John McCain’s former Chief of Staff, Mark Salter, has a column on AmericanSpeakOn.org titled “Double Standards” that is worth a read and merits a response, as I too, have been disappointed by the “race to the bottom” in our current political environment.
There appears to be a substantial difference between the protests (and lack of respect) [...]
I’ve said for the past 18 months or so that John McCain, American Hero who ran for President in 2000, is a very different man than the John McCain who ran for President in 2008. His nomination of Sarah Palin as VP candidate was the last straw for me to respect him as a “straight [...]
Over the years, I’ve been disappointed by your unabashed support as the Republican Party has shifted to the extreme right on social issues while losing any semblance of credibility on fiscal matters. And it’s been disheartening to hear intelligent Republicans such as you with unwavering defense of Bush’s administration despite the numerous failures. But it’s [...]
The law, as it is, can be difficult to interpret even for seasoned professionals. There are laws and within them there are consequences to not following those all encompassed within something called the Constitution. The problem is the Constitution keeps changing and molding with the times. It can be a daunting task trying to find [...]
I’ve been surprised and disappointed by many conservative pundits’ unabashed support as the Republican Party has shifted to the extreme right on social issues while losing any semblance of credibility on fiscal matters.

They say that OakBrook is the community. This has been found to be quite close to the truth as this little town has acquired the reputation of being virtually free of crime. When it comes to paying of taxes they are lowest in the land with no property tax to speak of. Not to mention [...]
The well-known debtor-creditor law has assumed the name ‘Asset protection’ in most part of the world and the United States included. It was a movement started by Barry Engle a Colorado attorney who is credited with the initiation of this set of statutory body and law to protect individuals from civil judgments. In Chicago, some [...]
I don’t typically wish bad things on anyone, but must admit I feel a degree of schadenfreude when political candidates, particularly ones who are visible bible-thumpers, have very public embarrassments as has recently happened with Nevada Senator John Ensign and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford.
Sanford’s announcement today that he was having an affair with an [...]
This year’s 2009 US Open Championship Golf Tournament is being held in Farmingdale, NY at the Bethpage State Park Golf Black Course. Last year’s Championship featured two long time friends facing off in an 18 hole playoff, however, both Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate were still tied after the playoff.
This was one of the gutsiest [...]
President Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor to be the first Hispanic justice of the US Supreme Court today, championing her as a compassionate, experienced judge whose against-the-odds life story is in true spirit of the American Dream.
My take is that “Judicial Activism” is in the eye of the beholder. Whether judges vote “For” or “Against” in [...]
