The war supplemental bill should be delivered to him in a flag-draped coffin signifying what this war has cost the American people. Just think of the symbolism if our congress delivered it in that fashion.   more »

I would have loved to have heard more from him. Gravel even chided MSNBC’s, Brian Williams stating, “I feel like a potted plant up here,” To be honest, not enough questions were posed to this candidate, but to the other well known candidates. Again, it is a case of the media selecting who our candidate will be. It should be the people who decide.   more »

I do believe if Al Gore went onto become our president, he would have paid attention to the Hart/Rudman report on terrorism. He would have paid attention to a counter-terrorism expert in Richard Clarke who warned President Bush of the impending threat of al Qaeda. You would not have seen a President Gore fix the intelligence to meet any plans on attacking Iraq.   more »

As many watched the Virginia Tech convocation, we saw President Bush along with the First Lady, Laura Bush in attendance. We heard him speak out of these victims deaths, yet this president has never seen fit to attend one memorial service of any of our fallen soldiers. I guess their deaths mean nothing to him.   more »

Folks, you are free to believe what you will of 9/11 whether or not the government was behind it. But, what I am asking is that any article that comes across your monitor stating that the government was behind 9/11 is to use critical thinking.   more »

Many of us feel powerless when it comes to our concern for our soldiers, yet here is a program in which you can feel powerful. As our troops are deployed for longer tours of duty in which we feel our government is not doing right by them, this is where you can do right by them.   more »

It used to be if there was a major news story, the networks would break into regular programs with breaking news. They did straight reporting of the facts and did not look to dissect the story similar to a science student dissecting a frog in class. When they had nothing else to offer us, they would say, “We now resume normal broadcasting”   more »

Maybe we need a new breed of leadership in Washington, D.C. that can bring both sides to the table in order to make things better for all of us, or maybe we should show our elected leaders by our own willingness to listen.   more »

Oh and we thought that Don Imus was bad in which many cheered of his firing, at least he apologized. This group never does apologize. This group has also picketed the funerals of our dead soldiers; yet where is the country’s outrage in doing so?   more »

Time will go on for those at Virginia Tech in which they will be surrounded by loved ones in order to help them cope with this tragedy of human loss; but who will be there for the innocent Iraqis caught up in a war they did not deserve? Who will comfort them? Who will help them try and make sense of the violence? Are there counselors in place to help them?   more »

Hate does not enrich our souls as well as our bodies. In fact it does the complete opposite. It drains us. Hate is a toxin that consumes every fiber of our bodies and leaves us empty. It can be just as addicting as crack cocaine. So, let us call this negative human emotion, hate, the crack cocaine that many have become addicted to.   more »

All that lost their lives, were wounded and responded to this on behalf of all of us suffered a terror that none of us can even imagine. All are deserving of our prayers. There is real human suffering going on in Virginia and we must all think of them.   more »

How do we as a society come to a consensus of what we find offensive and hateful being that the country is polarized? While many believe if you are going to take off Don Imus, then all must go who have used the same form of vulgarity or hate. But you will have folks who feel the opposite.   more »

In closing, I am not writing this to delve into self-pity, but give you a better understanding of how epileptics have been maligned in the past and poked fun at though the entertainment industry. So, on behalf of the 2.7 million epileptics I am asking for a formal apology by CBS and NBC.   more »

Just suppose one of those brave women on that basket ball team has medical aspirations and someday she goes into oncology; wouldn’t she want someone like Don Imus raising money to help the very evil she is fighting?   more »

Lastly, until any apology is forth coming from Ann Coulter it is my opinion that she does not have the right to add anything further to this debate. Just go away, Ann and leave the rest of America alone. Let us figure out how we can best address this issue without hearing from you.   more »

Any apology if given frequently holds little meaning and sincerity. After a while it becomes just words without feeling behind it. He is not the first and only one, and will not be the last. But, what he said on his radio simulcast pails in comparison to the many demonic rants of Ann Coulter.   more »

Forget the firing of eight U.S. attorneys at the hands of Alberto Gonzales since the actions of one of his judges is more of a threat to all of us. In this war on terror every single senator should grill him on this one specific issue especially when Carriles was convicted of killing 73 innocent people.   more »

Our troops will continue to be sent over into this meat grinder and the will of the people ignored by the president and congress.   more »

In these times we all need an extreme makeover of the soul and spirit as we are assaulted by such hate that is out there. In witnessing these kind acts by others on television, it lends one to cry their heart out in deep appreciation and renewal. In watching this one reality TV show, one does need a box of hankies near them since the tears will flow and flow and flow.   more »

I want to take you back in time when the CIA took someone else out who they saw as a threat to our security as a nation. Although the man that I am about to write of was not a brutal dictator as Saddam Hussein was. He was however thought to be a revolutionary and his name was Ernesto Guevara also known as ‘Che’   more »

I think Geraldo would be wise to get out of the studio more and be out amongst the people. Perhaps he will regain his soul and compassion. At times we are all better when we turn off the idiot box and connect with one another.   more »

I do suppose that many across America especially those families whose loved one continue to serve this country with pride do wish they can have a vacation from President Bush. I do believe they want a president who will bring their loved ones back home to them. Our military deserve a vacation away from Iraq. We owe them that much.   more »

Just maybe this is our way of ending this war. We always speak of grass roots campaigns when it relates to political campaigns, let this be our grass roots campaign to end this war. Our soldiers deserve this and we should be demanding those that still back this war, our soldier’s come first before President Bush and Vice President Cheney.   more »

Well that is me in a nutshell. I want to thank you for taking time to come to my blog and reading what my thoughts are.   more »

As they hugged and kissed good bye to each other they did so with great passion which could not be mirrored in any Hollywood production. She watched as he boarded that plane and was off.   more »

This is no longer about red versus blue, but about red white and blue. We as Americans have had a long history of facing our greatest fears and confronting them head on. During the Cold War, we stared down the Soviet Union and we are going to let a bully president instill fear in all of us?   more »

Supporting our troops means bringing them home period. America, this war on terror in Iraq has already been lost and the sooner you realize it, the better we all shall be. The sooner you realize it, is when our troops do come home.   more »
