Eugenics: An American Tragedy
Originally posted on Expats Post
Not long ago I sat down and turned on the TV to catch up on the latest in politics. What I saw instead was a riveting interview by CNN correspondent Anderson Cooper with professor and author, Paul A. Lombardo, who discussed his 2008 book, Three Generations: No Imbeciles. While I make no claims to being an …
Romney Returns to “Good Old Days” of Russian-Bashing
If there was ever any doubt about Mitt Romney’s dangerously naive understanding of U.S. foreign policy, look no further than a statement he made last week about Russia. During an interview on CNN’s “The Situation Room”, Romney described Russia as America’s primary enemy, or its chief “geopolitical foe”. This statement may, in fact, have been true thirty years ago during …
Citizen Cain? Herman Revealed
Let us forget for a moment that I believe Herman Cain is a womanizer who has been accused of sexual harassment. Let us forget for a moment that Herman Cain wants to protect our southern border with an electric fence in his comprehensive immigration reform, which is a total disregard of human life. Today let us contemplate whether Herman Cain …
Bachmann Claims No Respect From Media!
The presidential campaign of Michelle Bachmann, the one-time favorite of the Republican Tea Party faction, seems to be unraveling at a rapid pace. Meanwhile, the Bachmann campaign is moaning and complaining that their candidate is being disrespected by the media, and being unfairly dismissed as “irrelevant.” The truth of the matter is that Bachmann is, in fact, being disrespected by …
Tweet Today and Make Your Voices Heard!
Staying connected through Social Media almost an imperative these days. The real-time gathering of information is astounding, and Twitter is an amazing venue that has changed our global inter-action. There are times when I Tweet snarky replies, and other times when the issue being addressed is important and needs due consideration. Either way it is an exceptional tool for communicating …
When Trump Speaks, Obama Rises in The Polls
Just about any day that presidential-hopeful, Donald Trump, opens his mouth is a good day for the Democrats, and a bad day for the Republicans, who have shown no ability to reign in Mr. Trump’s extremist, political positions. By almost any measurement, yesterday was a good day for the Democrats. Buoyed by a surge in the polls over the last …
Egyptian Uprisings Will Soon be Forgotten
In all likelihood, the results of Egypt’s uprising, whether it be the toppling of Mubarak’s government or a bloody repression at the hands of the army, will have “little to no” impact on the lives of anyone living outside the region, including the United States. The same hold true for both Yemen and Jordan.
Cheaters, Cheaters, Everywhere and Not A Thought to Think
I guess what got me started on this issue was the latest gossip about Brett Favre supposedly sexting. Now, maybe he did and maybe he didn’t, but let’s face it, this guy can’t make up his mind. He’s retiring, no, he’s back. Oh, he retired again and came back. Oops, retired sort of but decided to come back this year.
Michael Steele Has Issues
You could not watch this interview between CNN’s John King and RNC Chairman Michael Steele without scratching your head at this Black man who seemingly condones race-baiting, particularly from Newt Gingrich. Is this a man who is playing to the “birthers” or does he have a problem with his own self-image? Perhaps it is a case of transference to President …
A Call to Gulf Residents: Send Us Your Impact Stories
So much has happened to our brothers and sisters in the Gulf region. We hear stories, snippets on the news, but do we truly relate to how devastating this BP oil spill has been to those individuals and businesses in the Gulf region? I am asking that anyone there who is willing to share their story do so here. They …
