Justice and common sense

Charles Dickens’ Mr. Bumble had harsh words for the law in the context of marital rights: “If the law supposes that… the law is a [sic] ass—a idiot.” Every once in a while, however, in spite of itself, the law produces justice. When this happens the public should rejoice and some jurists wonder what went [...]

Feuding isn't helping

It’s not too late to do it right. Eugene Robinson expressed disappointment in President Obama’s wish to take the middle road and seek bipartisan support for health care reform, acknowledging that attempting to work with Republicans would be expedient, “But we didn’t elect Obama to be an expedient president. We elected him to be a [...]

Bi-partisan?  Cooperation?  Not from these guys. I have expressed my unhappiness  with President Obama insistence on reaching out to Republicans who will not support any efforts to reform health care delivery for our citizens or to stabilize the continuing economic crises which began during the last administration. While the president aims to fulfill the mandate [...]

Every person who expresses opinions based on rational thought, from the Left or the Right, has to be grateful to Mrs. Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage and the others who have brought political and social discourse to the level of Looney-Tunes cartoons, those silly and funny films that used to accompany the advertised [...]

Ideas vs bullies, racism and falsehoods

In an earlier post, I posited, that the GOP had essentially given up any role in the health care reform process, notwithstanding the fact that the vast majority of Americans want that process to continue.  I suggested the bases for Republican political philosophy: cut taxes on wealthy, give government operations to private industry and make [...]
