The 'Chinese way' would be not to tell us what they plan to do

I hope our so-called leaders, both political and military, are cynical enough to realize that China's military build-up is not without specific purpose. All I read coming out of the State Dept. or the Pentagon is stuff like, "we can't see a logical reason why China would need to undertake such a large military expansion."

I really hope this is just political posturing and that they clearly understand that China is preparing for a dramatic, comprehensive move, on all fronts, to establish world domination. Of course they won't signal their intentions. They're Chinese. Secrecy, stealth, and misdirection is the Chinese way. Name:

Spending like a drunken sailor? No, it's worse than than

How many times have you heard people liken the United States government to a “drunken sailor” spending money? There is little comparison. When a drunken sailor runs out of money, he can’t buy any more booze. When the federal government runs out of money as it did several years ago, it just keeps on spending other people’s money. The Obama administration raised its 10 year budget from the original $7.108 trillion to $9 trillion. On Sixth Avenue in New York City is The National Debt Clock showing our national debt by the second of increase. It is about $1,000,000 every 38 seconds. To view this on the Internet, go to http://www.usdebtclock.org/. Without increasing everybody’s taxes by 80 percent, it will be impossible to pay off this debt. There is nothing in the foreseeable future that will slow down the increase, in fact if the Obama administration has their way, our debt will grow even faster. Everybody needs to watch this U.S. Debt Clock for at least a minute. The debt will eventually reach a point that our nation will be declared bankrupt. Laurence J. Kotlikoff, Professor of Economics at Boston University wrote a 16 page paper entitled: Is the United States Bankrupt (2006). It is a PDF posted on the Internet. He concluded by saying, “Countries can and do go bankrupt. The United States, with its $65.9 trillion fiscal gap, seems clearly headed down that path.” W

No Abraham Lincoln

I woke up this morning to hear that Sen. Ted Kennedy had died. I pondered on what positive acts the senator did for our country ... I can't think of one thing. He should have been out of office when he killed that young lady in his DUI crash. How does her family feel? I know that had I done that, I would still be in prison. I do feel sorry for any one who looses a family member, but he was no Abraham Lincoln.

All should be ready, like Honduras, to say 'No, we have had enough'

I must add my voice to the others and say Thank You. I have really enjoyed seeing the truth printed in your articles about Honduras and its stand against Chavez and those like him. Who would have guessed a tiny nation in Central America would finally say, "We have had enough" and follow through. The rest of us need to take note and pay attention when our turn comes to say: "No, we have had enough".

CNN's 'complete fabrications' on Honduras

It is frustrating seeing news outlets like CNN broadcasting complete fabrications of what is going on in Honduras. I am glad to know that there is unbiased news sources out there that can bring light to the issue and informed the public of what is really going on.

Media's blinders on the real news from Honduras

Thank you for this article. You are reporting the truth about what is happening in Honduras. The peaceful demonstrations which number in the thousands across the country celebrate democracy. The U.S. news outlets are not reporting them. They are either sidestepping this key fact or twisting the facts. Please continue to report on the truth.

Stand tall with Honduras or get ready for a Marxist Mexico

If the voices of freedom and democracy in America do not stand now with the Honduran people, we will soon have Marxist dictatorships all the way to the Mexico/Texas border. Chavez and his alliance of Marxist thugs will NOT stop until they bring down the Mexican government, with the help of the drug cartels.

Liberians want security jobs in Iraq

We ex-fighters in Liberia are suffering because of exclusion by the government. We are looking for opportunities like a security job in Iraq but the government will not allow us. Will you help us work in Iraq earn our daily bread?

'Iranism' vs the Mullahs

“What made them so special?” I had never been asked such a question about the Achaemenids, the founders of the Persian Empire in sixth century B.C.E.

I was visiting the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco looking at a map of the ancient Near East when a woman approached me and asked whether I knew anything about the map since it seemed as if I did.

I told her that I had a Masters in Ancient History and had devoted much of time in studying ancient Persians and specifically the Achaemenids, the founders of the first world empire. That’s when she asked, “What made them so special?” When I looked at her in surprise not because I couldn’t answer her, but because I had never been asked such a question, she elaborated, “How were they able to create the first world empire and maintain control? There must have been something special about them to achieve that rather impossible task.”

I answered the lady’s simple question in one sentence. She seemed satisfied and we parted ways. But later as I thought more about her unusual question, it dawned on me that it was not such a simple question after all — her question wrapped up many years of my wanting to learn about the Achaemenids and what it meant to be Iranian into ONE sentence. I crammed volumes of read and unread sources into a sentence. Her inquiry filled me with the desire to define Iranianism. See full text of this letter.

Memo to America: Wake up

I am hard pressed to understand or even comprehend why the American population doesn't understand we are at war with Islam. This is a religious war and as I see it "we Americans" are letting Obama and his cronies hand our values and country over. Stop this and fellow Americans.... WAKE UP before it is to late.

