American Arrogance not only leads us into unnecessary wars and other international disasters it also means our execution of these failed-from-the-start missions is woefully inadequate.

I’m well aware that facts are irrelevant when it comes to Repugs and RWCAs. They daily show American voters their exceptional hypocrite skills and choice of choosing power over facts and what is best for our nation. On Obama’s trip to Japan, they saw our president bending low when greeting the Emperor and immediately concluded [...]
Frank Rich in his op-ed today really nailed the Afghanistan myths and the War Hawks deadly foolish desire to send 40-80,00 more troops into a mission and country they clearly don’t understand: McChrystal thinks we might even jolly up those Muslims who historically and openly hate America. “I don’t think much of the Taliban are [...]
I saw my VA health man the other day, to talk about my meds – including weighing the pros and cons of going on a cholesterol-lowering drug; plus I asked for an eye exam and had blood drawn. Everything looks good. I’m in the pink. On the way out the door, I got a couple [...]

She is looking at, “The bad apple approach doesn’t solve the political, legal or moral problems. Indeed, that seems so clear that you have to wonder if this isn’t being done to serve some other purpose.” [...]
The future for the Party of No (PON) and Own Worst Enemy (OWE) was projected by The Heel on Hag’s GOP thoughts Friday when he (oops, could be a she or a variation) The Heel posted, “My gut feeling is that the left is lulling itself into this complacent notion of certainty about the GOPs [...]
While I was manning our Dem booth at the County Fair yesterday, I was approached by three white teens about 12-15 years old.
