Actualmente, de esos 37 hay 18 que [...]

“La derecha conservadora invade Washington a 47 años del sueño de Luther King”. Con este partidista y denigratorio titular se comienza una noticia que tergiversa por completo el mensaje y la militancia política de unos ciudadanos americanos hartos de la deriva de su Gobierno.

Glenn Beck’s remarkable rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial Saturday was a wake-up call for his beloved America. This nation, he reminded us, is and has been since its founding a nation under God. Failure to recognize our absolute dependence upon God, he said, has put this nation in peril.

As the combat mission in Iraq draws to a close for the United States and the president prepares to address the nation tonight, the Obama administration is attempting to rewrite history by taking singular credit for our accomplishments in Iraq. Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. recently claimed it was President Obama who laid out the plan for a responsible end of the war in Iraq. But that’s not the whole story.

Hace tiempo que las democracias del mundo vienen transmitiendo una lógica peligrosa. Tal vez el problema no es la democracia en sí misma, sino la forma de interpretarla en la que muchos insisten y que parece haberse desarrollado, a tal punto, de universalizarse.
Es que muchos siguen entendiendo que el que reúne [...]
Making Sense, By Michael Reagan.
It’s almost as if President Obama’s agenda includes provoking anger at himself.
And it’s not just Republicans he’s provoking. It’s just about anybody who crosses his path, even his party’s deranged left wing.
Long-time liberal Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel is a case in point. The veteran Harlem congressman reacted to criticism from the president, who called on him to “end his career with dignity,” by remarking that Obama hasn’t “been around long enough to determine what my dignity is.”

Americans are at a crossroads. Numerous economic indicators show that our economy is in a serious recession. Most polls confirm Americans disapprove of Congress. The president’s approval ratings are only slightly better.
By George Handlery. It is not a towering intellectual challenge to agree with a popular general principle. A bit more difficult is to formulate one for oneself and for the rest of mankind. The test of any moral rectitude expressed by the principle comes after its formulation. It happens when, unexpectedly, a collision between the abstract rule and personal commitments and identifications arise. An aspect of the problem is expressed by a clever adage. It holds that it is easier to love mankind than to get along with the neighbor. A current example of holding on to a principle one its application effects “one of us” negatively is provided by some prominent congressmen. Originally, prior to encountering temptations, they were loudly for honesty in politics mainly because others were to be judged. The same people are now facing investigation for corruption wrapped in a fancy term. It is notable that regardless of the evidence, their party and some people that are professionally eminent, rally doggedly to their defense.

The Democratic Party has long received a majority of the Hispanic votes. Recent results from polls, such as one done by Quinnipiac University, reveal that even now, 46% of Hispanics would vote to re-elect President Obama.(1) This is only a small decline from the 67% of Hispanic voters who voted for the President in 2008. Yet, while the democrats are able to sway the Hispanic vote, the political reality is that democrats do not have the best interest of Hispanics in mind. They have constantly supported legislation and policies that are against true Hispanic values.

En la política norteamericana, el periodo que va entre las elecciones de noviembre y la inauguración del nuevo Congreso unas semanas después se conoce como una especie de sesión inútil, inservible, lo que en inglés se llama “lame duck session”. Sin embargo, tras la apariencia de inutilidad, la realidad [...]
