Our troops and their generals have to contend with our president and many in Congress who have deliberately diverted billions of dollars from the defense budget. Critical funds for our defense have been siphoned off for President Obama's government stimulus packages, bailout programs and many pork-barrel projects. ...more

The recent interest over President Obama vs. Fox News is really a proxy for the real "war," which pits the bias of conservative news outlets versus traditional journalism. ...more

Whenever I read or hear scare tactics used in the press or letters to the editor, I can easily identify the contributor to the Republican Party. I'm observing their reluctance, or inability to get over their hold on the reins of government leadership. More recently I have noticed they have used their cumulative wealth (or what's left of it) to even encourage public speaking for their Tea Party members. This Tea Party movement was encouraged by Fox TV for their own "entertainment." Yes folks, it is not a coincidence that Fox TV is called "entertainment" instead of a news station. During Busch's presidency, no similar mass effort was made by the Democratic Party out of respect of the presidential office. U.S. citizens should be more conservative of voicing their political opinions.

"Is he gonna turn the switch, or what's he gonna do?" At 9 a.m. Tuesday, the five men in the coffee clatch at McDonald's were manning their usual stations. None planned to go to the Turner Center, where the president's helicopter was supposed to meet a motorcade of a dozen black Suburbans, white government SUVs and local police cars. ...more
