Obama's attack in Libya is as ill advised and mismanaged as his Afghanistan surge or his domestic stimulus-spending circus. Without the approval of the US Congress, President Obama sent 110 Tomahawk Missiles into Libya. President Obama's claimed political goals were to force Gaddafi out of power. His words mean little,...

International Woman's Day: From then to now who is the 21st Century American Woman?

Observing women's history, it has been a battlefield over ideas, sex, and gender equality. From the early years of the American republic until now, women continually find themselves pornified, objectified, and facing dual standards.

Until...

Glenn Beck's attacks against the patriotic group IAVA are beyond odious, his remarks are simply unpatriotic. Taking after Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin: Glenn Beck is perhaps the most vitriolic television voice in the conservative media. Yet, instead of defending Veterans, Beck has descended to new levels, and...

Recently, the Karzai-Taliban Peace talks has gained significant press coverage.

Yet few stories tell anyone how the peace process occurs, and what is a likely timetable of peace negotiations.

Only a few men on the planet know the answers, and almost none of those men are...

Observing the relationship between the American and Afghan soldiers is rough, ugly, and beautiful all at the same time.

Both American and Afghan men deploy into combat zones. Collectively, they spend weeks at a time without showers, yet they continue to fight. Thus far, the Americans have performed courageously. Many...

Between the Crusades, the Great Schism, the Thirty Years' War, the Spanish Inquisition, the Salem Witch Trials, and the Christian genocide of Native Americans, Christianity has plenty of black eyes to go around. Yet no major event of the past overshadows the rag-tag heresies of our time. Even...

On August 31, 2010, President Obama declared the "end of our combat mission in Iraq." President Obama said, "Like all Americans, I am awed by [U.S. troops'] sacrifice, and by the sacrifices of their families."

What were those "sacrifices"?

As I reflect on my time as a Marine...

Americans need to send a sarcastic thank you to the Pentagon for their gifts of unwarranted war propaganda. Whether you are an anti-war activist or a pro-Afghan war cheerleader, everyone needs to be aware of our collective canard.

The war gag is over. The truth curtain has fallen. The...

As I have been watching the hearings for Elena Kagan, I am growing more frustrated by the day. At the outset of the nomination, several antagonists made obscene remarks against President Obama's nomination. However, not a single comment has been as worrisome as Pete Hegseth's.

I have watched...

Recently, General McChrystal blasted President Obama for his handling of the Afghanistan War.

Why?

President Obama has given Gen. McChrystal exactly what he asked for. Contrary to right wing information spin, indeed President Obama has made a "quick and timely" decision giving the General exactly what he requested. General McChrystal...

In honor of Veterans Day, I ask all of you to contemplate the sacrifices of our soldiers and listen to them. If President Obama were considering these sacrifices and hearing their voices, he would not escalate troops in Afghanistan.

Military escalation is not the solution. More...
