The restaurant that radio talk show host Thom Hartmann — comedian Al Franken's heir apparent on Air America — has chosen for lunch speaks volumes.
An overvalued currency has been the source of many of our economic problems. What do policy-makers in China, Japan, Argentina, Malaysia, Indonesia, the European Union and many other countries understand that ours don't? It seems they know that if the value of their currencies ri …
"Every single debate over the Iraq War for the past 5 years, every 911 discussion for the past 6 years, every discussion on the Cole and Al Queda for the past 9 years...they've all revolved around a choice on the part of America's political leaders:
Should the US support Pakistan's Musharaaf, or support democratic reform in a Muslim country (something that the left says is impossible-well, at least when they're talking about Iraq)?
Al Queda is in Iraq-thus making the war in Iraq part of the war on terror (despite specific denials of this from Democrats), and defeating Al Queda has been described as key to victory in Iraq.
911 was a long time ago, and so much water has passed under the bridge now that most Americans no longer feel or recognize or are even willing to admit that this nation is still at war.
It's clear to anyone who is left of center in the slightest that so-called "liberals" and "progressives" are increasingly more intolerant than they are tolerant when it comes to political discourse, and this article illustrates that very well.
Williams has a very interesting piece showing how when at war...people at home should listen to the people fighting the war in order to form one's opinions. VERY good read.
When you look up liberal in the dictionary, you find descriptions such as "open-minded" or "open to new ideas" But today, too often people who claim that they are liberal, are not. In fact, too often they're completely intolerant of other people's views.
WOW! A video illustrating the largest campaign fraud case in American history, in the arms of the inevitable Democratic nominee for President in 2008.
A lot of people still view war as a football game with frontlines and success gauged in the forward backward movement of those lines. Wars are far more complex and the very word "war" holds under it as many different forms as "sport" does different games.
An outstanding article showing how a strain of radical Islam is a threat to the US and not just with suicide bombers!
Americans keep making less and spending more. That lifestyle is contributing to supersized debt and the decline of progressive politics.
A very good first person view and viewpoint of how the wildfires are politicized
A very progressive Arab thinker speaks out: MEMRI TV Clip #1363 - Bahraini Liberal Author Dhiyaa Al-Musawi: "We Hang Our Thinkers on the Gallows of Ideology. I Listen to Music and Placed Pictures of Jesus and Martin Luther King in My Home.
Rather than discuss how environmental concerns prevented controlled burns which would have made the fires far less likely....rather than discuss how environmentalists prohibited and in some cases even brought about the fining of people who tried to clear brush from their homes to …
Why is that more people who are politically progressive don't speak out in favor of ending our nation's disastrous war on drugs?
Twenty or 30 years ago, the Nobel Peace Prize was considered to be among the most prestigious awards in the world. It helped make historic figures out of Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa and Lech Walesa.
The conflict with Iran comes down to a basic inability of Americans to deal with strong, potentially threatening Islamic states.
It may seem odd to look to a religious example as a defining moment in political change, but when carefully considered the movement of Martin Luther, Protestantism, broke the rigid framework of Catholicism in an age when people could be put to death for going against the status q …
Ayaan Hirsi Ali returned to the Netherlands, Dutch daily NRC Handelsblad reported on Monday…
From the Oakland Tribune section of InsideBayArea.com, an opinion poll asks, "Should Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have been invited to speak at Columbia University?" Of course, there's only one possible answer to that question.
With all of the hoo-hah as of late about the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance you'd think that we had a nation of thumping patriots out there. This may be true, but I don't experience it when I attend sporting events.
The Islamic Republic of Iran—under the government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad—is engaged in a major anti-homosexual pogrom.
Although I have made a fortune in the financial markets, I now fear that the untrammeled intensification of laissez-faire capitalism and the spread of market values into all areas of life is endangering our open and democratic society.
