Emanuel-Obama

More and more every day, I am beginning to realize that the business of politics really is a nasty business. It seems that no one is exempt, all the way from the highest office in the land to the bottom rung of the political ladder. If you are wondering what I am referring to,...

Oklahoma City — a lesson learned?

The following is extracted from an op-ed written by Bill Clinton and appearing in today’s NY Times: Finally, we should never forget what drove the bombers, and how they justified their actions to themselves. They took to the ultimate extreme an idea advocated in the months and years before the bombing by an increasingly vocal minority:...

Holding our noses over David Vitter

Monday, July 27, 2009
By LD Jackson

Is it too much to expect, if we simply ask those who claim to have conservative values and standards to be living up to the values and standards they have preached to others? I think not and it bothers me when I see a United States Senate race shaping up like the one in...

Oklahoma City–Revisited 14 years later

April 19, 1995 is a day like several other days in our history. I have heard stories of how people who were alive when John F. Kennedy was assassinated were able to remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when news of the shooting arrived. I can remember exactly what was...

The legacy of George W. Bush

Monday, December 8, 2008
By LD Jackson

As we near the end of President Bush’s 2nd and last term in office, I thought it would be fitting to write about the legacy of one of the most maligned Presidents our country has ever had and most certainly, one of the most unpopular Presidents in my lifetime. One of George Bush’s biggest...

About a week and a half ago, President Bush’s Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Paulson, came to Congress and announced we were in the middle of a major economic crisis and asked for $700 billion to straighten the mess out. Since that time, the American taxpayer has been bombarded with the “news” that if...

Mitt Romney is at it again

Tuesday, January 1, 2008
By LD Jackson

Do you remember the reaction Mitt Romney had a few weeks ago when Mike Huckabee did an editorial about the foreign policy of President Bush?  If your memory fails you, Romney came out very strongly and said Huckabee needed to apologize the President.  I want you to take a look at a news story...
