The United States And Islamic Theocracies Will Always Butt Heads
Posted on 03. Jun, 2009 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
In a time of great political upheaval in the United States, it is oddly comforting to know that some things always stay the same. Just days ahead of President Obama’s much anticipated speech in Egypt, a voice from the not so distant past has appeared on the world stage. Perhaps it would be more appropriate [...]
Brinkmanship: Diplomacy That Won The Cold War Is Needed Today
Posted on 02. Jun, 2009 by Charles Sullivan in Politics
What are we going to do to stop terrorists from striking again at the United States? If they do hit us again, killing thousands of innocent Americans, how do we retaliate this time? The answer to that difficult question is actually very simple. Yes, the attacks are coming unless they are stopped at the source. [...]
Tea Party a Bit Weak?
Posted on 16. Apr, 2009 by Kate Gryn in Politics
The Boston Tea Party is one of those iconic moments in the history of the American Revolution that every child learns about at an early age and continually revisits during his or her studies of American history. “No Taxation without representation,” was the battle cry of those protesting the Tea Act, a violation of a [...]
U.S.S. Bainbridge Stares Down Pirate Dingy While The World Watches
Posted on 10. Apr, 2009 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
A lopsided standoff in the Indian Ocean seems to only be getting tenser by the hour. A small lifeboat holding four pirates with machine guns and an American hostage face off against a 780 million dollar Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer. These outlaws, from the ‘safety’ of their dead-in-the-water life boat, are demanding 2.5 million [...]
The Anglican Communion Disunion
Posted on 03. Apr, 2009 by Alex Sharp in History
The Anglican Communion may be slowly heading towards a serious schism. At the heart of the problem is acceptance of homosexuals in non-celibate relationships. This is not a new controversy for the Anglican Communion, the collective name for members of the Anglican faith throughout the world, but it is a matter of exponentially increasing concern. [...]
Congress Guts A Real Public Servant
Posted on 19. Mar, 2009 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
A parade of shame took place on Wednesday. Congressional leaders spent hours grilling Edward Liddy about 165 million dollars in bonuses at AIG. It was a scalding session as Liddy answered questions phrased with the bare minimum of civility. As the Q and A ended there was little resolution, and most Americans came away from [...]
Controversy Continues to Plague The Roman Catholic Church
Posted on 14. Mar, 2009 by Alex Sharp in Current Events
The Roman Catholic Church has had an extra share of controversies this year. Rounding out the busy social calendar of first quarter 2009 are the reintegration of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), a Holocaust-denying Bishop, an attempted appointment of ultra-conservative Austrian priest Gerhard Maria Wagner, and a creationist-snubbing council on evolution. Now there’s [...]

Posted on 23. Jan, 2009 by Joseph Fosco in Analysis
In the late afternoon on inauguration day, I contacted my friend and brother-in-Christ, Conrad Black, to express my sorrows regarding his commutation. In his response, he once again surprised me by cataloging a list of worthy avenues that exist for him in his pursuit of justice and freedom. His attitude and disposition remain strong and [...]
The Chicago Way: What The Rest Of The Country Is About To See
Posted on 30. Dec, 2008 by Charles Sullivan in Politics
The end of a year is the traditional time to take a moment to step back from the daily news and reflect on the events of the past year. It is important to look with an intense, accurate retrospection at what happened and appreciate why events unfolded the way they did. This historic election year [...]
The Eternal Flame Via A Burning Cross: Dr. Giacchino’s Sickness Should Be America’s Hope
Posted on 11. Nov, 2008 by Joseph Fosco in Analysis
Freedom of speech and religion are what make the United States of America such a great country (God bless America). This is a double-edged sword, however, as we must tolerate acts that we deem insensitive, inflammatory and downright offensive. The art image that appears at the end of this article is the vision of the [...]
