Pay-Go or No-Go?

Pay-Go or No-Go?

Critical thinkers are open minded because they seek to draw conclusions after asking many questions both about the information they receive and that which they locate through research. This can be challenging when all the headlines seem to proclaim the same thing.

“Conservative” Views Latinos Should Question

“Conservative” Views Latinos Should Question

By Stephen A. Nuño. Latinos who view themselves as a big C Conservative have hitched their wagon to a movement that is indifferent at best to issues that impact Latinos. Too many of these folks they’d like to ignore the impact that race has had on GOP policies to prove their loyalty to the Party.

La legitimidad electoral

La legitimidad electoral

Por Francisco Alarcón.
La verdadera revolución es la voz moral. El populismo es una asunción de un modo radical para lograr la homogeneidad sobre lo imaginario. La posibilidad de un gobierno omnisciente no cabe en el siglo XXI. Muchos políticos creen que entienden a la gente cuando ofrecen soluciones concretas a los problemas concretos. El [...]

Trilogía Cuaresmal III: La Limosna

Trilogía Cuaresmal III: La Limosna

Por Padre Víctor Salomón.
Cuán equivocados podríamos estar sobre el profundo significado cristiano de la palabra limosna.  Para muchos de nosotros se trata de dar “algo” a los pobres, para otros es meramente un acto de lástima hacia el necesitado y para otros un aquietar las conciencias egoístas. En el mejor de los casos podríamos entenderlo [...]

Accepting Young Hispanics Perceptions of the GOP

Accepting Young Hispanics Perceptions of the GOP

By Melissa Blair.

Spanish Poet Francisco de Quevedo once wrote: “He who spends time regretting the past losses the present and risks the future”. As the Republican Party strives to connect with young Hispanos we have to take many factors into consideration, and not be hasty and rush band aid ‘outreach’ initiatives together for the sake of saying we’re doing something.

Democracia y terrorismo

Democracia y terrorismo

Por Martín Santiváñez Vivanco.
La estrecha relación entre ETA y la Venezuela chavista ha desatado un impasse diplomático en el que el gobierno del Presidente Rodríguez Zapatero tiene todas las de perder. El escaso peso que mantiene España en Sudamérica se ha visto seriamente mermado por la candidez con que actuó Zapatero, acompañado en este entuerto [...]

¿Qué es “reconciliación” y por qué es una amenaza?

¿Qué es “reconciliación” y por qué es una amenaza?

Por Newt Gingrich.
Durante el encuentro de salud de la semana pasada, el Líder de la Mayoría de la Cámara, Harry Reid, hizo una declaración verdaderamente deshonesta e irónica. Declaró que “nadie está hablando de reconciliación” para aprobar el proyecto de ley.
Fue deshonesta porque desde que la aprobación del proyecto de ley en el Senado se [...]

Where Have All The Heroes Gone?

Where Have All The Heroes Gone?

By George Handlery.

There was a time when chest-pounding personal declarations of a total commitment to moral positions were fashionable. The claimants professed to be as uncompromising as they pretended to be courageous. At the time, the claimed heroism aroused the writer’s suspicion. The professions of virtue had a disturbing flaw. They concentrated on combating enemies that were already defeated or seemingly too far away to matter.

¿Estamos ponchados? II

¿Estamos ponchados? II

Por Ricardo Valenzuela.
“Subdesarrollo es un estado mental,” es el acusador título de ese gran libro con el que Harrison describe las dolorosas diferencias entre países prósperos, desarrollados, vibrantes, y las naciones frenadas, atoradas y ruinas como la nuestra. Ha sido nuestra cultura la que ha permitido que México continúe en manos de quienes, en palabras [...]

Texas and the Perfect Political Storm

Texas and the Perfect Political Storm

By Melissa Blair.

Picture it – Texas, Tuesday, March 2, 2010 the Texas Republican Primary and the Conservative slap heard round the state! Several Conservative Republican Hispanics found themselves without a home that night; I was one of them I thought. Races by Hispanic candidates were lost all around the state at every level, even conservative incumbents appointed by Governor Perry. What went wrong?
