […]

A Letter to the Legacy of a Legend: President John F. Kennedy

Mr. President,
I love people with everything I am worth. As strange as this might sound, I also fear them with a passion. As you know from your short tenure here, it is often people who prove to be the downfall of noble others.
Although I was born eleven years after your assassination, my study and research […]

Show Your True Colors - Wearing Your Politics on Your Sleeve

The 2008 elections are finally getting down to the wire, and delegates from all 50 states - or 57, if you’re voting for Obama! - are all ready to head to their respective conventions.
Politics is something we hold dear in America. Whether we’re hoping for a red state or a blue state, or cherishing fondness […]

The Mythical Belief - Government Ought to Do Something

People act as if the government possesses magical powers that can solve all of our individual and social ills. All this mythical entity has to do is wave its wand and all our problems vanish in a blink of an eye. I know—most people would state that this belief is ridiculous. However, is that what […]

Graduate From Buttons to Cufflinks

Looking for a gift for the grad in your life? Considering the advantages of the Mr. Coffee with built-in alarm clock versus the nondescript yet utterly ordinary prepaid credit card which you hope will be used for “something special,” but in reality will likely be used for gas and beer?
Why not get something that will […]

Super Tuesday

I saw a news clip recently where the reporter stopped people on the street and asked them how they were preparing for “Super Tuesday.” The people, mostly young, didn’t have a clue. I understand that Obama is attracting younger voters. Apparently it was none of the those interviewed.
The primaries dragged on for so long that […]

The Truth About Government "Solutions"

It is obvious that America has become a nation of individuals who want immediate satisfaction and short-term “solutions.” A perfect example is our current financial crisis-a crisis caused by the easy money policy of The Federal Reserve System. And what is amazing is that the vast majority of the people have supported this shortsighted inflationary […]
