It seems to me that anti-abortion folks have an untenable position if they hold to the idea that some killing is ok. I have debated abortion with many anti-choice folks. I have never found one yet that took the position that killing any human for any reason was wrong. Scott Roeder took the position that [...]
Republicans, the home of many wealthy corporations and individuals, control public perception through the media. They are very good at it – much better than Democrats. Maybe the media is liberal if you listen to them but voters fall in line like zombies to their beckoning call. The Heritage Foundation, a very conservative “think tank” [...]
Rest assured that if you are angry and want to vote against the Democrats by voting for a Republican you will be voting for Big Business.

The implied assumption of a “war on terrorism” is that the war will destroy and annihilate terrorists not create more terrorist. This old school thought ignores the lesson of history. A nation can be fought and defeated in war but not an ideology. To the degree that terrorism incorporates an ideology that forces a conflict [...]

George Santayana remarked that forgetting history was tantamount to repeating it. I would add that re-writing history is also tantamount to repeating it. How do you re-write history – simple, propaganda. Propaganda is the art of equivocation. If you have an ideology to promote and you minimize differences and maximizes similarities that reinforce your dogma [...]
