RealClearPolitics - Articles - Minimizing McCain's Experience

Hero is a term that flies around, but wearing a uniform does not instantly make one a hero. To call one such, is to diminish the acts of true heroes. A well written and informative piece on the "experience" question.

I realize that this may be old hat to some, but I cannot stress enough on this subject. If you are an activist or protester, be warned. Always know those around you........always know that they are watching......and always be careful.

Were we duped? - CBC Archives

These people bring up some points about the first Iraq war. Interesting!

I was one of the people pointing out this BS in the 90's and I was called everything but a patriot. That was in the days before PCs and when I find my written word I will post it and illustrate that some of us were right and informed back in the "dark ages".

ABC News: Muslim Voters' Waning Support for Obama?

This can be understood if you follow politics. In this youtube world, can you imagine the new Obama is a Muslim crap that would be on the web? I mean 30% or so of the electorate still think he is a Muslim now and that would just reinforce the lie. It is sad that it has come to this but that is the nature of the beast.

McCain tries to distance himself from GW, but it just does not hold water. If you watch closely, he , McCain, tries to divert the attention away from Bush as often as possible. His stands will NOT hold up to scurtiny.

Professor's Classroom

Damn Monday already? Where did the joy and pleasure of the weekend go? Let us not speak of that again, but instead, move on to the quiz of the week.

In 1912, the Congress was afraid that the workers in the Federal government would try to join a union for better hours, pay, benefits and such and they were afraid that if the employed the strike then the government would have to shut down. The Congress enacted this legislation to prevent this from happening.

This should keep the class busy for awhile and I can get some sleep. You may begin!
