MissingAmerica
I'm a senior who has seen and done a lot. I used to wish wisdom had come at an earlier age, but I realized that I am the sum total of my experiences. I chose to improve, and I did.
The one difficulty I'm having in my growth is understanding how our political and economic climate could have gone so far astray from what it was. I want to know at what moment we ceased to be able to sleep with the windows and doors open, or enjoy nature without fear of attack. What we one considered normal is now considered foolhardy.
I want America back, and I will continue to voice my opinion. After all, age has one other huge advantage besides wisdom and senior discounts. I can speak the truth as I see it. They used to say crazy, now they say senile. I don't care what they call it, I'm still going to say it.
Peace is more powerful, and peace is a choice. We need leadership in this country that remembers that.

The Flip Side Of Dem Victories: A Widening Ideological Divide
This is supposed to be about what is best for America. This is supposed to be about upholding the Constitution and preserving a government of, by and for the people with freedom for all. What is so tough about that? Perhaps we should stop the "ideological differences" and just think of America as a whole. posted 05/17/2008 at 20:48:26

US Blamed For Ambush On Iranians In Iraq
Take a look at Bush. He studies ancient wars and tries to be another Napoleon. Problem is, we're in the nuclear age. His arrogance and ignorance is costing far too much. Man's destiny is up to man. It's sad that the majority of the people want peace, but we have a leader who continues to direct us into war. American people have a conscience, and if you look at history, you will see that in 2000 and 2004, indications are that we didn't elect him either time. We got stuck in the middle of the Bush/Cheney/Rove corruption. May it end soon, and may we all live in peace again. posted 05/17/2008 at 16:52:29

Bush fails to win Saudi help on gas prices
Bush had a long time to do this; no doubt, this was a last grand gesture. As with everything else he's done, it was a dismal failure.

GOP House Leaders Disrespect American Flag
I'm still amazed that they can focus on a flag pin while thousands of our bravest are dying in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan. It seems to me that the war, a tanking economy, massive foreclosures, disaster areas untouched, high gas and grocery prices, etc., should be far more important than a flag pin. Guess this article goes to show that all it is for the GOP is a distraction to keep from facing the real issues. posted 05/16/2008 at 18:32:27

Supposedly, we have been electing those with knowledge, experience and background.

Fed's Direct Loans To Banks Climb To Record Level
If this isn't a bandaid with cheap adhesive, I don't know what is? First, it's not the bankers that need the money -- it's the homeowners. An example. I know one young family that was forced to move because his job took a great deal of commuting and the gas was too expensive. They put their house on the market for $20,000 less than appraised. Then Bush signed into law a $7,000 break for those who purchased either new homes or foreclosures. This left this young couple in the middle. An investor offered them cash -- at $100,000 LESS THAN APPRAISED! They rejected the offer and are praying that something will happen. This is only one example of what people are going under this dismal leadership we've had.
As for the banks, the government bails them out and they don't learn. A tv ad yesterday: "Want to buy a home, but don't have the money? Think you can't afford the payments? We'll help you get into a home with little or no money down. Poor credit? We can work with you. Now you can own the home of your dreams." This is what started this in the first place! He's only giving them enough money to hold them over until they do the same damn thing.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. When do we impeach the fools we have in Washington? When do we put some real leaders in the White House? posted 05/16/2008 at 08:34:28

John McCain: Obama Unfit To Protect The United States
One more thing to get off my chest. Mr. McCain would have us believe that it is diplomacy and terrorism killing our brave soldiers in the Middle East. This is Bush thinking. What has been proven to be killing our soldiers and so many more is Bush's illegal war against, and continued occupation of, a country which was no threat to us. As for terrorism, one insane act by a madman in the Middle East that killed over 2,000 was just that, an insane act of a madman. Bush responded with arrogance and now over 4,000 of ours are dead, not to mention the millions of Iraqis who can no longer walk the streets, who can no longer walk, who can no longer BREATHE, who don't even have streets or homes anymore. That is what the GOP have done. And terrorism has increased by more than 70% around the world due to the arrogant response.
No, thank you, Mr. McCain. It is time to stop fighting and start talking. posted 05/16/2008 at 08:48:03

