Illegal Immigration and Indifference

Feb 13, 2010 3:13pm

What happens to a nation when it no longer has the will or courage to defend its culture? What becomes of a country that jettisons its laws in favor another system of laws completely alien to their own out of fear or perceived tolerance? What is the destiny of a...

Haiti: A Global Tragedy

Jan 22, 2010 7:21pm

Haiti has a population of approximately 9 million people. Almost 60% of its population is between 15 and 64 years of age. 39% is under 15 years old. Around 5% of its adult population has been infected with HIV/AIDS. 90% of the island nation’s children suffer from some form of...

2009: A Look Back and A Look To The Future

Jan 2, 2010 7:54pm

I can’t believe another year is already over. Heck, the first decade of the 21st century is already over, and what a decade it was! When I was a little kid, I used to figure up how old I would be when the 21st century rolled around and tired to...

Obama Picks Up Peace Prize

Dec 10, 2009 5:41pm

On December 10, 2009, Obama flew to Oslo Norway to pick up his Nobel Peace Prize. In his acceptance speech, Obama acknowledged that his contributions were “slight” compared to all those who came before him, and he went on to reference such great individuals as Gandhi, George C. Marshall, Nelson...

9/11 Terrorists to be Tried in NYC

Nov 21, 2009 1:56pm

Eric Holder, who is Obama’s US Attorney General, testified before Congress on November 18th that is was his intent to bring the 9/11 cowards…err…terrorists to New York, where they will be tried in federal court for their murderous acts. When questioned about the apparent absurdity of his action and possibility...

New York’s 23rd Congressional Race and Future of the GOP

Nov 2, 2009 6:46pm

The race for New York’s 23rd Congressional District has got to be one of the important elections to come along since the election of Obama; perhaps even more so. However, ever since the election of Ronald Reagan, the Grand Ole Party has shifted further and further to right, especially on...

Nobel Committee Blunders

Oct 17, 2009 1:34pm

Now, I’m the first guy who likes to see Americans get the Nobel Peace Prize, but don’t you actually have to do something to earn it? So, what exactly did Obama do during the ten days between the time he was sworn in a President and the cut off date...

Illegal Immigration and the Southern Poverty Law Center: Sending the Wrong Message?

Oct 4, 2009 6:18pm

Here’s a really interesting article I received from FAIR, the Federation for Immigration Reform folks. I’m sure most of you are familiar with the Southern Poverty Law Center. If not, let me give you a brief history lesson. The SPLC came out of the civil rights movement as way to...

Politics and Religion: Poll Results

Sep 27, 2009 4:50pm

We just concluded our poll, which was posted on September 1, along with our article "Politics and Religion: Reaping the Whirlwind". The poll asked our readers if they believed the wall between church and state should remain; come down; on be weakened. The vote is in and our readers overwhelmingly...

Illegal Immigration, Obama’s HealthCare and You: Truth and Consequences.

Sep 19, 2009 5:33pm

President Obama’s healthcare plan continues to make the news, and while most Americans would agree that our nation’s healthcare infrastructure is in shambles, few Americas want to see those here illegally become eligible for any portion of taxpayer benefits. In fact, a number of leading Democrats have quietly begun backing...

Politics and Religion: Reaping the Whirlwind

Sep 1, 2009 4:55pm

There’s line I seem to recall from Frank Herbert’s wonderful futuristic book, Dune, which goes approximately like this, “When religion and politics ride together in the same chariot, a whirlwind is sure to follow”. Now, that may not be an exact quote, but the meaning is clear enough. When politics...

Illegal Immigration and Open Borders

Aug 15, 2009 5:28pm

Our last issue dealt with Obama’s Healthcare plan, which includes language requiring working Americans to pay not just for those without healthcare, but for illegal immigrants as well. Well, it gets worse. It’s becoming increasingly more difficult to arrest illegal aliens crossing the border as you’ll read in these attached...

