Today

One year and one day ago today, Barack Obama gave a speech in Spartanburg, South Carollina that spelled out the reasons why he was running for president. I think it’s worth revisiting, so here’s a snippet: ____ I am in this race because I don’t want to see us spend the next year re-fighting the [...]

The fight for that which is the United States of America

Last Sunday, when Colin Powell made his endorsement for the Obama candidacy, he reminded us of what the United States of America is all about- the freedom to worship as one feels fit. Freedom of religion, as well as freedom of speech is one of the guiding principles of the American dream. “Is there something [...]

Colin Powell makes the case

Former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell made some very big news this weekend by endorsing Barack Obama for president.

Did Hillary oppose Civil Rights Act of 1964?

I have very little respect for Robert Novak, a slimy piece of crap that compromised American security when he blew the cover for a CIA agent whose husband questioned the logic of the Bush regime. If I had my way, old Bob would be spending some serious prison time for this treasonous act. That being [...]

Obama’s Accomplishments

One of the biggest gripes I’ve heard about Barack Obama is his “lack of experience.” What most people don’t realize is that he’s actually had more experience as an elected official than either Hillary Clinton or John Edwards. He actually wrote some pretty decent laws that got passed. Charles Peters wrote about his accomplishments for [...]
