Well, well. The NIE has been around since April?

Well, well. The NIE has been around since April?: "Now we know that we have a case, several cases actually, of President George W. Bush lying through his teeth about very substantial matters: connection of Saddam to terrorist groups, WMD’s, necessary troop deployment levels, torture of prisoners, and now this NIE revelation that the President has known for five long months that we are in a losing situation in Iraq. How many U.S. soldiers have died in those five months? Death is a fairly substantial matter, especially to the person doing the dying."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

Islam: You Are Responsible for Your Government, Your Culture, and Your Religion

Islam: You Are Responsible for Your Government, Your Culture, and Your Religion: "Islam: You are responsible for your government. If you do not like what your government does, you are responsible for making the changes that will make you happy. That was what our American Revolution was all about.

Generating the Creative Moment That Conceives the Writing “Egg”

Generating the Creative Moment That Conceives the Writing “Egg”: "If I knew exactly what it is, what causes it, and how to do it, I promise you that I would do it more often. What I do know is that I can see a word, a phrase, a sentence and it triggers an idea that expands like compressed foam. Sometimes it is a mental picture. It is a nanosecond flash of time . From that tiny beginning the rest grows like a mustard plant from a tiny seed. "...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

Fearing God

Fearing God: "As a child I was taught to fear God. I was told to fear God in many ways, most of which were never explained. God was the fearsome unseen force that people talked about every Sunday. I never understood why I didn’t ever see God. Other people talked about seeing God, or at least seeing the light of God. I never understood why I didn’t hear that much about God on other days of the week, especially if He was that frightening and around all the time. "...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

It Only Takes One To Make A War

It Only Takes One To Make A War: "Just like on the school playground, or between nations, in matters religious it only takes one to make a fight. It seems clear that Muslims world wide have no interest in good relations between the world’s great religions. How far the mighty have fallen. Once the best of the best in creative expression of reason and thought, Islam has driven reason into a slime pit. When recognition of a desire for world wide religious domination is taken into consideration, this makes a kind of sense. Islam, emboldened by coffers fattened on oil money, is determined to pick a fight."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

Ugly Truth: Well ! Isn’t That Interesting? World War Three Is Coming.

Ugly Truth: Well ! Isn’t That Interesting? World War Three Is Coming.: "I am surely not alone in noting with interest the angry response from around the Muslim world to Pope Benedict’s recent remarks about Islam and violence. I think that they protest too much. I think that they can see the justification for such comments. Even they can see that the continual and escalating violence around the world initiated by adherents of the Islamic faith engenders this belief. This makes them feel uncomfortable. It should. No one wants to hear the truth when it is said about themselves."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

Rational Resolution of the Iraqi Problem

Rational Resolution of the Iraqi Problem: "Iraq. We broke it. We own it. That is understandable. After that the problem is so complex that it is difficult to apply sound reasoning to the problem of finding a replacement for a strongman (Saddam) form of government for Iraq."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

“Stay The Course” Really Means Using Our Troops As Live Bait

“Stay The Course” Really Means Using Our Troops As Live Bait: "“W’s” apologists just don’t get it. “W” has been in office for six long years. He is the one responsible for what happens, or does not happen during his watch. The constant blame game and trying to lay off “W’s” failures on former President Bill Clinton are readily seen for the Loser’s Limp it has always been."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

When Torture Is AOK?

When Torture Is AOK?: "It has been interesting to watch the Conservative commentators and “talking heads” on TV this week. They are obviously trying not to swallow the bitter bile of erosion of Conservative Principles and personal freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution under their erstwhile leader President George W. Bush. This erosion, and a growth of a more powerful executive, is exactly the kind of behavior that would have been expected of Liberals playing fast and loose with the Constitution. No wonder that so many Republicans running in tight races have been edging as far away from the President as possible. Even Republicans don’t believe him any more."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...

God, What Do You Want? Part 1

God, What Do You Want? Part 1: "The problem with the examination of the God-Man relationship is that only one side of the relationship is available to us for study. Everything we think we know about God is our idea. Everything about our relationship to Him is based on underlying assumptions, speculations, history, belief, faith, hope, and fear. Man(kind) cannot ever “know” God except in terms that are understandable to us as human beings."...(Click title link to see entire article.)...
