Political Views
By MWC News

Can Disobedience Remain Civil In a Lawless State?
Political Views
By Bob Boldt   

Now that the health care reform nonsense is all but dead and buried, it is time to move on to other matters.  I am actually kind of relieved.  I can finally stop ranting around all pissed off at the latest sell out by Obama and the Democrats.  Oh, haven’t you heard: WE LOST.  I know the last nail has not yet been driven into our coffin, but who needs to stay up late to watch CNN’s report of the latest incident of Obama and the Democrats knuckling under to the demands of Big Pharma and Big Insurance?  Please!

Political Views
By MWC News   

Although the tentacles of Baracktopus have slithered into as many parts of American life as those of his “big government Republican” predecessor, Obama does seem to have much better instincts in foreign policy than George W. Bush. But lest that be seen as damning by faint praise, let’s just say that Obama, like the Washington Redskins football team, is moving the ball down the field but needs to get it over the goal line more often.

The Conyers-Bybee Love Story
Political Views
By MWC News   

There is strong evidence that John Conyers, Patrick Leahy, and most of the rest of us are in love with torture-lawyer Jay Bybee. I'm not talking about sexual love and wouldn't, because people's lives are lost to such bread-and-circuses journalism every day. I'm talking deep personal devotion.
