Preserving American Values
Our nation stands under attack … not from without but from within. American values, our politics, and our culture have been corrupted.

In a recent interview with Breitbart, as reported in various mainstream media, although interestingly not The New York Times or the Washington Post, Donald Trump stated the following. “I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump. I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough—until…

The new crop of Democratic progressives in the House scares me. I am a liberal and a progressive. But these new Reps have a huge chip on their shoulder. Not surprising given the past two years of dealing with Donald Trump, but that’s no excuse, certainly not for someone who seeks to be a leader.…

We have a real problem in this country when it comes to commenting negatively about Israel. Recently, Representative Ilhan Omar has come under intense criticism for her statements. Her main target and the statement that got the most criticism dealt with the power of AIPAC. While the way she phrased her comment, talking about promoting allegiance…

The question is, should Governor Northam of Virginia resign because he possibly either put on blackface or a KKK robe for a picture that found its way into his medical school yearbook (which he first admitted and then denied), or because he now admits that he blacked his face as part of a Michael Jackson…

The President seems to think that he has the final say over whether the government will be open or shut down if he doesn’t get his wall. Not surprisingly, he does not seem to understand the constitution’s careful structure of checks and balances among the three branches of government. If Congress passes a bi-partisan spending bill…

Ok. You’ve made your point that the wall, as opposed to other types of increased border security, is not a good idea for various reasons. And you’ve made clear that you are not going to let Trump roll over you and the new Democratic majority in the House. As a liberal/progressive I have supported your position. However, in…

Senator McConnell’s refusal to consider legislation that the President will not sign is a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of Congress’ role under the Constitution. Our democracy is justifiably famous for its then-novel system of checks and balances. The three branches of government check each other. Simply put, the executive checks the legislative through its veto…

As a liberal/progressive, I think the wall is a bad idea for a variety of reasons. It’s also a terrible image that the United States should not be associated with. But is funding for the wall something that Democrats should shut down the government over? We all agree, I think, that immigration should happen in an…

In these days of enraged people on both sides of the political spectrum, it would be helpful to take a deep breath, step back from the battle, and ask the question, “What is the role of government?” Specifically, our government. In answering this question we look to our founding documents. According to the Constitution the…

In the irony of ironies, it appears that the most important reason why Trump won the election was fake news. He not only manufactured it, but it was spread as real news by several broadcast organizations, most importantly Sinclair Broadcast Group, not Fox. Yes, Hilary did not run a good campaign. Yes, she wasn’t a very appealing…
