    The Iraq War. Flesh and Blood.

    May 20th, 2010 · No Comments · International affairs, Politics, wars and militarism

    The war in Iraq was a mistake. Whatever point of view one takes, there is no real benefit to us any longer to have troops in Iraq. They should come home as soon as possible. But that is not the end of it. We need to tell the rest of the world we’re sorry.
    We’re [...]

    Before Neocons Call People “Nazis” They Should Look in the Mirror.

    December 19th, 2009 · No Comments · Culture, Health Care, Media, Politics

    Shame on the Neoconservatives, as they call themselves. They want to be called “Republicans.” But we can’t really call them Republicans, can we? They are not traditional Republicans.

    We must invade Iraq, he [...]

    The Man Who Caused the Recession

    September 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Politics

     It wasn’t someone at Bear, Stearns or at Lehman Bros. They were doing what they do, or at least doing what they have been doing since 2000. It wasn’t Alan Greenspan, although he had his share of responsibility.
    No, and it wasn’t Bush, Cheney or Hank Paulson. Bush and Cheney are responsible for everything, not just [...]

    Dick Cheney and Failure On the Right

    September 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Politics

    Someone made an interesting and valid point on television recently…a significant event in itself. In one brief segment between pharmaceutical commercials for sexual member enhancement on Sunday morning, someone said–it doesn’t matter who because they are all dipping into the same well of nonsense–that we now have a partisan Democracy. That is to say, we [...]
