It is hard to imagine what kind of journalistic explosion would have occurred if the Bush administration tried anything like this. One might... http://www.herblondon.org/7776/mosque-on-sacred-ground Mon, 2 Aug 2010 09:00:00 EST September 11 lives for downtown residents of New York. The World Trade Center site is a constant reminder of human malevolence. It also speaks to political incompetence, of politicians compromised by double dealing and arrogance. While the site shows... http://www.herblondon.org/7751/common-man-common-sense Mon, 26 Jul 2010 09:00:00 EST If there was one overarching goal of the Marxist project, it was refashioning human nature. Whether religion or politics, the Marxists argued that an obsession with God and a belief in national identity had to be challenged and defeated.

War clouds are on the horizon and like conditions prior to World War I all it takes for explosive action to commence is a trigger. Turkey's provocative flotilla - often described in Orwellian... http://www.herblondon.org/7621/swedish-illusions Thu, 17 Jun 2010 09:00:00 EST There is a contagion of madness in Western Europe.
