With much mud slinging about the causes of the downturn in the economy, it has been convenient to blame the sub-prime mortgage industry as the Grinch who stole Christmas. This is, exactly what that policy is, convenient- All too convenient of an excuse for the greedy consumer who wanted more than they could afford- The industry responded to the consumer demand. This is the way free...
David Rainey clearly misses the point, when he admonishes people for not understanding the checks and balances of the three branches of the government. The role of the courts are to uphold the constitution of the United States, not interpret it! Mr. Rainey utilizes Civil Rights as an example, and if his admonishment was to hold water, he would believe that the dozens of occasions that the US...
If the rise in popularity of Borak Obama is not about race, what does the Nation’s leading black minister mean when he says about he possibility of Borak not being nominated ” He said in an interview that black voters could come to feel so disheartened that “their whole motivation for participating in the political process in this election would be greatly reduced”?

Wouldn’t it seem rational to place some conditions on receiving public dollars for health care. Such as being a responsible...
With respect to charter schools out performing “nearby” schools: Two things come to mind; The first is, “how would these “nearby” schools place if only the top 25% were compared to the charter schools?: And secondly, if there is any scientific proof to this theory of charter schools out performing “nearby” schools, when we compare the same students and not utilize a median or averages,...
He is sounding much like a Republican. Heck, President Bush made these recommendations and was ostracized as a mean spirited white guy. Too bad Barack did not have the courage to admit these revelations during the election. The chameleon is showing his colors- Oops- he has no colors, stands for nothing, and just puts his finger in the wind, experimenting with our dollars. America was duped- and...

If a kid cannot get with the mainstream program,...