Illegal Immigration: Amesty and Obama's Health Care Plan

Jul 25, 2009 11:16am

I bet most of you never heard of the other Democrat Senator from New York, Chuck Schumer. Well, I think you might want to remember the name since I expect Senator Schumer will be making the talk show circuit in the upcoming months. Senator Schumer recently said the thought our...

Employee Free Choice Act---The Pope Says So!

Jul 8, 2009 4:09pm

Here's an interesting article I came across on the AFL-CIO News Blog site. A few weeks ago, a coalition of Philadelphia-area rabbis and rabbinical students, along with the Philadelphia Jewish Labor Commitee, called on former Republican and now Democrat Arlen Spector to support the EFCA. Now comes the Pope! Enjoy...

Iran, North Korea, and Sonia Sotomayor: A Political Potpourri

Jun 21, 2009 6:51pm

Rather than focus on one central topic as we usually do, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at three events happening around the world, and where better to start than Iran? Iran and I Lost: Tehran Gone WildWith the conclusion of the recent presidential elections in...

English Not Required For Kentucky Roads

Jun 2, 2009 9:35pm

Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear was set to do the right thing. Governor Beshear had approved making the Kentucky driving test in English. Not only would it encourage immigrants of all stripes to learn our nation’s language, but it would have saved desperately need taxpayer money for other projects. However, at...

Hello dear reader. Thank you for stopping by to read the 100th edition of Another Opinion. Yelp, you read that right. This is the 100th edition of AO. I can’t believe time has flown by so quickly. There have been so many stories, and so many insightful comments from people...

The 2010 Census and Illegal Immigration

Apr 12, 2009 5:32pm

Now, you really wouldn’t think something as mundane as a census would generate much interest outside perhaps some Trivial Pursuit questions for most us. But the 2010 census is expected to be a major political “hot potato” in upcoming months. The reason why is over illegal immigration. Open border advocates...

Educating the Poor and Illegal

Mar 29, 2009 12:52pm

Should taxpayers foot the bill to educate the children of illegal aliens? Perhaps to put it another way, should the children bear the crimes of their parents? Most of the individuals here in violation of US immigration policy do indeed work. In fact, they work long hard days with very...

America: A Dual Nation?

Mar 14, 2009 3:08pm

Writing a blog like Another Opinion attracts the attention of a lot of people. Not surprisingly, I receive a lot of articles from different organizations and individuals. Some are basically doom and gloom types looking for any opportunity to tell us that we should all be bending over and kissing...

Covey, author of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal bestseller, The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything will be hosting an exclusive free one hour webinar interview conducted by Todd Langton, president of Linkage.

LG&E Turns Off Customers

Feb 28, 2009 10:55am

You would think that in these trying times, a publicly owned utility company would be a little more consumer friendly and understanding. Well, apparently not at Louisville Gas and Electric in Louisville Kentucky. For years, the local utility company allowed slight modifications in payment dates since the typical customer is...

Illegals May Get Stimulus Checks

Feb 3, 2009 5:40pm

The Obama sponsored Economic Stimulus Package appears to be less than it seems (or perhaps more) when it comes to illegal aliens. The $800 billion deal could direct some of our taxpayer based money to illegal immigrants. How you ask? The legislation, which would direct a tax credit of $500...

The Economy

Jan 11, 2009 6:00pm

The headline was frightful: Job losses in 2008 hit 2.6 million people. That’s nearly 7% of the population. As I walked back from by mailbox in the coldness of the morning, all I could think of was all those people facing an uncertain future in the middle of a brutally...

Where Does America Stand?

Dec 26, 2008 4:15pm

You know, I bet former presidential candidate John McCain has been thanking his lucky stars everyday since losing to Barak Obama. It seems things are worse…far worse than we were led to believe. If Obama succeeds in revitalizing the economy, stabilizing global relations, and securing our borders, he will go...
