1276. Read This Article If You Are A Democrat By Lance Winslow
      If you are reading this article there is a really good chance that you are a Democrat. If this is the case there is no doubt you may not have been pleased in the last Presidential Election. However the reason Bush won is many Democrats felt alienated from the group and voted for President Bush. Many claimed they would move from the United States to Canada if Bush were re-elected he was, but they did not move. Oh a few did, but indeed they are regretting it now as it is expected to be a very co…



1277. A democracy? What have we wrought?
      One of the great fallacies abroad is thinking that any regime today can lay claim to being democratic. None are. Though we say they are democratic and that they are democracies, they are actually republican government?representative democracies. This means that certain people are elected to serve the interests of the people at large. These representatives make the decisions for the people rather than the people making them. And these representatives are elected for a period of time during which …



1278. Liberals Still Don't Get It
      The joke goes “What do Albert Einstein and George Bush have in common”. Liberals then love to give the punch line which is “Nothing”. Then they laugh and revel in their superior wit because they think that they have just made a funny that knocks down President Bush. Now, I first heard this joke years ago but instead of President Bush, the subject was President Reagan. I then heard it resurface during the 2000 Presidential campaign and again in 2004. But last week when my friend told it to me aga…



1279. Belly Full of the Clinton's [Political View] By Dennis Siluk
      As I read the papers and watch the news day after day after day, and listen to the debates on what we Americans should do with Iran and North Korea, as if we were the only ones involved, yet as always the world will put their two cents in, and to be quite honest, that is all financially they will give, but for advise, like my neighbors, they will give a tone of it away free. Anyhow, I should get to my clout in my throat. As I read the papers and watch the news day after day, as I was saying b…



1280. Paid Assassins By Lance Winslow
      The civil war in Iraq seems to be much more mild than some had been predicted. Many pundits painted a doom and gloom scenario out of control. Yet we see in time period in Iraq that the civil war is reduced in duration. Generally civil wars do involve other nation states supporting one or the other. Ours surely did. Both the North and South had outside support. The Iraqi situation is no different. But all in all these things are to be expected by anyone who studies history and our war planners …



1281. Famous Filibusters in Political History
      The filibuster as a political delaying tactic has been a part of the American political process since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. Though it was not used in the early years of the nation, the filibuster has been used hundreds of times since the 1840's. Here are a few of the famous filibusters from our political history.The U.S. Constitution does not limit the length or nature of debate on the floors of the Senate or the House of Representatives. The House has since adopted rules which …



1282. People Say — and Do — the Dumbest Things By Kenn Gividen
      When Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Spector exercised his right to free speech last week, he prompted a quick response from Robert Bork. Known for being the first Supreme Court Justice nominee to be, well, “borked,” the judge was in no mood for Spector’s silliness. “I know Specter,” he retorted, “and the truth is not in him.”What prompted Bork’s remark was the Senator’s suggestion — make that accusation — that the judge “had original intent, and if his original intent stood, we’d still be segregat…



1283. Fuel Prices at the Pump: That is not the problem, Natural Gas Prices are high too By Lance Winslow
      The price at the gas pump is certainly on everyone’s mind. We read about Airliner Bankruptcies too and their fuel costs. Truckers are complaining and the average American is modifying their travels, errands and schedules around to deal with the fuel cost increases. Wholesale inflation looms as all the costs for shipping are being passed on. Even though people are joking about the outrageous costs of fuel, it is a serious matter. Hybrid sales are up over 50% in the last two-months and dealers …



1284. Banana Republic - United Kingdom By Andy Staveley
      The recent scathing remarks by High Court Judge Richard Mawrey over the disgraceful actions of the six Labour councillors from Birmingham is something the city could well do without. The Judge went as far as to say that the recent electoral fraud would disgrace even a banana republic.It transpires that the vote rigging was part of an organised campaign to steal, forge and/or alter thousands of postal votes to ensure that Labour did not suffer from another backlash against it over the Iraq war.…



1285. Ohio Department of Transportation; Sector Economic Reality By Lance Winslow
      Ohio’s transportation sector seems to be strong, even with Ohio’s outrageous attack on the trucking industry. That one has to be politics. One State patrol officer told us that they are suppose to pull over 80% commercial and 20% private vehicles. This means on Friday nights when you have drunk drivers if you pull over 2 cars then you have to pull over 8 trucks, well at 2 am, that just might be half of all trucks. Then of course having to justify yourself you look around for a way to write a t…



1286. Don't Trade Rights for Security By Terry Mitchell
      "Those who sacrifice essential liberty for temporary safety are not deserving of either liberty or safety." -- Ben Franklin, 1776In the wake of 9/11 and subsequent terrorist attacks around the world, there is a real temptation to allow the government to take away some of our most precious rights in exchange for greater security. We must resist this temptation. In order to have a free society, there are certain prices that have to be paid. One of those is the possibility that someone will take …



1287. Iran: no more time
      As Iran fails to show at the Vienna meeting with the International Atomic Energy Agency to explain about the announced resumption of its nuclear activities at a site previously sealed by the IAEA, immediate referral to the U.N. Security Council becomes inevitable and necessary. France, Britain and Germany - the 'EU-3' - have led negotiations with Iran over its nuclear weapons program since 2003. The talks broke off late last year when Iran unilaterally breached its agreement by resuming suspende…



1288. Hillary Says Health Care Can Be Fixed with IT By Lance Winslow
      The great leader and Senator from New York and wife of a former President cares about America and says that Health Care can be fixed with IT? Yes, perhaps that will help with accountability of the taxpayers wasted dollars in Health Care indeed. But how will that help the quality of Health Care?What I find interesting is that President Bush a couple of years ago said that he believed that the HIPPA Legislation would be able to be handled by entrepreneurial problem solvers through IT. Indeed, th…



