…he inner wall of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty in New York. For decades The Statue of Liberty was usually the first thing refugees and hopeful immigrants saw as their boat entered New York harbor and the waters of the United States. The United States of America was always known as the one place down trodden and persecuted peoples from around the world could come for a new start. Most of you reading this article are decedents of immigrants…

A two-man race? Gingrich and Romney mano-a-mano While the fight for the Republican Party nomination seems to have crystallized, congealed or coagulated into a highly personal blood-match between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, it can also be seen as the continuation of a struggle that has rocked the GOP for the last fifty years. The Republican Party has not been truly united since the days of the paternalistic and ideologically neutral Eisenhower…

I am sitting in my hotel room in Bangkok on a Sunday afternoon; taking a break from prepping a film that will star Djimon Hounsou and be directed by the Steven Spielberg of Thailand, Prachya Pinkaew. Prachya is famous for Om Bak, Chocolat and Tom Yung Goon, three of the highest grossing films in the history of the country. You may be wondering why I am in Thailand and not somewhere in the United States. Why am I in a country 9,000 miles away fr…

Occasionally, I like to write an article historically based and not necessarily based upon events of the day. However, the issues addressed in this article are not just historical. The issue of Nullification and its effects on the United States are far reaching and in reality were probably the cause of the Civil War. There is a strong movement in the country now based upon Nullification and The Tenth Amendment. The Tea Party movement and Ron Pa…

…er. At 8:46 am, the normal hustle and bustle of rush hour in downtown New York came to a horrifying stop as American Airlines flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade center. Seventeen minutes later, at 9:03, United Airlines flight 175 slammed into the South Tower. Minutes later hundreds of emergency personnel responded to the calls for help. While the drama in New York unfolded on National Television a second American Airlines F…

At a recent campaign appearance in Florida, presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich stated, “You cannot ask the people of the United States to (give) you the most powerful governmental job in the world… and not have them vet you carefully and thoroughly.” Shortly thereafter the former House Speaker found himself at the center of a controversy that required some careful and thorough vetting of his own.

…ll country has fought seven wars against vastly superior enemies. They have won them all. They had no choice because each war fought was a war against an enemy that was seeking Israel’s total destruction. With the help of the United States the Israeli government has built the finest standing army in the Middle East. This is one of the reasons the fragile peace has lasted as long as it has. The other is far more sinister; Israel has nukes their su…

…live action film. However, there is one thing about the movie that really upsets me. It is blatantly anti-military and less blatantly Anti-American. Without giving away too much of the plot, the bad guys in the movie are the United States Marines. Apparently, in the future, the world has become one big country that seems to be controlled by the United States. The United States Marines are sent to the planet of Pandora to destroy the opposition t…

“Today, every inhabitant of this planet must contemplate the day when this planet may no longer be habitable. Every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident, or miscalculation, or by madness. The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us.” -John F. Kennedy (JFK) In an address before the General Assembly of the United Nations…
