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

According to The New York Times, reporting on the CBO report on the Republican’s American Health Care Act, the impact of the Act on Americans in their 60s would be catastrophic. In addition, millions of the poor who benefited from Medicaid expansion will loose their insurance. The proposed law bases subsidies for people not on their income…

I have never seen such an apparent deep split in the American people combined with such rage and intolerance towards the other side’s point of view. This exceeds even the emotions generated by Vietnam. Indeed, the ubiquitous nature of this rage is possibly worse than anything America has ever encountered. But is what we are seeing and…

Donald Trump promised the American people that he would return the country back into their hands. His cabinet appointments, however, show clearly that he is doing just the opposite. It’s not so much that his appointments are either billionaires or extremely rich. It’s that, like so many in their class today, they have no interest…

Democrats are trying to figure out what to do, what to change in their game plan, to regain Congress in 2018 and the presidency in 2020. There are various scenarios that people are putting together on how they can turn things around. I have written after past elections, and I wrote in a post after this…

Of all the unfortunate results of the 2016 campaign and election, perhaps the worst is that the divisive identity politics pursued by both parties resulted in a loss of any feeling that we are one people, one country. Instead, post-election there are two opposing camps at war; so many angry voices, so much vilification on both…

The founders of the United States were deeply religious. But they were not narrow-minded or bigoted in their religious thought. They were students of the Enlightenment. And so in writing the 1st Amendment they saw to it that the government would neither pass any law respecting the establishment of religion, thus forcing it on people,…

It’s sad to see Democrats once again thrashing around, after November’s defeat, trying to figure out where there message failed and what they need to do in the future. (Everyone that is but the Clinton campaign, who apparently doesn’t think there was anything wrong with their message, but that’s another problem.) Some advocate focusing on youth and…

For the next 4 years, you will be carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. All the suffering, all the conflicts, all the madness will come before you in some form or other for your leadership decision as President. People and nations will look to you to make the right decisions for our country and…

Everyone assumes that Republicans have control of the Senate and that Democrats will have to resort to endless filibusters in attempting to stop those aspects of Trump’s agenda that denigrate or attack specific groups of American citizens on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity. But there is another possibility, which…

After the dismaying election season and the heartbreaking election results, my first response was that I needed to start planning to leave the US. The country is broken in so many ways. The rage unleashed by Trump against Latinos and Muslims is scary. As is his contempt of women and the “elite,” meaning educated liberals.…
