Teacher beaten by student in classroom, absolutely nothing happens as a result

No teacher should ever fear for their safety inside the classroom. That is the mark of a school in need of resources, opportunities and a hard line stance. Above all in our school system we must make a shift to respecting and protecting our teachers better. These types of situations truly make [...]

Finances of the candidates

Barack Obama is worth $1.3 million. This compared to John McCain’s $40 million and Hillary Clinton’s $35 million, looks pretty meager. This was before Sen. Clinton released her tax records which reflected nearly $110 million in income, but still very interesting. It’s hard to call it elitism when you’ve never touched poor. It’s and interesting [...]

Military contracts funded the West Texas polygamist sect

In what feels like a twice-a-day occurrence, I have to say again this just proves why we need to have a more transparent government. Why people need to become aware and come to grips with the fact that our current administration has run amok with cronyism and selling privilege. This is why we [...]

Lou Dobbs is my hero for tonight

This man just said something so dead on and frankly, dangerous to say on a network owned by a corporation. Keep in mind there are two other pundits on the show, utterly silenced by this exchange. Lou told the truth about corporate America being the problem, which is really at the root of [...]

Iraq is overpaying the government and bureaucracy on our dime

I’m the last guy to give you the generic “gas prices are so high” gripe. There is much more to that story than simply corporations gouging prices on a necessary commodity. Supply and demand explain nearly all of the price increase in oil and gas prices. Simply put, a large population is [...]

Since we continually have to bring up associates, let’s be fair

Rod Parsley and here’s a little story about one of his spiritual pupils.

Hagee calls the Catholic Church a “great whore” and a “false cult system” and compares Catholics to Nazis. This is absurd. McCain continues to embrace him, no media coverage for Teflon John.

This is a good showing, a condemnation of religious leaders [...]

CNN and the truth about Chicken Little in the media

A great panel on CNN points out the fact that Barack Obama came from an extremely modest home and somehow becomes an elitist the moment he achieves some semblance of the American dream. This truly is about O’Reilly’s “Christian male power structure” and the added element of race, where comments and actions done almost [...]

Moderate isn’t just a word to attach to your dumb ideas

So I just received my harsh backlash from docweasel, an incredibly insightful and thoughtful group of anonymous bloggers covering current events with a real world view. Basically they take current events and dumb them down with ignorance. It’s the redneck, gun-toting, bible-thumping, others-hating viewpoint they’re bending over backward to defend. Their pen [...]

I don’t know why I’m even surprised by Fox News anymore

The weekend edition of Fox & Friends bills Obama’s statements in San Francisco about rural America as “Barack Obama attacks some voters and how John McCain and Hillary Clinton tell him to ‘back off!’” It’s repulsive to think these people have credibility with anyone in this country. I am sure a large portion [...]

Juan Williams analysis of Obama’s ‘guns and religion’ statement was the most fair on Fox

Last night’s O’Reilly Factor (04/11/08) was hosted by Laura Ingraham since Bill had the night off, but the show still had some interesting pieces. Just keep in mind interesting isn’t a moral distinction. When it looks like a train wreck, no doubt they will be all over it. However, the latest train wreck [...]

Why is the Constitution considered a radical thing to talk about?

I first heard someone talking about it on über-conservative talk radio, and then felt that sense all throughout the Ron Paul Revolution, and I just can’t stop thinking about why this occurs. It’s the same sense of creepy feeling you get when Dennis Kucinich enters the room. The problem is, when they start [...]

Is this the anti-Obama crowd? Fueled by politics or emotions?

I just read the most angry and bitter blog today, apparently a response to some of the comments Senator Obama made in Pennsylvania. Like I said, they were dumb statements, but I can’t imagine Barack Obama is anywhere near the season’s lead for dumb statements, next to Hillary Clinton or John McCain. I [...]
