McCain: I’ll Cut Deficits Like Reagan (Who Tripled Deficit)

Town Hall: asked how he plans to balance the budget, McCain praised Reaganomics…going on to say how he’ll cut the deficit, apparenlty using that same magical fairy dust that Ronny had.”
This jaded view of the Reagan administration is spooky in a time when executive power has already been expanded beyond belief. President Reagan [...]

Criminals wear ski masks

If you notice in any of the video of waterboarding taking place, you will see the soldiers are wearing ski masks, like the henchmen for a criminal outfit. Sure, the mob boss doesn’t wear a ski mask, but his enforcers do…that’s all I can think when I see this clear torture taking place. [...]

George Bush stole my generation

Forget the 4,000 casualty mark, the $500 billion dollars spent, the absolute lack of progress. Consider the fact that 1 in 8 troops return with post-traumatic stress disorder. After 121 suicides in 2007 among active military personnel, we need to consider what we’re doing to an entire generation (without the draft, we still [...]

A ‘breakthrough’ at the Stonehenge dig

A recent BBC news story about an archaeological dig at Stonehenge reveals a breakthrough about the nature of its existence. This article is short but very interesting, it also includes two videos on the dig. The site even hosts a Timewatch website, updated with daily feeds and videos from the dig. Stonehenge [...]

John McCain says: Al Qaeda in Tibet is a major threat

Well it’s only a hop, skip and a jump away from what he’s confusing now, that Al Qaeda in Iraq (which gained footing only after the US invasion in 2003) is Shi’ah; and grossly overestimating their popularity (an estimated 1000 extremists in Iraq). Today he says he won’t rule out pre-emptive war and he’s [...]

Ambassador Crocker, you remind me too much of Alberto Gonzales

There are some things you seem to know about, and then there’s your job, which you clearly don’t have a clue about. You don’t have a clue of the minds of American people, who understand a 5-week cutoff doesn’t mean much when you’ve strung this war along for five years.

General Petraeus seems [...]

Michelle Malkin couldn’t last a year teaching in an inner-city high school

I just caught Michelle Malkin on Fox News this morning talking about an East Texas girl who recently filed a false police report after classmates tore her class project apart. The class project in question? A protest sign. Ms. Malkin’s response? She thought the teacher was substituting activism with academics. [...]

An interesting MoveOn.org ad- 6 Months at a Time

I found this ad over at Think Progress today, it was a very interesting spot, I watched it 3 times before commenting. I have admired and respected Senator McCain for a long time, but I simply cannot support him for President. This nation, and this earth need a resolution of peace. We [...]

Throwback: A relevant warning 1961-Present

That’s funny, I don’t remember learning much about this in school. The YouTube generation and younger teachers really need to utilize the internet to its fullest. I’m passionate about education, even if I’m on a hiatus. I would like to continue to develop some lessons and ideas, so as that happens I’ll [...]

The internet- an election season godsend

The internet is such a beautiful thing in so many ways. Researchers, journalists, tv addicts, bookworms, music junkies and even former Dungeons & Dragons groupies now spend more and more of their lives staring at the interactive glowing screen. The argument could be made that these aren’t all good things but I say [...]

Don’t politicize the Olympics, do something now!

President Bush and I rarely agree, but I agree here and for the same reason as he stated in an interview with EWTN.
“…if I politicize the Olympic Games, will that make it less effective for me to deal with them, or more effective?” Bush said. Source
I agree with this rationale. I know it would [...]
