Marine Reacts to Westboro Baptist Church Win, by Skip Conover In my opinion, the behavior of the members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, who take it upon them selves to picket and protest at the funerals of service members killed in action, is highly inappropriate. I personally cannot understand how they envision that they in any way represent either the teachings of Jesus Christ or Almighty God. Published 07Apr2011, viewed 174 times
How Big Is The Chinese Navy?, by Phil Marks How is the Chinese Navy changing? It is building nuclear powered carriers, new weapons and changing its inward, coastal defence stance to that of a global superpower with a blue-water navy, capable of projecting its power worldwide.

It's Not Jobs - It's Vision, by Scott F Paradis "Where there is no vision, the people perish." Mistakenly however, we, the people, search vainly for answers amongst those least likely to deliver real and enduring solutions: politicians and business leaders. The solutions we seek, the answers we demand, are not within the purview of government nor are they the function of industry. The answers we seek are much closer to home.

In An Economic Crisis - No Room For Fear, by Scott F Paradis America rose to prominence, to preeminence, not by the might of her military, but rather on the inspiration of an idea - the promise of freedom to innovate, to create, to aspire. We turned from that path however. Instead of innovating and advancing, we clung to oil and wagered our futures on finance as the means to sustain prosperity. We set about policing the world. We chose poorly. It is time to choose again. Published 02Mar2011, viewed 180 times

Who Will Be the Heroes of Revolution 2.0?, by Skip Conover It is an unfortunate truth that revolutions for core civil rights are often earned over many years and with the blood of their heroes and
