Why Progressive Politics Are Supremely American
There are many people in America who refer to some political stances as "un-American." The question becomes, by what standard?
America is not a nation that was ever designed to live in a time warp. It is a nation that was intended to grow and develop continuously. And... Republicans: A Party of Lies
Three years ago, a columnist wrote that President Obama should "go gangsta" on GOP for its obstructionist tactics and its lies to the people.
Obama may or may not go gangsta on GOP, but I will.
What many people do not understand is that the Republican Party is the party... Which government is truly best?
It is often repeated in Republican circles that "that government is best which governs the least." When a private citizen says such a thing, there's nothing wrong with it; but when a political candidate says this, it is suspicious. Why is it suspicious? Well, for one, what is... Keynesian Economics, GDP and Debt
The failure of Keynesian economics can be traced to a single error. GDP is seen as the singular measure of economic strength and well-being, which it is not. GDP measures consumption; and it's no secret that consumption can be made to rise through all sorts of unsound and... Class Warfare Accusations and Rational Taxation Policies
Many in the anti-tax movement believe that taxes on higher incomes is "class warfare" or "punishing success." In fact, it is simple rationality. These people are wealthy enough that they can afford to pay a slightly higher tax. Whereas for people who do not have what they... Newt Gingrich: Instability or Hypocrisy?
In a recent TV appearance, Newt Gingrich had a fall and had to be taken to the hospital after someone asked him if he was stable enough to be US President.
Normally, I would never say anything about something like that. However we are dealing with Republicans, who have a... Why Debt Matters and Who Is Its Source
During the Bush administration, when America accumulated $6 trillion in debt, with a Republican Congress and White House, at a time that there was absolutely no need for it and before the baby boomers had even started to retire, a Republican commentator stated that Reagan had... Diplimatic and Military Solutions
One frequent claim made about Clinton is that he stood for America's weakness.Nothing could be further from the truth. Clinton stood for win-win scenarios. Hewanted Americans, in all the different states of America, to do well, and that included the people in the South who... Bushonomics: True Reason for Meltdown

The Boston Globe ran a chart last Sunday that I’d buy billboard space to reproduce in every decent-size city in America, if I were running the... Achieve growth and fiscal sanity. Restore Clintonomics.
All around the country, Republican candidates are running on the platform of cutting taxes. One often repeated claim is that cutting taxes has always created prosperity. That is the biggest lie.
The last time the taxes were cut was under Bush. The Bush tax cuts for highest... Not 1967 Israel border!
Fox News indicated that Obama said explicitly that Israel must return to the 1967 borders. That is not the case. What he said was that there must be some land swapping as part of the negotiations. The most hotly... Why Progressive Policies are Supremely American
There are many people in America who refer to some political stances as "un-American." The question becomes, by what standard?
America is not a nation that was ever designed to live in a time warp. It is a nation that was intended to grow and develop continuously. And it has... The Mouths that Roared
The line in the story is “the month that roared.” But, I feel somehow that Obama roared this month and so did Hillary. They acted forcefully in response to Qaddafi and they have been aggressive on the... Here’s another fine mess
This time, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tipped the scales in favor of joining the international coalition to impose a “no-fly” zone in Libya that appears to be a “no move” zone by Gadahfi’s troops... PM Fayyad criticizes US "extortion": "Our rights are not for sale
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced a $150-million grant to the Palestinian Authority four months ago, raising the 2010 total to nearly $600 million. She said that US aid "underscores the strong determination of the American people and this Administration to... NowPublic on Facebook
