State and local government response on immigrants?

The flood of illegal immigrants is reportedlybeing transported by Federal agents andcontractors across state lines, and Obama has saidhe’ll continue to rule by Executive Order–you cansue him. Will a new trend be governors and localsheriffs resisting with the “you can sue me”policy? Sheriffs can arrest drivers for crossingstate lines in commission of a crime (that beingtrafficing)? How about a governor...

Blame “I Don’t Care”

Not too long ago, American citizens of all races, creeds and colors had the deportment of a significantly more dignified human species. They were proud of themselves and proud to be Americans. That mega-trend has been reversed. It took more than two generations, but we have come to the point where many Americans — too many — have lost their...

Look at the top. Your political and corporate leaders may be well dressed enough, but the downward spiral of their collective moral character has brought them epic lows.

It is estimated that by the year 2025 that number will double, and most of the male and female population by that time can expect to live to 84 and 86 respectively....

Bogeymen, terrorists and evil doers

Only a madman would speak such words. Only frightened people would believe them. And believe they did. Scared to death, Americans were dumbstruck with terror. Addressing the nation on the evening of 9/11, the newly elected president, George W. Bush, said: “America was targeted for attack … because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world.” Nine...
