Voters elect the people who run the government so if it is broke…we did it!
For the sake of plain old fashioned truth, let me start this piece of communication with a fundamental fact. Every one of the people responsible for governing the United States of America was elected to do so in campaigns where they [...]

Who knew tea could cause such hateful stupidity…
Let’s start with a common truth. The tea-party is as racist as the guy in the photo that attacked black students during the busing days in Boston. Having said that, maybe that’s why they keep rambling on about how Obama is taking food out of the mouth of [...]

The Supreme Court voted 5-4 to allow corporations to spend any amount they want to support the campaigns of presidential and congressional candidates. I must admit I did not see anything like this coming. I think it is an astonishing decision although if I reflect on who the members of the court are, I should [...]

Isn’t it interesting that the only thing the majority of Republicans agree on is that President Obama is not good for the United States for some reason or other. While almost 3 out of 4 Republicans feel that way, there is still that 1 in 4 that thinks he is at least a human being [...]

Close your eyes and try to picture you and all the members of your family in this environment. You are living in Afghanistan where every so often, Al-Qaeda blows something up trying to kill Americans and other coalition forces and end up killing innocent Afghans as well. Every now and then, a Taliban bomber blows something [...]

Suppose a licensed practicing physician said “We’re losing more Americans every day because of inaction …(regarding a lack of health insurance) than drunk driving and homicide combined,” Should his remark have any credibility? If you are one of the more rational people in America and answered yes, then you should know that Dr. David [...]
