I believe this violates the intent of the Constitution. Senator Harry Reid may believe he successfully wrested Presidential nominee filibuster power from the minority Republicans, but the day will come when the Democrats will be in the minority and the Republicans will be able to assert the “nuclear option.” I do not like it no…

We have lost so much blood and treasure, it is time to completely extricate ourselves from Afghanistan. We could spend decades there and nothing would change. There is a tribal and sectarian religious battle going on and the Afghani people need to sort it out amongst themselves. Afghanistan would love us to stay and build…

The sanctions are obviously working and our policy should be to keep the pressure on Iran so they are forced to comply with our requirements to permit our inspection of their nuclear facilities. Now is not the time to back off the pressure. Our foreign policy shows our weakness to our foes and allies alike. …

More people will be dropped from their policies as they come up for renewal in 2014. The next to lose their health care will be those who get their health care through their employers. Corporations will looks at the numbers and realize it is more affordable to offer their employees raises and let them arrange…

I do not understand how anyone can respect or take the “Reverend” Jesse Jackson, Sr. seriously about anything. He has used racism, black liberation theology, and social justice his entire life to gain personal fame and reward. The truth is the Republicans have done more for African-Americans throughout history, from the Black Republican Party (as…