1289. Prison Lighting By Lance Winslow
      Since prisons cost the State and Federal Budgets so much money and each year these costs go up we need to figure out a way to tone down these skyrocketing budget increases. One major cost besides the 30% illegal aliens in prison is the power to run the facility. Security is paramount and that means lots of lighting. When flying at night you can see the many Prison’s bright lights from flight level 4-0 and from as far out as 100-miles. Those prisons soak up an abundance of energy to run those l…



1290. Cycles
      There are few people in this world unaware of cycles. Few escape childhood without observing the cycles of seasons, birth and death, day and night, full moons and new moons, ocean tides. Birthday anniversaries and weekly cycles of seven days. If we suspect that all we know is cyclical and cycles overlap, we suspect rightly. Welcome back to the 1960s. Welcome back to the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. “Harmony and understanding, sympathy and peace abounding”. A war supported by all involved in t…



1291. A Deal Made With Ireland By Robert Baird
      SYNOD OF DRUM CEATT (494 - 5):It is interesting to observe that the dominant cleric of the Catholic Church at this Synod was Columcille who we know as St. Columba. He was trained (like many) at the Isle of Druids or Iona. His legend includes many witnesses of him affecting the wind and the rain in a battle with a proscribed Druid of the hinterlands of Scotland. At this Synod he seems indeed to be acting as the high or ‘arch’ Druid when he saves 1200 Bards or Bairds from further deprecation of …



1292. Michael Moore: "The Dumbest People on the Face of the Earth" By Kristin Johnson
      "Fahrenheit 9/11" auteur Michael Moore recently fueled the epidemic of hatred for America by denouncing his own country and his own people to the foreign press. The UK's Mirror printed Mr. Moore's observation of Americans: "They are the dumbest people on the face of the earth...in thrall to conniving, thieving, smug pricks...We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don't know about anything that's happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing." (1)That's right. We ar…



1293. MAURITANIA: Celebrating Taya's Ouster? Musical Chairs No Longer Fashionable In Africa By Aderemi Ojikutu
      A few hours ago, Colonel Ely Ould Mohamed Vall, the National Director of Security of Mauritania, launched himself into power and shut his boss, President Maaoya Taya, out of Nouakchott.This action, brought the 21-year rule of Taya to a dramatic and calculated end, in this 3 million peopled desert of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.It must however be early, quickly and clearly pointed out before the euphoria subsides, that Colonel Vall and his 16-member Military Junta for 'Justice and Democr…



1294. For they know not what they do; Federal Regulators destroying business By Lance Winslow
      Federal Regulations on Business Destroy America, these regulations are a tax passed onto the every American. How much does Federal Regulations Cost each year to our society. You are not going to like these figures. It is estimated that Federal Rules and Regulations cost in excess of 788 Billion per year. Our entire federal tax contribution to our government is 829 Billion. Think of it this way every cost to a business is passed on to the consumers and in some respects that is a tax as well. It…



1295. The Politics of Torture
      When the now-infamous photographs of Iraqi prisoners being sexually humiliated at the hands of U.S. military police were made public, reaction was nearly unanimous: disgust and outrage that the U.S. military were abusing prisoners at the same prison Saddam Hussein used to torture Iraqis. President George W. Bush, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and others in the Bush administration quickly condemned the photographs, with Bush promising an investigation. In his May 15 radio address, Bush sa…



1296. Whose Values Are They Anyway?
      First there was the sight of Janet Jackson's pastie-adorned breast at the Superbowl, then Nicollet Sheridan's towel-dropping scene on Monday Night Football. A public outcry followed, deploring the obsessively sexual orientation of advertising, entertainment, and the media as a whole.As the debates rage, a core question must arise: if sex is known to sell anything, who is doing the buying?Public Relations and marketing gurus give the public what they crave. If they don't, they are out of a job. H…



1297. The Chinese Bin Laden: The terrorist leader China forgot
      On December 15, the People's Republic of China commenced a series of press releases on 'Uygur Terrorism' in which they 'publicly' and for the 'first time' identified Uygur organisations and individuals that they claim to be terrorists. The Uygur are a Turkic/Muslim ethnic group numbering some 7 million who live mainly in the economically and strategically important north western border region known as Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. A Caucasian race and speaking the Turkic language the Uygur h…



1298. When Will the World Wake Up? By Bruce Schwartz
      How can any human being today, anywhere in this world, not be fearful and angry? We have turned into a society where hate is a primary emotion. People are killing people, nations are destroying nations; it's a never ending battle of might over right. Is that magnificent line from Eden Ahbez's song "Nature Boy" no longer what defines us as a civilized society? 'The greatest gift that we can learn is just to love and be loved in return.' It's a great line, a golden rule if ever there was one. It…



1299. Conservation of Water in Big Cities By Lance Winslow
      Water Conservation in larger cities is less of an issue publicly than in smaller cities, yet in reality it is more important in larger cities to conserve to allow smaller cities to exist. This is ironic, however truth because a small city that saves a lot is a mere drop in the bucket to the amount of water a big city can save when each person saves only a small amount, because those little amounts are multiplied by the masses into true water savings.Cities like Phoenix and Las Vegas are reall…



1300. If You Do not Respect Money, You Will Never Have Any By Lance Winslow
      We have all heard folks tell us that the root of all evil is money. Some of us have heard people say follow the money and you will find a felon jelling. These are interesting comments, however if you follow the richest man in the World you will see a foundation, which has given more money than any other in the history of the human species. Thus not only have you found no felon, you have discovered that money can be the root of all things good.You must look at money as a unit of trade to assist…
