For purposes of this column let me equate the GOP with “conservatives”.  It seems the GOP can’t decide if they really want to split from the moderate Republicans as Limbaugh and others would like and totally embrace conservatism. I’m not talking Reagan conservatism- what is happening now is way beyond what Reagan stood for. Reagan [...]

Several years ago, when I worked for the Christian Science Monitor, we had a meeting with the paper’s main publishing team about the future of the publication. In a rather solemn tone, they told us was that the average age of a print subscriber was 65. Meanwhile, the average age of readers visiting the website [...]

Teaparty time? Cut the crap

Don’t let the conservatives snow you during the April 15 teaparty rallies that Obama is creating debt for our children. That horse left the barn a long time ago. Obama won’t be able to get it back in even with two terms. Its time to call the conservatives on the deficit and debt crap they are going on about. The debt was placed on our kids and grandkids starting in 1981. Years of political waste and over spending by Republicans 20 years in office have gotten us here. Reagan style economics is to blame. So cut the crap.

GOP Myths exploited by Conservatives

There are few issues the Left and Right can agree on. But there are issues that media and politicians have created on order to drive us further apart. In this column I’d like to address some of them and hopefully find common ground. 
If you agree or disagree please add your feedback on twitter using [...]
