6/29/2003 Jumping to Conclusions

Did President Bush lie? Mr. Fred Kaplan of Slate Magazine says yes! He makes the case that the Bush Administration acted just like hawks during the 1950's missile-gap debate. Was the case overstated now as then? Or are liberals just jumping to conclusions?

2/10/2003 The anti-war view. What is it?

Over the Presidents' Day Holiday the anti-war protestors made their views know. What are they and will they work? Let's discuss their viability to see if they have a case.

2/1/2003 Europe Agrees

Five European Union countries and three others have published a strong letter supporting US resolve regarding Iraq. We wish to say thank you for their courage and support. It's refreshing to know that not all of Europe is anti-American.

1/28/2003 Let's Examine the European Opinions on War with Iraq.

If ignorance is bliss, then the Europeans must live in nirvana. Let's ask ourselves why Europeans refuse to believe Iraq is a problem while accusing America of all types of evil.

1/24/2003 A FICKLE HISTORY OF OUR CONGRESS AND IRAQ

In 1998 Congress voted that regime change in Iraq should be the US policy. They urged President Clinton to support Iraqi opposition with money, material, and technology. Why then do we hear so much opposition to President Bush's policy for the same thing?

1/15/2003 TO BE OR NOT TO BE, POOR

Benjamin Framklin said, "The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. If so, what is society's obligation to the poor? Is it immoral to allow a wealthy class while there are poor in the world?

8/31/2002 THE EMPTY SKY and IN MEMORY OF SEP 11

Let us know how you feel and what you think on this first anniversary of the worst attack on American since Pearl Harbor at: Speak Up.

8/25/2002 Reparations for slavery?

Are reparations for the past transgressions of slavery appropriate? Or would opening the debate only do more harm than good? Currently, there is proposed legislation in Congress to establish a commission, just as we did for the Japanese internees during WWII. What do you think? Let us know at the Speak Up message board.

8/15/2002 THE BUSH IQ HOAX

Was it just a joke? Or was it a planned smear campaign against President Bush? This article tracks down the hoax. You decide if it was slander, dirty politics, or more.

7/28/2002 BOOK REVIEW: Slander: Liberal Lies About The American Right by Ann Coulter

This best-seller is reviewed by "The Public View". Is this book just more political platitudes designed to pander to a fringe group? Find out TPV's opinion and let us know your thoughts.

7/3/2002 LIBERALS AND LIBEL

Was the falsified report that President Bush's IQ was lower than every president in 50 years just a joke? Was it negative campaigning? In Ann Coulter's new book, "Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right, she claims liberals resort to name calling, invectives, derision, and even slander. Read about the 'Lovenstein Institute' report on presidential IQ. Then you decide.