McCain's comment is arrogant and ignorant, which shows we would simply have this lunatic administration for another four years. If someone calls Israel names and threatens it, to a sane person that would say that something has been done to really ruffle their feathers! That's when you should sit down and discuss the problem. Diplomacy is much more useful than bombs, and much safer.
We have had enough of the fearmongering and insane ignorance of the GOP. Actually, doesn't he get that if he threatens those who would talk against Israel, he is no different to them than is Israel? Good grief! We've already alienated the entire free world, and fueled the fire even more with even those who were once our allies. posted 05/16/2008 at 08:41:39

While it may be difficult to negotiate with one who has no fear, as you have noted, they have no fear because they wish to be martyrs, which means they revere the afterlife more than this one. If their greatest good is dying fighting us, wouldn't you agree that it makes no sense to put the gun in their hands and challenge them to a duel? It's a standoff.
Ever watch the old westerns? The enemy is on the hill, just waiting, nothing happening. Someone fires a gun and the enemy attacks with blood in their eyes and no concern for the lives lost.

First, who is he to declare what is right or wrong? His decisions and actions have destroyed this country and impacted the global community. He lied to wage war against Iraq, when all he truly wanted was to control the oil.
He refers to the "false comfort of appeasement" when speaking of Hitler. Hitler was a madman who wanted power and did not have the mental capacity to reason. Bush's actions would indicate that he is personally acquainted with this subject. He is arrogant, and his foolish actions have proven that he has no right to determine what is right or wrong.
He repeatedly refers to the people in this country as fascists when we fail to agree with him. When it comes to delusion, Bush holds the title. As for being discredited by history, we all know that he has already won that title. All we can do is hope and pray that no one ever beats this record! posted 05/15/2008 at 09:51:57

Union Leaders' Clash Over Dem Endorsements A Sign Of Racial Polarization
This election MUST be about what is right for the party, regardless of race or gender. We need a leader who can unite and heal this country, while being of a character which will redeem us in the eyes of the world. Also, lest they forget, Obama is mixed race. Years ago I had a friend who was of mixed race. He said that he loved it, because even though he looked black, his birth certificate could show he was white. He said he couldn't suffer discrimination because he was one of each! Maybe we should look at Obama that way. Would they find it easier to accept this exceptional man if his skin were lighter?

Median Home Prices Drop In Many Cities
Investors are taking advantage of homeowners who need to sell for various reasons.

My children have to move because the cost of commuting is too much, and if they want out, they will lose anywhere from $50,000 to $75,000 on the deal. My son commented that he had always been told that a home was a good investment. I told him it was until George Bush decided to sink everything this country has into Iraq.

China Earthquake, Florida Fires, US Tornadoes, Burma Cyclone Ravage The Angry Earth
The Chinese really said it in one sentence. A representative was touring a devastated area and was reassuring the people not to give up. In the same breath with which he said they should not give up hope yet, he said, "We still have buildings, and we can rebuild the manufacturing plants to be better than before." It seems they care more about "their" manufacturing than they do about the toll in human lives. It seems this would be a great time to bring the American corporations back to America where they can get their old manufacturing plants back.

Clinton Mentor: Hillary Failed To Master Female Approach
Personally, it has nothing to do with any failure to run as a woman; it's her failure to run as a loyal Democrat and a true American. She voted on the Iraq war, but I can forgive that as a lot of people were duped by the Bush camp. What lost me to her was her willingness to turn on her own party by, first, stating she and the Republican nominee were the only two qualified to lead this country, when clearly the Republican nominee has proven to be anything but a good choice for a new direction we so desperately need. Second, when it was discovered that her claims about her Bosnia trip were verifiably untrue, she attempted to deflect attention by bringing up the old distraction, once again going against her party.
She has turned into a GOP, and that is why she has lost my vote. If I had always been for Obama, and he had been the one to do this, he, too, would have lost my vote. It's about what is best for America, and I'm not so sure that Hillary is. posted 05/13/2008 at 10:53:57

These bodies served a purpose in life, and deserve respect in death. The loved one may live in ones heart, and the spirit may have left this earthly body. But this is about respect for the ultimate sacrifice.

