    The way it SHOULD be.

    Not sure, but I believe it was Mark Twain that said "if I don't read the newspaper, I'm uninformed - if I do read the newspaper, I'm misinformed." A few other quotes: Once a newspaper touches a story, the facts are lost forever, even to the protagonists. - Norman Mailer A newspaper is a...

    The party's over

    This a rather long article, but it brings up some interesting points and hits on some obvious truths. As I was reading this the first time, I couldn't help but think of the unnecessary luxuries we have come to take for granted, the way our generation has indulged their children, and the drastic...

    Obama Snubs Nation's Heros

    Here's my last posting on this thread: from the George Washington University website, a article detailing the nine official inaugural balls of 2005 attended by Bush plus the one he started the night with: the Salute to Heroes Ball. The guy was a true supporter of our troops. Inauguration...

    Obama Snubs Nation's Heros

    Look at the picture in my previous post - pictures are easy to understand. Then read the article from the Air Force publication. Duh - no kidding! I called the Renaissance Hotel at 999 Ninth St - ph. #202.898.9000. Spoke with some guy named Chad in their Events Dept. He was a little...

    Obama Snubs Nation's Heros

    I did realize that - the only ball I'm talking about is the Salute to Heroes Ball that until this year, has been attended by every newly inaugurated president since its inception. I couldn't give a rip about any of the other Inaugural Balls, their history, or who attended them. My bone to pick...

    He went to this one - it was his FIRST STOP: President thanks veterans for service during inaugural ball President thanks veterans for service during inaugural ball WASHINGTON -- President Bush addresses supporters at the "Salute to Heroes" inaugural ball here Jan. 20. The president and...

    Obama Snubs Nation's Heros

    Here's the link to the American Legion's Public Relations Division and their Media Contacts which includes Craig Roberts: American Legion Since his contact info was readily available, I e-mailed Mr. Roberts and asked him if the Salute To Heroes Ball took place this year and if either Pres...

    Obama Snubs Nation's Heros

    Evidently, this argument has been happening on other sites. From the Berman Post - yet another blog (see link below): email from the American legion From: Roberts, Craig R. croberts@legion. org Subject: Salute to Heroes inaugural event To: larry@nam-vet. net Cc: "March, Joseph H."...

    It's mourning in America

    Truer words were never spoken. The name calling, the disrespect, the constant criticism and the hysterical vitriolic hatred directed at Bush from the Democrats started before he was inaugurated for his first term. Of course the mainstream media picked up on it and it never ended, or even slacked...

    What grade would you give?

    I would also agree that "C" would be appropriate. In spite of the claims to the contrary by Democrats, Bush is not a conservative Republican. His war policy was spot on, and he's kept the country free of terrorist attacks while taking the fight to them on their own turf. His economic policies...

    Boycott the inauguration

    Take a look at the past eight years and you'll see we have NOT gone "down and down". The mainstream media would of course have us believe this, but the Bush economic policies were very successful for the most part. Granted, he went along with too much money on non-essentials but the deficit can...

    Joe biden; The Most Experienced President Since Anybody!!

    It will probably be best for the country if this particular VP's duties are limited to ribbon cuttings at new buildings and attending funerals. He's been a joke for years, only now he's a more highly visible joke.

    The GOP - What Now?

    This has been a pet peeve of mine for years, especially the past eight. I used to like Sat. Night Live years ago when they had talented actors and writers like Steve Martin, Dan Ackroyd, John Belushi, etc. Their material was always very good and their political satire was even-handed and based...

    Boycott the inauguration

    CHANGE and HOPE are coming: CHANGES like openly gay recruits being welcomed with open arms into the military; captured terrorists will no longer be forcefully interrogated (if we're nice to them, they'll be nice to us); those who don't work and pay taxes will get a check from the govt; health...

    Think it Can't Happen Here!?!?

    Milton Freidman once said that if the US Govt was put in charge of the Sahara Desert, within six months there would be a shortage of sand. You can bet your heart monitor there will be a shortage of doctors if they get control of the health system.

    Think it Can't Happen Here!?!?

    On top of the govt regulations and the frivilous malpractive lawsuits, we've got the cost of supporting all the medical care of illegal aliens, the welfare cases, and the others who don't have insurance but are entitled by the govt to medical care anyway. Maybe one good thing about this...
