        The massacre of more than 200 persons in Baghdad on the American Thanksgiving Day holiday highlighted anew the violence that is now tearing Iraq apart.

      • If So Many Believe in God, Why Doesn't It Show?
        11/22/06
        My computer is in the kitchen, beside a big bay window. Outside the window is a tree. I love watching the birds and squirrels romp and play in and around that tree as I type and think.

        Last year at this time, I watched as the leaves on that tree changed from green to bright oranges and ye

      • California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi
        11/21/06
        The fact that California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi will soon be Speaker Of The House should be a good thing for California. After all she does represent California and one would assume that she would attempt to assist the state that put her into office.

        Unhappily, that does not appear to

      • Implications of America's Withdrawal from Iraq.
        11/20/06
        The Democrats have taken over Capitol Hill, and have a mandate to withdraw American forces from Iraq ASAP. It is likely that in the medium to long term, this move would have great impact on Israel

      • The Core Problem With Radical Islam.
        11/17/06
        Not many people - especially those with no spiritual, or religious experience, understand the commitment that has attached to Radical Islam. It is woven into the fiber of their being because the tenets of the religion call them to destroy or subjugate the non-believers. It is central to the writings

      • Discover Your Heart in San Francisco.
        11/13/06
        Besides the Golden Gate Bridge and the funky neighborhoods, are you really aware of all that San Francisco has to offer as a vacation destination? Art, culture, history and fun permeate the city and spring up in various forms around every corner. Dull moments and dreary days are few and far between,

      • America – United We Stand Divided We Are.
        11/13/06
        The two party system in America has not been troublesome up to recent days for several reasons. Firstly, it was always taken for granted that the singular goal of each party was identical. That goal was doing what was best for the country. The only real difference between the partisans was how to ac

      • Nancy Pelosi Must Be having One Of The Best Days Of Her Life.
        11/08/06
        When House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi from California woke up today she must have felt that she was dreaming. After all, the Democrats will be taking over Congress and will probably be taking over the Senate. She will be the next Speaker of the House. California Propositions 1A-1E won and put Cali

      • Is Civility And Courtesy Dead?
        11/03/06
        We just started this blog recently, however in the span of less than three months we have had to delete several hundred comments posted in response to our, mostly my, posts and to other peoples comments about those posts.

        Those comments were not deleted because they disagreed with what wa

      • John Kerry Suffers From Hoof In Mouth Disease.
        11/01/06
        That's right, I said hoof in mouth, not foot in mouth. I normally do not like to use insults when writing about people or issues, but in this case, if I really said what I think about Senator Kerry, I could not print it. It's times like these that I wish that I was a talented and capable w

      • Kerry vs. Statement of Arrogance.
        11/01/06
        Kerry vs. Statement of Arrogance To American Soldiers in Iraq

        It never fails, when one person says something wrong, or I suppose, not too smart, as did Kerry recently with the statement he said he got wrong, read wrong, memorized wrong, and said wrong, now he blames this person and that p
