Simply by showing up in Washington, you will be making a powerful statement: I am not afraid.

Americans will gather in Washington, DC on 9/11/2013 to reject the post-9/11 politics of fear - and say to the government and media "you can't scare us any more."

There is a horrible speculation that the insurgents in Syria may have seized hold of chemical weapons.

A report published on Sunday in Ha’aretz reveals that US National Security Adviser Tom Donilon has presented Washington's contingency plans for a possible attack on Iran to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once the nuclear negotiations reach an impasse.

Isn’t it time for Washington to recognize that it has become a rogue state and for Hillary to come home, sit down, and stop talking?

Having seen Congress’ love fest for Bibi and the humiliation of President Obama, does anyone think writing to your Congressman is going to accomplish anything?

The tendency is to think of ourselves as "exceptional" Not just "all Americans," mind you, but all people. The Declaration of Independence was meant to be a statement expressing the "self-evident" rights of all mankind. Those principles had a universality that was a beacon to the world. -- Ray McGovern

We need look no further than the politics of the state of Israel to see what extremist religion can do with power. by James M. Wall

I used to work for Democratic candidates. I was a campus activist. I marched in protests. But, in the 1980s, I quit politics. I was fed up. The Left was impotent and inept. They didn’t want to change things. They were content with theater.
