How many more victims like Jaycee are being held against their will in our communities till we finally get it that Megan's law and early release of sexual predators is NOT the answer?

Let us start a country-wide movement to deny any victory to John McCain and Sarah Palin by electing Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Let us be their voice as they have been ours.

A few weeks back a volcano in Iceland blew its top halting air travel within Europe and it only amazed me. It was Mother Nature doing what comes naturally, but this oil volcano is something so artificial and that is why it angers me.

As we all know, Carlson is married with four children and one has to wonder: Why is he hanging around a brothel owner let alone prostitutes? Where are his conservative values?

Is Sarah "palm-reader' Palin actually advocating a furthering of our wars within the Middle East? Just think if she did have our nuclear codes, she would be the danger to our national security. Is she trying to bring about rapture?

Glenn Beck with his '9/12' movement has ceased to be an on-air journalist (not that I ever believed he had the right to call himself that), but is a one man PAC.
(11 comments) SHARE Friday, January 23, 2009 John McCain is a true patriot unlike Rush Limbaugh
During this past presidential campaign, I was a critic of Senator John McCain, but have come to realize that it is he who is a true patriot as he has chosen to back President Barack Obama in words and in deeds. Something that Rush Limbaugh will never understand.

Senator McCain has no credibility in entering this debate over unwanted pregnancies when he opposes any spending on contraception. This crisis felt by many can be avoided and prevented, but he is unwilling to help America's children.

Even our new president, Barack Obama indicted Bush swiftly in his inaugural address, so that history will have that on record. While I do opine that Bush did not care one bit of what our new president was saying, he had to just sit there and take it on the chin in front of the 1.8 million gathered and the billions who viewed it from close and afar.

I know that I am over-simplifying how to end this violence, but perhaps the simplest of answers is always the best. Because I for one am sick and tired of seeing dead and injured children in war zones. Their very images are the things that nightmares are made of.
(4 comments) SHARE Saturday, December 8, 2007 Robert Gates said, "No, I do not." When asked if Israel posed a threat
Note to both Republicans and Democrats alike: I challenge you to vote Paul and Gravel in your primaries instead of the top-tier candidates who are blowing smoke when it comes to any threat posed by Iran and no threat coming from Israel. Americans for the most part are tired of being played for suckers.

I just wish we had a Homeland Security Department to raise our alert status to red in confronting their sanctioned terrorism. I am now seeing corporate executives as being far more dangerous to us all than Osama bin Laden. I even despise them more.
(22 comments) SHARE Tuesday, December 30, 2008 NBC in inviting Ann Coulter on their network is a lump of coal in our stockings
I am left to ask NBC, "Exactly what are you thinking by inviting her to present what misguided ideas she has?" Invite people that are of high-minded thinking who can add something to our nation's dialogue to help solve the immense problems we are all facing. Voices like Coulter only seek to destroy this nation.

This notion that we cannot allow some banks to die repulses me as five million people are out of work. Are we treating these banks as a human being whose rights trump ordinary citizens in this country? Patients in various hospitals are taken off life support systems every single day when there is no sign of life.
(1 comments) SHARE Tuesday, September 9, 2008 When it comes to the McCain/Palin ticket, the new 'L' word is lying
Yes, Palin is flat out lying to the American people and we should equally tarnish her for telling such lies instead of allowing politicians to tarnish those who are of one political persuasion namely liberals. In my opinion lying, liar and lied has become the new 'L' word.
(21 comments) SHARE Wednesday, April 1, 2009 President Barack Obama, you lied to me and broke a promise not to raise my taxes
To President Barack Obama, you broke your solemn promise to me NOT to raise my taxes. It does infuriate me that you could not pass on the cost of this program to a broader spectrum of this society and that me and many others like me are forced to bear the burden.

To President Barack Obama, I ripped into your plans to send more soldiers into Afghanistan and rightfully so. Should you sign this healthcare bill in its present form into law, I will back a true progressive candidate that chooses to primary you for the 2012 presidential election.
(10 comments) SHARE Saturday, February 21, 2009 Miscreants like Rick Santelli are the true 'losers'
Then again, Santelli voted for McCain whose obstructionist friends in both houses of congress have done everything they can to sabotage any plan put forth by President Barack Obama. At least they are trying unlike miscreants like them.
