n the case of constitutional issues the Constitution is sovereign, and/or "We the People" by amending it by the process provided in that Constitution, not a branch of the federal government which is ignoring it. We the People created the federal government enabled by the founding document the federal U.S. Constitution. The Congress or the President cannot arbitrarily ignore the U.S. Constitution and those branches of the federal government cannot hide behind sovereign.. |
If you recognize that Obama failed to vigorously and immediately support the pro-freedom demonstrators in Iran, take a look at his attitude toward those suffering under the Castro dictatorship. An extraordinary editorial ran in the liberal Washington Post on Thursday, June 25, about the indifference of the Obama White House to the plight of those who believe in freedom just 90 miles from our... |
Hugo Chávez's coalition-building efforts suffered a setback yesterday when the Honduran military sent its president packing for abusing the nation's constitution. It seems that President Mel Zelaya miscalculated when he tried to emulate the success of his good friend Hugo in reshaping the Honduran Constitution to his liking. But Honduras is not out of the Venezuelan woods yet. Yesterday the Central.... |
This is exactly what is going on in Cuba to the political prisoners in Cuba at the present moment. This is a plead (In Spanish) from an 81 year old mother, Gloria Amaya , a plead for medical attention for her dying son, Sigler Amaya. This is reality in the prisons of Cuba. Where are the Human Rights organizations, where is the The UN Human Rights Council, where is the so-called Representatives of the Black Caucus, where is the Main Stream Media. These organizations should all be held accountable... |
NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR OPENS with one of the most famous first lines in modern English literature -- the vaguely unnerving "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen." The line it ends with is even more famous, and considerably more sinister: "He loved Big Brother." George Orwell's brilliant, bitter novel turns 60 this month, but after all these years it has lost none of its nightmarish chill. Its hero is the decidedly unheroic Winston Smith , a weak and wistful man who lives in the totalitarian police state of Oceania, which is ruled by the Party -- personified in Big Brother, whose intimidating image is.. |

Various la-la land conservatives and moderates assured us that Obama, despite a career spent in the Left's fever swamps, is really a "pragmatist" who would govern from the center. They pooh-poohed us knuckle-draggers who doggedly pointed to his radical intimates, like Hamas-apologist Rashid Khalidi. I wonder what they're thinking today as Obama takes time out from destroying the economy to send $900M from the mint's busy printing press to Hamas.... |

HAVANA — Raul Castro dismissed Barack Obama's policy changes toward Cuba as "achieving only the minimum," and said Wednesday that it is up to the U.S. — not Cuba — to do more to improve relations. The Cuban president suggested the communist government is not willing to appease Washington by embracing small political and social reforms on the island, saying in a speech before an international gathering of government ministers that "it is not Cuba who has to make gestures."..... |
Por más de 75 años las funciones capitalinas fueron extraídas de su matriz urbana sin que existieran ni el deseo ni la conciencia hacia la recuperación espacial del pasado.

Ooooh! How could I say that? Well first of all, the word “Suck” and “Sucks” is used very frequently and has become a common slang word in our crippling English language, here in America. Presently, it is used on our streets, on TV, on Radio and in Movies. This word “Sucks” has several meanings in our present language and all of these meanings are related in respect to it’s negativity to who or what you are applying it to. Basically, when anyone uses this word in the right context, when one wants to describe and reflect their disgust towards someone or something or to some sort of event.... |
The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, a non-profit educational organization, was established by an Act of Congress to build a memorial in Washington, D.C. to commemorate the more than 100 million victims of communism. The Victims of Communism Memorial was dedicated by President George W. Bush on June 12, 2007. The dedication ceremony featured the unveiling of the "Goddess of Democracy," a bronze replica of a statue erected by Chinese students in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China in the spring of 1989. Many world leaders have already visited the memorial site to pay their respects and lay wreaths. It is located at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and New Jersey Avenue, NW on Capitol Hill in.... |
.....These millions now have absolutely no voice in the way our country is being governed. No say in the quadrupling of our debt or in the onerous taxes being piled on top of record unemployment. They have no say in the pending trillion dollar health care 'reform' or the more costly 'cap and trade' legislation steadily making its way through Congress. With Democrats firmly in control of the White House and the House of Representatives, and most likely the Senate, the left has found no need for bipartisanship. After all, 'Obama won.' Case.... |

Cuba is a totalitarian police state which relies on repressive methods to maintain control. These methods, including intense physical and electronic surveillance of Cubans, are also extended to foreign travelers. Americans visiting Cuba should be aware that any encounter with a Cuban could be subject to surreptitious scrutiny by the Castro regime's secret police , the General Directorate for State Security (DGSE). Also, any interactions with average Cubans, regardless of how well intentioned the American may be, can .. |
The question that’s been preying on my mind is who is best suited to study those strange beings known as liberals. It strikes me that they’d be fit subjects for psychiatrists, who might be in a position to figure out why they revere the people they do — people such as Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Al Gore and Ted Kennedy — men who haven’t a single notable.... |

Nineteen Eighty-Four with Cuba in MindBy Jose Reyes This is how George Orwell’s book Nineteen Eighty-Four begins and probably where the Castro so-called scholars in charge of reading, classifying and categorizing all the literature in Cuba’s libraries began to realize how “dangerous” it would be for their personal revolution. But then again, Fidel and Raul most likely had read this book already since it was published in 1949. As soon as one begins to read this.. |

The UN Inhumane Rights CouncilBy Jose Reyes The UN Human Rights Council is a total disgrace to term human rights itself and should appropriately be renamed to “The UN Inhumane Rights Council.” The United Nations should not exist because it violates the exact purpose and reason why it was established and created.

Pero ¿la bronca de los cubanos, con quién es?: ¿con los norteamericanos? Que yo sepa el oficial que me interrogó y me amenazó conque me pudriría en la cárcel o con el destierro forzado y luego dio órdenes de hostigarme y perseguirme por haber propagado ideas contrarrevolucionarias, no estaba bajo las órdenes de la C. I. A. ni del F. B. I. sino del Ministerio del Interior de Cuba. Ni era un agente de los servicios secretos del país más poderoso del mundo el que intentó matarme al atropellarme con su jeep en la calle Panorama del barrio capitalino de Nuevo Cerro, el 28 de octubre de 1996 |

Uno siente que algo se revuelve alrededor cuando baja con un ramo de flores por la calle. Las miradas son tiralíneas que se clavan en la figura de un hombre, todavía con pinta de treintañero, pero ya con ese aire de hombre casado, de tipo que no compra flores para enamorar ni para felicitar. El aire de quien compra flores porque le gusta llevarlas a casa.... |
