Obama vs. Lee Hamilton on Iraq as "central front" in war on terror, timetables for withdra

The Mad Irish Man

All: Please note that Lee Hamilton, who introduced Sen. Obama at his speech in Washington today, disagrees with Sen. Obama on at least two central issues addressed in his speech today. Specifically, Sen. Obama today denied that Iraq has ever been a “central front in the war on terror,” despite the fact that Hamilton described Iraq as “a central front in the war on terror” in testimony to the

Barack's Plan

Posted by lrandall in Untagged

Barack Obama's strategic withdrawal plan offers a thoughtful, reasoned, appropriate response to ending our presence in Iraq. As published in the New York Times, his plan calls for a two-year withdrawal schedule, with security transitioning to Iraqi forces. Obama's plan is a refreshing change from the misguided, mal-intended, ideologically-driven policy the Bush administration and McCain are

Patriotism, Does it Matter?

Posted by Don Pesci in Untagged 

Don Pesci

What does it mean to be an American? Opportunity , reward for hard work, respect for talent, entrepreneurship, leader in productivity, respect for education; the chance to get ahead, to name a few characteristics.

What makes us a nation is our heritage, but we are losing it. We are losing our American memory.

If the Fed and the Treasury are going to supercede the free market, and everything big is too big to fail, then short America, ignore the day to day gyrations, and pick up your profits in 7 years or so. Congress and Bush are utterly impotent failures. Bernanke and Paulson, representing both theoretical and hands on experience, are doing yeoman's jobs buying time while temporarily selling out

The Price at the Pump - Part 4

Posted by BalaamsAss in Untagged 

BalaamsAss
 As outlined earlier, the price of oil is high and rising because world demand is outrunning supply, and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. There are many reasons for this, but one rules over all others: China. As long as the achievement of 10% economic growth per year remains the primary policy of the Chinese government, China will sweep world markets clean of every spare barrel

The LK Manifesto, Part 1

Posted by LooseKannon in Untagged 

LooseKannon

I’m dismayed by a populace that sees adapting to a changing environment as flip-flopping. Using a Darwinian train of thought, if we hadn’t flip-flopped, we wouldn’t be here now. We’ve become so used to politicians who drift where the wind blows, and/or aren’t mentally agile enough to think on their feet, that when one does, they’re accused of wavering. This is only compounded by our current

A flyer for every American

Posted by CenterLeftLiberal in Untagged 

CenterLeftLiberal

Last semester I created a flyer for my economics 300 class at which every American should have a look. My goal was to sum up the arguments in favor of the exsistance of the welfare state in the most simple and concise manner possible - not to brag, but I think I did a pretty good job at delivering an easy to understand explanantion (perhaps to easy and too accessible in retrospect). Again, the

San Francisco Hate

That commercial of old (not sure if they still use it, I don't watch much TV anymore)  for Rice-a-Roni, "the San Francisco Treat" . . . was the inspiration for the title of this article.  No, the article is not about rice, Condoleezza, brown, white  or otherwise.  It is about a San Francisco writer's response to the call of one pro-family activist organization to boycott McDonald's.

A New Haven For Terrorists

Posted by Don Pesci in Untagged

If you are an illegal alien who has penetrated the porous borders of the United States on your way to New Haven, you may be rewarded with an identification card upon presentation to local authorities of utility bills and foreign consular ID cards, both of which are easily forged and easily obtained by using forged credentials.
