What Next for the Tea Party Movement?
Opinion by Steve Beren on July 10th, 2009 with 1 Comment so far.FROM JULY 4 TO SEPTEMBER 12
The Independence Day Tea Party protest rallies held throughout the nation and throughout Washington State on the Fourth of July were a important and powerful expression of the growing dissastisfaction of the American people with rising unemployment, reduced value of savings and property, and wasteful spending by the Obama adminstration and congress.
The Torch of Liberty in Iran
Opinion by Steve Beren on June 24th, 2009 with No Comments so far.All those who love liberty are inspired by the courageous Iranian people protesting in the streets for fair elections and freedom for their nation. And those who hate tyranny, our blood boiling, must speak out and sharply condemn the brutal tyranny which is the dictatorship of the “Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Reagan on Poland (1981) vs. Obama on Iran (2009)
Politics by Steve Beren on June 16th, 2009 with No Comments so far.President Ronald Reagan on Poland, December 23, 1981 (in response to the brutal actions of the Polish communist dictatorship in seeking to crush the pro-democracy Solidarity movement):
“I want emphatically to state tonight that if the outrages in Poland do not cease, we cannot and will not conduct business as usual with the perpetrators who aid and abet them. Make no mistakes, their crime will cost them dearly in their future dealings with American and free people everywhere…. We will suspend Polish civil aviation privileges in the United States. We are suspending the right of Polish fishing fleets to operate in American waters. And we are proposing to our allies further restrictions of high technology exports to Poland. These actions are not directed against the Polish people, they are a warning to the government of Poland that free men cannot and will not stand idly by in the face of brutal oppression.”
