Immigration Reform: Some Signs it is Getting Closer

Many cities and different groups are calling for immigration reform and suggesting legal status for the illegal immigrants who are here now. They are admitting that they can't all be found and deported. Border security and immigration reform will solve the problem. Congress should do something soon.

Campaigning For Another Party Reprehensible

It is political season, and incumbents will try anything to save their jobs. This year, unfortunately, is just another example of politicians stopping at nothing to win their re-elections. There are several races in this year’s election where a third party candidate could steer the election results in one direction or the other. One perverse example is the Pennsylvania senatorial campaign between Republican Sen. Rick Santorum and Democratic challenger Bob Casey.

The Chirping Rubble

What can our elected officials in Washington learn from the chirping of emergency locators buried in the World Trade Center on 9/11? A whole lot about America as it turns out!

Globalisation Between Promotion And Demotion - A Look Into The Phenomenon Of Immigration

Big Bother Scenario Gets Ever Closer

At the moment in the UK we have an ongoing debate about recycling. In particular the recycling of our household rubbish. We are reaching that point where Local Government Authorities are to be fined for not meeting their recycling targets. The councils are not getting the blame for this but the householders. The householders are being told that they are not recycling according to Council instructions. The debate going on is how to encourage a greater awareness amongst us to recycle. This debate is moving towards forcing people to recycle

Israel's Minimalist War

Israel failed to destroy Hezbollah as a fighting force because the Israeli government failed to adhere to the concept of total war. Despite preparations for an all-out assault into Lebanon, the Israelis limited their actions to border skirmishes and minimalist raids. As a result, they failed to accomplish their war objectives.

Profiling Potential Terrorists

Airport security resources are stretched too thin to waste time conducting random searches of people we know are not terrorists. Instead of being politically correct and searching little old ladies at airports, we should focus our efforts on military-aged Muslim males of Middle Eastern descent.

Near-Term Prospects for a Lebanon-Israel Peace Treaty

On Sunday, August 20, 2006, Lebanon's Prime Minister Fouad Siniora suggested that Israel, if it 'behaves wisely,' could be in a position to enter into a peace treaty with Lebanon. Don't schedule the celebrations just yet. Throughout the course of its long history, the Middle East has been a graveyard for optimism. Major obstacles could block the way to peace between Lebanon and Israel.

DNC Party Platform Reviewed Part I

I took a look at the DNC website today to see what they were up to for the 2006 midterms. I really wanted to see what plan they had and if they really had a detailed plan. I also took a look at the RNC to see what they had for a plan for the American people. Seeing that we do not have a strong third party in the states I will not bother to look at the other parties as they have no chance in hell to win in 2006...

Is Sixty Years Too Long a Wait?

For some reason or another, five months after Congress voted to bestow its highest honor, the Congressional Gold Medal, on a couple hundred remaining heros still living from WWII, the award is not yet given or even produced. A word about these guys, the Tuskegee Airmen. They were a segregated United States Air Force squardron, 994 black pilots who were trained at Tuskegee Institute in 1942.
