Stars
of Band Aide Reunite to Fight Ebola
By
James
Hirsen
The
original Band Aid was a charity-induced supergroup founded in 1984 by Bob
Geldof and Midge Ure. Geldof was the lead singer of the Boomtown Rats in the
late 1970s and early 1980s, and Ure was the frontman of Ultravox. The celebrity
musicians joined forces for a noble cause, and that was to raise money to fight
hunger in Ethiopia. The release of the song "Do They Know It’s
Christmas?" was the primary vehicle used to generate financial
contributions. Some are wondering whether the new version of Band Aid will turn
out to be like the original, falling short of its loftier goals. Time will
tell, but doing something beats the alternative. [more...]
Congress vs. the President - An Election Mandate and
Next Steps
The
elections sent a clear message to Washington. In fact, I think it gave a
very powerful and historical mandate to political leaders. Given that
mandate, Congress will have the wisdom, the courage and the strength
to follow through on the 2014 election mandate. I anticipate these are the
next steps... [more...]
Why
Does Obama Hate African-Americans and Jews?
On
this past Election Day, President Obama got 89% support from black voters and
66% support from Jewish voters. Why are African-Americans and Jews voting
against their own self-interest? As an American (and a Jew), I couldn’t think
of a more dangerous or damaging plan towards African-Americans or Jews than the
one being carried out by Obama. Obama’s plan to give amnesty to millions of
illegal aliens will not greatly affect my life as a successful businessman.
However, it will it crush the lives of millions of poor and lower income black
Americans, especially those striving and working hard to escape poverty and
achieve the American dream. After six years of Obama’s presidency,
African-American unemployment is more than double that of whites. Obama’s
policies haven’t provided jobs (obviously), but has caused record levels of
welfare, food stamps, disability and other handouts from government. And how about Jewish Americans? Israel’s
right to exist is of paramount importance to most American Jews. The list is
long of things Obama has said and done which indicate that he is no friend of
Israel. [more...]
Policy
Impacted by Politics
Old
videos of Jonathan Gruber, MIT economics professor and architect of Obamacare,
speaking in detail about the Affordable Care Act recently set off a political
firestorm. These speeches offered some much needed insight into how policy is
impacted by politics - and the ultimate motive behind the structure and plans
of the Affordable Care Act. Despite Gruber calling American voters
"stupid," I do not think this true. The American people are not
stupid; they have been ignorant. It is time we educate ourselves, so that we
may take the necessary steps towards socio-economical self-empowerment and to
then be capable of taking responsibility for this nation's present state and
potential future. I think a shift in the American people and their governmental
power paradigm is not only essential, but crucial for our sustainability as
well as for the sake of us remaining a substantial nation respectable by world
standards. [more...]
Is
Lying Just a Part of Being a Democrat?
By
Joe
Messina
Do
you really think the White House knew nothing of what Professor Gruber
said? You know - that the healthcare bill was drafted to hide the fact that it
was a tax and that they were banking on the ignorance of the American people's
blind trust in the president? Do you really think that Mr. Reid, Mrs. Pelosi
and Mr. Biden didn't know how they were going to have to prostitute themselves
to sell this to the American people? They launched a campaign to mislead us
into thinking that Republicans hate women, Republicans hate minorities, and
that, simply put, Republicans only love the one-percenters. The sad thing about
all of this is that it's this Administration and this group of legislative
Democrats who think the American people are too stupid to figure it out on
their own. Their actions and words prove it. They would be found guilty in a
court of law for all the lies they've told. [more...]
