I want to start out by saying that those depicted in the photo have every right to voice their opinion about the war. What they do not have a right to do however, if they are military personnel, is use the uniform of this nations armed services to protest its foreign policy. Those on the left may call this an exercise of free specch. With every right we have that is protected by our constitution

There have been many protest rallies throughout the nation about the Genocide and other attrocities occuring in the Darfur region of Sudan. I agree with those who insist that some action must be taken to stop those attrocities from continuing. Sudan is a totalitarian regime that utilizes brutality and suppression of human rights to remain in power, especially suppression of freedoms of speech and

My greatest disappointment in President Bush and the Republican leadership in both the House and Senate is the seemingly uncontrolled and irresponsible spending. I know that Representatives and Senators from both sides of the aisle are responsible for the ridiculous levels of earmarks in federal spending, but Republicans have the power to reduce if not eliminate this practice. It is high time

The "Terror Summit" makes it pretty clear that the Mad Mullahs are planning for an eventual confrontation. We need to ensure that if a confrontation does happen, that it happens on our terms. We can not allow them to take the inititive.IRAN’S president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, attended a meeting in Syria earlier this year with one of the world’s most wanted terrorists, according to intelligence

NEW ORLEANS - The race to guide the city through one of the biggest urban reconstruction projects in U.S. history — rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina — was whittled to two familiar candidates: Mayor Ray Nagin and Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu.New Orleans needs leadership in its recovery effort. Both Candidates demonstrated very little of the much needed commodity during the Katrina disaster. What

The Queens-based Islamic Thinkers Society (ITS) held a rally yesterday outside of the Israeli Consulate in Manhattan. The rally was held in response to Monday’s Tel Aviv bombing that killed 9 and injured scores. While carrying signs including “Islam will Dominate” with a picture of an Islamic flag over the White House, the small but loud group of men chanted threatening slogans.Excerpts:Leader (

Spending Reduction and ReformMy greatest disappointment in President Bush and the Republican leadership in both the House and Senate is the seemingly uncontrolled and irresponsible spending. I know that Representatives and Senators from both sides of the aisle are responsible for the ridiculous levels of earmarks in federal spending, but Republicans have the power to reduce if not eliminate this

Homeland SecurityHomeland security, although a completely separate issue from either the Immigration or Global War on Terror issues, is closely related to both. Border security and Immigration reform are inseparable. You can not have one without the other, and amazingly enough we drastically need both. If the National Guard in Border States must be mobilized to secure the border then The

Global War on TerrorCandidates for election in 2006 must be able to show how they intend to continue to prosecute the Global War on Terror. Candidates that advocate withdrawing of our troops to within our own borders and abandoning the offensive strategy of the past 5 years and adopting a strictly defensive strategy will be allowing the terrorists to choose when, where, and by what means to

ImmigrationImmigration reform is absolutely crucial if we ever hope to secure our boarders and ensure that those who take advantage of our various social programs are in fact entitled to those programs. We must develop a comprehensive immigration policy that enhances our border security, yet recognizes the contributions made by those who do immigrate here. There are anywhere from 8 – 20 Million

The congressional and state elections of 2006 will be one of the most important in history. Politically the nation is at a crossroads, and some tough decisions will have to be made concerning the national agenda not only for the next few years but on issues that will affect our nation for many generations to come.

There has been much loose talk comparing the War on Terror, and specifically the War in Iraq to Vietnam. In reality there are far more differences than similarities. There is however one aspect between Iraq and Vietnam that is nearly identical. The Terrorists, insurgents, or Islamic Fundamentalists however you want to refer to them, clearly learned the central lesson from our withdrawal from
