Celtic Woman - Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring

Take Action May 26th, 27th, 28th. As citizens, we honor and support our troops for their service and sacrifice.
As Americans, we are blessed by that sacrifice and support, which keeps us safe and keeps us strong.As patriots, we call on our government to support our troops in the most important way it can - by ending this war and bringing them home.
This Memorial Day weekend, we will all take responsibility for the country we love and the men and women who protect it. We will volunteer, we will pray, and we will speak out. Each of us has a responsibility to act, a duty to our troops and to each other. Support the troops. End the war.

A Racist Would Never Move To This Neighborhood
I’m A White Woman Living In A Black Neighborhood
And I’m turning into a racist because of it. I don’t say this proudly; quite the opposite: I am ashamed. But that doesn’t change what I have become. Almost two years ago, I bought a house in Bartlett Park, a predominantly black neighborhood in what we used to call the “south side” but now refer to as “Midtown”.

The Man Who Would Have Done Nothing
Al Gore would have done nothing in retaliation against the attacks upon the United States on 9/11. He would have taken the route of his mentor, Bill Clinton, and at most lobbed a few cruise missiles at some tent. The Taliban would still be in power, Saddam would still be sitting on his throne in Iraq with his arsenal intact and growing, and Osama would be operating and training out in the open, expanding into the friendly territory of Iraq.......more

Conservative Assault On America's Families
The “you are on your own”
Notion of government and freedom has meant that American families must live with stagnant wages at a time of high profits and productivity without a way to get ahead no matter how hard they try. It has meant health insecurity for workers and their families as fewer and fewer jobs provide health care coverage. It has meant that workers face their older years without the means they counted on to retire, as corporations have slashed traditional pension plans. And it has meant that half of Americans don’t have the fundamental right to take a day off from work when they are sick without losing a job or a paycheck......more

Conservatism Has Failed
Conservatism Is Dead
Watching the Republican debate last week really highlighted the fact that conservatism is dead. Not so much in the sense that no one believes in it anymore (those 20 percenters are still hangin’ on), but that it has been discredited to the point that very few are willing to give it another chance......more
