We Are Being Played!
The increase in violence in Iraq has caused an increase in the rhetoric and actions against the Iranian government. Yet, the majority of the violence directed at Americans is not from the Shia extremists - it is from the Sunni extremists - funded by the Saudis. We are being played. Told that violence is coming from one enemy yet ignoring the ally that pays to kill our soldiers. The government will not allow the truth because oil and money is involved. Yet, what is at stake are the lives of our fighting men and women.

Signing Statements (Part One)
On this episode, I will share with you part one of my review of Presidential Signing Statements. From President Monroe to President Bush, Signing Statements have been used. Although once considered ceremonial and innocuous, I will explain how their use has grown and been abused. I will explain what they are, why they are used, their role and place in history, and how this President has placed them in the forefront of our national attention.
I also want to share a theory with you regarding the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq.
As well, give a quick review of the movie, Amazing Grace that tells the story of William Wilberforce. The man who fought to end the British slave trade.

How Conservatives Betray
On this podcast, we will take a look at how conservative principles and their actions over the past 6 years disprove any of their stated beliefs and serve only to betray the American public. At the heart of their need to win and feel good is an addiction that ultimately betrays all they claim to love and stand for as a group. Included with this podcast is another essay by Irish Catholic Democrat entitled, "What it Means to be a Pro-Life Democrat."
