Thinking Right and Left

It is a poor sort of man who is content to be spoon-fed knowledge that has been filtered through the canon of religious or political belief,and it is a poor sort of man who will permit others to dictate what he may or may not learn.

Terrror Trials in New York

Should Isreal Declare It's Nukes ?

President Obama: The Audacity of Hope

I would also argue that we have the right to take unilateral military action to eliminate an imminent theart to our security-so long as an imminent threat is understood to be a nation,group,or individual that is actively preparing to strike U.S.targets{or allies with which the United States has mutual defense agreements],and has or will have the means to do so in the immediate future.Al Qaeda qualifies under this standard,and we can and should carry out preemptive strikes against them whenever we can.

President Obama--The Audacity of Hope

The more credible the information that the International Atomic Energy Agency provides,the more likely we are to mobilize allies against the efforts of rogue states to obtain nuclear weapons.The greater the capacity of the World Health Organization,the less likely we are to have to deal with a flu pandemic in our own country.No country has a bigger stake than we do in strengthening international institutions--which is why we pushed for their creation in the first place,and why we need to take the lead in improving them

President Obama--The Audacity of Hope

Looming perhaps largest of all was Ronald Ragan,whose clarity about communism seemed matched by his blindness regarding other sources of misery in the world.The more I studied nuclear arms policy,the more I found Star Wars to be ill conceived; the chasm between Reagan's soaring rhetoric and the tawdry Iran-Contra deal left me speechless.

President Obama: The Audacity Of Hope

What's troubling is the gap between the magnitude of our challenges and the smallness of our politics-the ease with which we are distracted by the petty and trivial,our chronic avoidance of tough decisions,our seeming inability to build a working consensus to tackle any big problem.

Sen.Ted Kennedy-RIP

AG Eric Holder--- Torture Investigation

Attorney General Eric Holder has selected a special proscutor to investigate torture.The only question that needs to be asked is this.Is torture illegal under U.S.law.The answer is yes!! T.L.Warren.

President Obama: Gets the blame for release of Pam AM bomber

Relatives and Republicans blame the President for the release of the lone terrorist for the Pam Am bombing over twenty years ago.Convicted in Scotland and held in prison there for over twenty years and released for compassionate reasons.Never the less the President is receiving criticism.Go figure. T.L.Warren

Dreams from My Father

Throughout my years in Springfield I had clung to the notion that politics could be different,and that the voters wanted something different,that they were tired of distortion,name-calling,and soundbite solutions to complicated problems;that if I could reach those voters directly,frame the issues as I felt them,explain the choices in as truthful a fashion as I knew how,then the people's instincts for fair play and common sense would bring them around.If enough of us took that risk,I thought,not only the country's politics but the country's policies would change for the better. President Obama

Mike Vick--Signed by NFL Eagles

Good move for Eagles and Micheal Vick. T.L.Warren

The Audacity of Hope

We know that the battle against international terrorism is at once an armed struggle and a contest of ideas,that our long-term security depends on both a judicious projection of military power and increased cooperation with other nations,and that addressing the problems of global poverty and failed states is vital to our nation's interests rather than just a matter of charity.But follow most of our foreign policy debates,and you might believe that we have only two choices-belligerence or isolationism. President Obama

Rep.Hank Johnson-D, Health Reform Meeting

Dreams from My Father

Still,I am not immune to distress.And like most Americans,I find it hard to shake the feeling these days that our democracy has gone seriously awry. President Barack Obama.

To The Critics Of Recovery Act

I am responsible for the economy as the President,but I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking.I want them to get out of the way so we can clean the mess up. President Obama at fund raiser in Virginia.

The Audacity of Hope

What is most troubling is the gap between the magnitude of our challenges and the smallness of our politics-the ease with which we are distracted by the petty and trivial,our chronic avoidance of tough decisions,our seeming inability to build a working consensus to tackle any big problem. President Barack Obama
