“A Silicon Valley lawmaker is gaining momentum with a bill that would require ‘climate change’ to be among the science topics that all California public school students are taught,” according to a recent story in the Mercury News. The measure would also “mandate that future science textbooks approved for California public schools include climate change.”
“You [...]

At first glance, “A Strong National Identity” may appear out of place in a list of core values. However, all great nations have been built as citizens coalesced around the idea of national purpose. Devotion to “this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England” transcended Shakespeare’s King Richard II, becoming a de facto national motto propelling the British [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day! Imagine…an entire day set aside to celebrate love. Guys like Valentine’s Day more than we let on, as it affords us an opportunity for redemption and reconciliation. Men, if you haven’t yet purchased the gift and made dinner reservations, there is still time, but step on it. Forgetting Valentine’s Day, or her Birthday, Christmas, or [...]

“In regard to the debate over the death penalty, I have an idea that might put the whole issue of cruel and unusual punishment into perspective. I say we give the convicted murderers a choice.

Americans are privileged above all people. Never in mankind’s turbulent history have so many enjoyed so much. First and foremost, we are a free people, each citizen a valued member of a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” Political debate is vigorous, even acrimonious, yet political power changes hands peacefully and cooperatively. Military coups [...]
The headlines appeared in peculiar juxtaposition. “Pelosi calls Iraq a failure…surge was a bust” was immediately followed by “al Qaeda in Iraq in ‘total collapse’ say seized letters.” You’ve got to love Matt Drudge’s sense of irony.
Of course, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was not the first to declare defeat in Iraq, a distinction belonging to Senate Majority [...]

“Tens of thousands of American Air Force and naval airmen were waterboarded as part of their survival training,” said a senior U.S. intelligence official, according to the LA Times. Lo and behold, the U.S. military “has subjected its own personnel to the method to prepare them for the possibility of being captured.” Putting the lie [...]

Well, blow me down. Mitt Romney, heavyweight champion of investment finance, Winter Olympic management, and Massachusetts politics has thrown in the towel. Who would have thunk it?
Just scant months ago, John McCain “was barely viable, out of cash and losing staff,” according to the AP. Now, all he must do to be the Republican candidate in November [...]

Putting on a brave face, Governor Mitt Romney last night promised “We’re going all the way to the convention and we’re going to win this thing, and we’re going to go to the White House.” Who’s writing the Governor’s speeches, John Edwards? Romney will attend the convention, no doubt seated in a prominent place, to watch John [...]

There is no good news about the President’s proposed budget, and for once media outlets are innocent in the matter. Federal spending is at a crisis point as deficits and debt explode, and neither political party has what it takes to forestall the approaching fiscal meltdown. “Republicans and Democrats are in complete denial on these issues,” [...]
