Are GOP Leaders Obligated to Condemn Doubters of Obama’s Birth and Beliefs?

“Meet the Press’s” Gregory’s attack on Speaker Boehner was unfair. When there’s a bi-partisan standard in effect, evenly applied, let me know. Continue reading →

Glenn Beck vs. George Soros: Beck Cheats, Soros Wins

Glenn Beck makes his own views seem weaker by using such dishonest tactics against Soros, and, as is often the case with Beck, he also makes his viewers ignorant in the process. George Soros deserves to be admired as someone whose rise shows what is great about America. By representing him as something else and using falsehoods and deceit to do it, Beck proves that he doesn’t fully appreciate the very values he claims to be defending. Continue reading →

Ethics Call To Arms: Fight the “Fuck You!” Culture

Like the colored dots of paint in a George Seurat painting, isolated incidents and clues have begun to converge into a picture, and it is not one of a pleasant day in the park.
