Hearing more and more people from the tea party crowd and right argue that we shouldn’t help out Haiti is truly appalling. We aren’t talking about some unknown nation on the other side of the globe. We are talking about our neighbors, separated by only 300 miles of ocean. For me I think of it […]
For years we on the left have been saying that George W. Bush was a valuable asset to al Qaeda. His policies and tone alone provided a great tool for al Qaeda to use when it comes to recruiting. Now the terrorist group is facing a new challenge: With Obama, al-Qaeda faces an entirely new […]
