      • Dems Can No Longer Use The Economy Excuse
        07/31/07
        Some economic news came out of Washington this week which should give every Democratic candidate for President reason to pause.

        What this news bulletin shows is that Dems can no longer repeat the tired Clinton Era mantra, "It's the economy, stupid."

        The Commerce

      • Virus Risks and Homeland Security
        07/24/07
        When we discuss International Terrorism, most people think in terms of bombings, hijackings or worse nuclear weapons in the hands of the bad guys. Indeed, these are serious, but what about diseases and viruses? What about Bird Flu mutations or, Small Pox or Ebola mixed with the common flu. Not very

      • Proud to be an American
        07/24/07
        Howard Zinn, writing recently in The Progressive, said that this Independence Day Americans "...would have done well to renounce nationalism and all its symbols: its flags, its pledges of allegiance, its anthems, its insistence in song that God must single out America to be blessed." His c

      • Enforcement Is Not Enough
        07/21/07
        Next week New Haven, Connecticut plans on issuing an ID card that will be available to illegal immigrants. Besides providing a pass to municipal services like libraries and parks, the card will work as a debit card for parking meters and be valid identification to present to police and banks.

      • Congress Wants Bureaucrats to be Forgiven for Student Loans
        07/21/07
        It is amazing that we have a legislative branch that is above the law. Recently a poll was taken and the US Citizens rated the approval rating of the US Congress at the lowest point in 70 years. But one has to ask why this is? Well, because they operate above the law.

        For instance, slappi

      • Illegal Immigration Must Stop.
        07/18/07
        The protests of illegal immigrants over the weekend underscored what a huge problem the country is facing. While America has always been a melting pot, immigration must be legal and controlled. We can no longer afford to shoulder the enormous cost of feeding, educating and providing medical care for

      • Words Have Power? Bennie Thompson's Epiphany.
        07/17/07
        Congressman Bennie Thompson is your typical liberal. He believes in Socialized Medicine, redistribution of wealth programs such as Social Security, government interference with banks and other lenders to enable people who can’t afford loans to obtain them so they can live beyond their means and even

      • Another Stem Cell Rant.
        07/13/07
        I was just sitting down about to enjoy my morning coffee, when my boss rambled in.

        “Did you see that Op-Ed in the Salt Lake Tribune this morning?” asked Don Margolis, the founder of adult stem cell company, Theravitae. I sighed knowing another rant was coming my way.

        Margolis p

      • To Build A Better Mousetrap.
        07/13/07
        Is all fair in love, war and talk radio?

        "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government

      • President Sarkozy and the French Jogging Controversy.
        07/10/07
        In France the jogging habit of President Sarkozy has become the subject of debate, analysis and yes ... even psychoanalysis. In the cafes favored by Paris intellectuals the talk is no longer about existentialism or post-modernism - but about Sarkozy's penchant for dressing in shorts and runners

      • Idiocy At The Speed of Ludicrous.
        07/06/07
        The internet is a great thing and we should all be thankful to Al Gore for creating it for us. Now, before I get one more email from some numbskull saying that Al Gore never claimed to have invented the internet let me put that fallacy to rest by providing you with his exact quote: "During my s

      • Moving Iraq Forward.
        07/06/07
        In its just published Third Quarter Forecast for 2007, private intelligence firm Strategic Forecasting (STRATFOR) predicts that the governments of the United States and Iran "...are now closer than ever to reaching an agreement..." on Iraq. If such a deal is indeed finalized, STRATFOR expe

      • Ending Discrimination in Schools
        07/05/07
        An intriguing ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court could re-open discussion about the brainwashing that occurs in all-too-many public school classrooms these days.

        The High Court this week issued a thumbs-down to so-called "diversity" plans in two large school districts that use rac

      • Che Guevara - Laying the Ghost to Rest.
        07/01/07
        Editors Note: I requested that the editors of California Issues feature this article because, in California, I see on an almost dialy basis, young people wearing Che t-shirts. Whenever I ask one of those young people why he or she is wearing a Che t-shirt I am told that Che was a freedom fighter and