Making nice with Islam is the Christian thing to do

I am a practicing Christian who decided that some of your fact checking in Sol Sanders commentary "Obama's speech was a travesty" needed to be checked:

Obama's speech was by no measure of a man equivalent to Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, but given the turmoil the past 12 decades with the Muslim world, do you even acknowledge that it was an important first step? When you attempt to make amends with someone you've been fighting with, is your first contact a descriptive list of what they are doing wrong? No, you say that you at least see their side of the story, even if you do not agree, if only to get them back to the table.

Obama's policy on proliferation vs his words

Obama is basically guaranteeing that Iran will obtain nuclear weapons. Iran is likely to use the weapons(and give them to terrorists). And once Iran gets the nuclear bomb, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan will want the bomb (and they've already made steps in that direction). So, while Obama claims he wants to end nuclear proliferation, he actually is doing the opposite by his policies.

Religion by the wayside in Obama's national cult

Simple-minded Americans bought the promotional line that Mr. Obama ia a Christian. He uses the name of Christianity to mask his secularism. He is using his office to undermine and devalue Christianity as just one of many religions such as Islam. In fact he has shown more sympathy and support for Islam than for Christianity. His brand of extreme liberalism does offer environmentalism as a substitute for true religion. A brainwashed generation of college-educated, pre-50 Americans are ready to embrace it. Let's unite to spoil his plans.

Israel wakes up and smells the coffee

Israel is receiving a dose of reality.

The United States government has now tacitly accepted "The Islamic Republic Of Iran" as Iran's official government and affirmed its sovereignty among nations (see Obama's Nowruz message) and has also unofficially accepted Iran as a nuclear power as it realises the inevitability.

Israel is now out of options and will soon accept this reality too. Israel apparently wishes to be friends with the Iranian people, but needs to understand that the overwhelming majority of Iranians both inside Iran and abroad support the country's right to full nuclear technology and the perks that come with it, just as Israel has enjoyed for so many years and wished to deprive Iran of.

How about making Democrats accountable for a change, Mr. Koch?

I agree with some of the comments made by Ed Koch. However, I find it amusing that he conveniently left out one of the main causes for the financial debacle our country now faces.

Laws passed by Congress basically told the banks that they were to make housing loans, even to people who could NOT afford them.

It's interesting that Mr. Koch now thinks creditworthiness needs to be a major criteria in lending, while his Democrat colleagues previously gave us lending without any criteria, except affirmative action.

Watchdog press or Big Brother?

We as a country will pay for the fact that articles like this one are not more broadly read and discussed.

I cannot make reconcile the lack of objective review and reporting by the major news media.

Example-in-chief heads Treasury

I sincerely appreciate this truth, which we the American people, rarely get any more from the majority of the media.

Our country has truly stooped to a pathetic new low with criminals actually being appointed to head our U.S. Treasury.

Please keep on reporting and uncovering all the corruption in our government.

'Peace through war' in Sri Lanka

Excellent article. This is a strategy of "peace through war".

Many more powerful countries (UK/India/USA) tell Sri Lanka there is no military solution and to negotiate with the Tamil terrorists, but they hypocritically state that they will "never negotiate with terrorists" in their War on Terror.

Maybe the world can learn a few tricks from our military forces and leadership? Yes there has to be a genuine attempt to improve the lives of the suffering Tamil civilain population.

2008: The year American journalism died

I'd like to thank Nancy Morgan for her remarkably accurate column.

2008, as far as I am concerned was the year that "journalism" died in the U.S. The type of "reporting" by the so-called MSM is what you would expect in a third-world Country, not in America.

Please continue to try and get the truth out to the citizens of this great country.

Americans, not Al Qaida, won hearts and minds in Iraq

The Al Qaida women surrendering and coming to their senses only reinforces my conviction since coming back from Iraq in June of '07 that all was not lost. From our hard fought battles in Falluja to the Sheik program now called the Anbar awakening, we as Americans can feel proud of how our forces conducted themselves and the success of our total change of tactics to win hearts and minds. This is something Al Qaida never did.

How hypocritical our enemy has been in using women as bombers. It would seem Muslims from around the world are finally realizing Al Qaida's political agenda. Without the Iraq War we would have been engaged in a protracted struggle with Al Qaida. Now the so called sympathizers from around the world are turning their thoughts away from violence.

Most Muslims will tell you Al Qaida militias are not Muslims and, if they are politically inclined, will say that Americans were welcomed in trying to establish a democracy in the Middle East. They are proud people, the Iraqis.

So much of our views come from a media that won't give us the perspective of the common man or woman in the Middle East.

These female bombers were recruited by thugs and most were either coerced or brainwashed because of their anger and [their desire] to empower themselves. To empower a woman is not the way of Al Qaida. Interestingly the Al Qaida have unclothed themselves in front of the Muslims of the world. The world as we knew it has changed and Al Qaida can't hide any more.
