Regarding Malcolm Hedges characterizations of the Democrats and how he believes that all of us are in “bed with Uncle Joe” and sing the “International” at bedtime to our progeny. (PS: I note that David Stockman, Reagan’s supply-side guru of no taxes on the rich, that raised deficits into the multi-trillions is now facing some harsh music. It looks like he’ll be whistling a different tune for the next number of years)

Irvine, CA--On Wednesday the Supreme Court heard arguments on the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, which outlaws a particular method of late-term abortion.

Opposition to birth control is an assault on the pursuit of happiness.

The United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK) have enjoyed a close alliance for more than a half century. When South Korean President Roh Moo-Hyun met with George W. Bush in November 2005, an official White House statement summed up the relationship between the two countries: “The two leaders agreed that the alliance not only stands against threats but also for the promotion of the common values of democracy, market economy, freedom, and human rights in Asia and around the world.” In other words, South Korea and the United States contend that they stand together not only for strategic military reasons but also because of a strong overlap in economic and political philosophies.

Every Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the American men and women who have died in combat. With speeches and solemn ceremonies, we recognize their courage and valor. But one fact goes unacknowledged in our Memorial Day tributes: all too many of our soldiers have died unnecessarily--because they were sent to fight for a purpose other than America’s freedom.

Banning any type of abortion to “protect the fetus” necessarily grants rights to the fetus.

It has always been known that more people will believe a lie, the bigger the lie is and the more often the lie is repeated. Talk radio as defined by the Republican Right mindset is completely based on lies. The entire way Republican Right talk show hosts present political events and issues are based on lies designed to deceive their listeners instead of educating them.

Banning any type of abortion to “protect the fetus” necessarily grants rights to the fetus. The federal appeals courts in San Francisco and New York were right to declare the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act unconstitutional. Such a ban constitutes a grave threat to women’s health and a violation of their rights and should be struck down.