Clinton's Open Letter To Obama On MI and FL
Hillary lost me when she made the comment that she and McCain were the only two qualified candidates for the presidency. It stands to reason that if Obama were not qualified, he would not be running, nor would he be in front!
She again distanced herself when she "misspoke" about her visit to Bosnia and, when proven to have been less than truthful, chose to join those who began using Wright as a distraction, despite Obama's having explained the situation eloquently and thoroughly.
Now she is going against the DNC ruling because she thinks this could save her. What happened in Florida and Michigan is unfortunate but, bottom line, it was also illegal. This country seems to forget that illegal means "against the law."
The United States of America has become anything but. It's time to reunite and heal this country. If you love this country as much as you say, it's time to show this country how much you love it -- live by the rules and knock off the bitterness. Please become a part of the solution and stop being a part of the problem. posted 05/08/2008 at 22:15:27

While I respect her desire for privacy, the fact remains that her husband is running for the highest office in the land, and he is sharing her money. In these days when corruption is so rampant in politics, we Americans have a right to ask full disclosure from our candidates and officials. It would be far too easy to hide money in her account. If she wants full privacy, it is McCain's duty to either abide by the disclosure laws, or withdraw from the race. If they have nothing to hide, they will obey the law. posted 05/08/2008 at 21:44:35

Now he sees that Obama will most likely be the candidate and in his mind, no man of color should hold any public position.

Once again, politics trump humanity. The arrogance of the leaders these days is appalling.

McCain's Rough Night Overshadowed By Clinton's
Perhaps McCain should take this as a sign that we do not need more government, we need a more responsible government. We do not want to regress to the days of the back-alley abortionist. We do not a country where the women are looked down upon and considered to be nothing more than a breeder, a productive possession. We want equal pay for equal jobs, and we want our own choice in how we choose to exercise our faith or not. Moreover, we want to return to a peaceful country, with our money returned to our school system and our scientific laboratories. We want to be in charge of our own destiny, and that means returning manufacturing and jobs to this country. That means no more taking money from our current landlord, The Peoples' Republic of China. In other words, Mr. McCain, take this as a sign that we want America BACK! posted 05/07/2008 at 09:13:24

It seems our founding fathers were so much wiser.
Faith is best served on an individual basis, with each person choosing how to think and live, rather than a government telling us what is "right" or "wrong". The Middle East is an example of the perfect storm when sectarian theocracies rule a people.
We must think for ourselves, rather than elect another religious-based administration. We have had "religious" rule for nearly 8 years. What we have is a killing field in the Middle East, a crumbling infrastructure, weakened education system, violence and widespread poverty -- much like the Middle East. Take America away from the religious and return it to the Americans. posted 05/06/2008 at 10:12:41

Post-War Veteran Suicides May Exceed Combat Deaths: U.S.
This is such a sad situation, and certainly another area of this insane war which Bush never even thought about. The in-and-out scenario he pictured when he decided to conquer a foreign country has proven to be devastating on all of humanity, and most certainly our troops and their families. Bush has sent these brave people to die for this country; he should have prepared to take care of them on the slight chance that they would live.
Having used his family and money to escape serving in a war zone, he has no idea what it is to suffer the hardships associated with the inhumanity of war. He prefers to convert democracy to a barbaric culture, as our troops give up their lives for democracy.
It is time to end this insane bloodshed and bring our troops home. Before Bush, we were all about humanitarian efforts, and I pray I live to see the day when America earns back that respect which we have lost through this administration's madness. We must impeach. Sadly, we must do so through a Congress that has forgotten this option.

Thank you for writing about this. I noticed the headlines in the newspaper this morning proclaiming Big Brown's victory, with nothing about this terrible accident.
I watched an interview on You Tube with the owner of Eight Belles, telling how many races she'd won, including how many recently. I had to wonder how he could have felt comfortable with putting this filly in any race.
Having spent most of my life around horses, I know that, as a two-year old, their bones are still thin and fragile. Even the famous Lippizaners are not trained until they are at least five, and they do not show until the age of 7, because of the strenuous nature and the massive weight.
To run a two-year old that hard was inviting this tragedy. It's so sad that valueing the horse has taken a back seat to raising the value of a horse. God speed to Eight Belles, who no doubt is now running painlessly through greener pastures. posted 05/05/2008 at 00:27:26

Further, if you want him to have coverage, why not give him a spot on a religious network so you can constantly add clips to YouTube?

It's time to end this insanity. Bring them home and go to Iraq simply as humanitarians, a side of us that Bush hasn't shown them. posted 05/02/2008 at 18:13:44
