Articles: Is The White House Bent on Permanently Destroying the Republican Party?
Region: United States
Is President Barack Obama a political genius? Or does he have his own 'Turd Blossom' hidden somewhere in the White House? Could it possibility be the innocuous looking David Alexrod? Consider the nomination of Chuck Hagel. A Republican, military vet, white male from the Farm Belt whose confirmation hearing has ignited the 'mother of all food fights' in the Republican Party. The internationalist/neocon wing of the party is attacking the character and competence of a f... more

Region: New York
President Obama is a great communicator and strategist, but he is not a great negotiator. His handling of the fiscal cliff is a case in point. With respect to gun control, again, unfortunately, President Obama, a man I respect and admire, has set himself up for a suboptimal outcome. He needs to re-watch the movie Lincoln to get a sense of how hard you have to push to change something as big as the American Constitution. When Mr. Obama says that 'there must be some room between ... more

Last week's mass murder of 20 kindergarteners in Newtown, Connecticut was America's wake-up call on gun violence. Without a gun, the perpetrator could not have killed 20 kids before he would have been stopped by the six heroic women caring for them. Without two semi-automatic pistols and an assault rifle, he could have killed so many so quickly. The gun, as the ultimate force multiplier, is equally to blame for the crime with the human perpetrator. Guns will never be proper... more

Region: District of Columbia
The Supreme Court overturned a 32 year-old law banning the sale of guns in Washington D.C. today. In a 5-4 decision, the Courts ruled that a complete ban on the sale of guns, which had been the law in the District of Columbia since 1976, infringes upon Second Ammendment rights. The case, District of Columbia v. Heller, is the first Supreme Court case to interpret the second ammendment in 70 years. In his 64-page opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia said that "a complete prohibition... more

Dobbs Ferry, New York The Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments about the meaning of the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Does it mean that an individual can only bear arms in the context of a well regulated militia or does it mean that individual has a general right to bear firearms? F... more

Dobbs Ferry, February 17, 2008, President's Day Another senseless act of gun violence torn out the heart of America last week. A lone gunman opened fire at Northern Illinois University and killed five innocent students, wounding 7 others. It is reported that the gunman didn't know any of the deceased or wounded and was not settling a grudge. The gunman apparently had stopped taking his medication and started acting eratically. In the view of this author, the gunman's ... more

Dobbs Ferry, New York We had another bloody week in America, filled with senseless gun violence. It is time for local government to stand up and say, "enough is enough". The Federal Government has clearly been co-opted by gun interests. The military does not dare challenge its gun-toting veterans, though it clearly understands the risk of guns in the hands of traumized and well-trained killers.. The Supreme Court is just about to re-write history ... more
