Politics - Should Failing Major Newspapers Receive Government Bailout Money? Absolutely Not The demise of major American newspapers in our ordinary life could be seen as sad and tragic for a grandparent, and as an excellent opportunity to capitalize on another's misfortune for a plugged in, technological savvy grandchild. The distance in generational gap between the two is not so much a preference as a giant chasm. Learn how and why it happened. An Open Letter - My Prayer for President Barack Obama and the Future of Our Great Nation My prayer for you, President Barack Obama, is that you will be able to answer the call of solitude when it beckons. It has been such a tumultuous start to your presidency. You came with an open mind, a clear conscience and a good heart. It may well have been your intention to make every decision in your presidency with right thinking and right motives. You have now discovered that the very people you trust can make it otherwise. Political Satire - America's Presidential Election Coverage Is Biased and Steeped in Stupidity Those of us who have suspected that the media coverage of the 2008 Presidential Race has not been fair now have a study to validate our suspicions. The Center for Media and Public Affairs spent the past two months monitoring comments by sources, voters, reporters and anchors that aired on evening newscasts at America's three main national networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) and documented what many of us already knew. Learn the full story. Facts About the Second Most Controversial Topic in America - The First Is Abortion Many who read the title to this article might think that the second most controversial topic in America today is whether the United States should continue its war in Iraq. Those who thought that would be, in fact, dead wrong. This article is really about facts, not about our involvement in trying to make Iraq and its people adopt a democratic society, but to revisit the place God occupies in our public institutions and in our society. Is There Anything More Disingenuous Than a Whining, Petulant Political Party in America? Presidential elections provide a lot of humor when you can recognize the joke. Every few days some new, outrageous flap kicks another outrageous flap off of the front page of our nation's daily newspapers. I do not care if political parties whine about the events of the day. What I do care about is the righteousness with which the Democrats and Republicans do whine and complain. Please spare me the soap opera On Politics- We Are a Nation Divided When It Comes to the "a" Word - Part 5 There comes a time in a person's life when you have to start thinking for yourself rather than be a lemming to politics, a political party, politicians, pundits, predators and a phony press. We are a nation divided when it comes to the "a" word. We are all about rights, and little about responsibilities. Rights crushed responsibilities a long time ago, and now we remain content to kill our unborn. It is really all about us. On Politics - Propaganda Is Now Disguised as News - Part 4 There is probably nothing that disappoints me more than the current sad, sorry state of newspapers in America today. There is more personal journalism in newspapers than news. Name brand newspapers that once had proud heritages with outstanding reporters have become nothing more than pandering sluts who cannot get enough of their personal journalism and politics into the news side of the paper. On Politics - One of the Most Lucrative Jobs in America - Part 3 Being a politician in America today is one of the best paying jobs a person could have. If you do not know that the vast majority of politicians lie, cheat and steal as necessary to get elected and stay elected, you do not understand much about politics in America today. The best job most national politicians actually do is helping themselves get rich legally at the expense of the electorate they are supposed to be representing. On Politics: News Writers Are Really Political Hacks - Part 2 When reading Krauthammer, I am reminded that Henry Ford said "the hardest thing to do in the world is to think, and that is why people do so little of it." This is especially true during Presidential elections which start about a year too early and end about a year too late. It is often hard for me to decide which is wearier, the droppings of a contentious person or a Presidential election. Yikes! We have 18 more months to go in this election. On Politics - Giuliani Is a Pro Choice Republican - Part 1 It is possible that Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani has infuriated his Democratic rivals to the point of distraction. As a good Republican Giuliani should be pro life but he is pro choice. Only Democrats are supposed to be pro choice. Giuliani is now under searing attack from every Democrat and flaming left-wing Democratic news organization worthy of the name.
