The Dishonor of Militarism

The Dishonor of Militarism

What a blown opportunity! Glenn Beck gathered thousands of people at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday to urge a restoration of American honor -- but not once did he mention the most egregious assault on America's honor: militarism.

Under the guise of the "war on terror" those things have stained this country's reputation -- perhaps beyond repair. Yet judging by the speeches at Beck's rally, you would never know they were happening. He and his fans must think those things don't dishonor America.

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR (AP) – 16 hours ago

WASHINGTON — More than half a dozen states suing to overturn President Barack Obama's health care law are also claiming its subsidies for covering retired state government employees, according to a list released Tuesday by the administration.

About 2,000 employers have been approved for the extra help to cover early retirees, mainly private businesses. But the list also includes seven states suing to overturn the health care overhaul as an unconstitutional power grab by the federal government.

Freedom to build a Mosque

I am surprised to read so many conservatives and tea partiers enraged over the concept of an Islamic Mosque being erected in the close proximity to “ground zero” (the former World Trade Center location). While the personal opinions of many, which state that a Mosque so close to the World Trade Center’s location is reminder to many of the hatred that we experienced at the hands of a few radical and extremist Muslims may sting as we remember the attacks of 9/11, we must also remember something else: the U.S. Constitution and the freedom of religion that it encompasses.
