Can You Handle the Truth on Troop Levels?
It's amazing to me how short-term memory loss effects otherwise intelligent people. As the rhetoric over troop levels in Afghanistan ratchets up even higher, can I remind my Obama-hating friends of something? The President has already sent more troops to Afghanistan this year!! That's right! I know, it seems like ancient history - but it's TRUE! Back in February, listening to... »
Black People – Save Your Children From Themselves!!
A few days ago, news agencies reported on a 15-year-old who was set on fire by other children in his neighborhood for snitching. The boy apparently reported the other kids after he caught them stealing his father's bicycle. The victim suffered burns over 75% of his body.

The Case of Michael Vick
Over the last 23 months, I have followed the case of Michael Vick very closely. I literally read every article regarding this uniquely American tragedy with a heightened sense of criticalness.

America Is a Muslim Nation!
President Obama recently commented that America could be considered on the the largest Muslim nations in the world.

Others interpret it as the President using false population estimates to curry favor with the Muslims... »
Sotomayor a Racist? Rediculous!
Let the games begin my friends! Rush Limbaugh, the leader of the Republican Party, has accused Sonia Sotomayor of being a racist - or in his words, a "reverse racist". He's making this claim because he disagrees with her ruling in a case where several white and one latino firefighters sued the city of New Haven, Ct. for discrimination. Sotomayor was a member... »
The Real Deal on the Rape Kit Controversy
I’m sure you’ve heard of it by now. The Great State of Texas has been charging rape victims for the costs of the kits used to collect evidence.

Leave Ms. California Alone!!
I can't believe I'm saying this - but YES - PLEASE LEAVE MS. CALIFORNIA ALONE!! I'm amazed that this is even news! This is just like the "Joe the Plumber" situation - but far, far worse!! As a proud supporter of human rights, gay rights, civil rights etc. I disagree with what she said. I also agree that the way she... »
America to Spend Billions to Lose a War!
President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton are preparing to devote hundreds of millions of dollars to augment the $1.4 BILLION dollars America has already committed to the Mexican Government in the War on Drugs.
