  • America : a superpower no more
    19 April 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    Decline is occurring more rapidly than we think. It’s time to embrace a new agenda.
    By Walter Rodgers from the April 8, 2009 edition
    OAKTON, VA. - Two American icons, General Electric and Berkshire Hathaway, lost their triple-A credit ratings. Then China, America’s largest creditor, called for a new global currency to replace the dollar just weeks after it demanded Washington guarantee the safety of Beijing’s nearly $1 trillion debt holdings.

  • Dispatches From the Front
    17 April 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    It is a curiosity, these things which hide from us and call out to us, like someone who knows us all too well. While we move swiftly their call makes us pick up our pace even more and pretend not to hear them at all. America is a nation afraid of itself, afraid to slow down out of fear of what we will see. It is a nation in love with its own image, afraid that the truth will show us to be more than just a liar.

    6002 04/13/2009 America Has Lost Its Moral Compass, Again: An Open to My Fellow Citizens Sam Hamod, Ph.D. I write this open letter with sadness at how far our country has fallen from what it claims to be. This is not to say that we have ever or always truly lived up to our stated ideals as a nation, but things are worse than ever at this time. To be frank, our national and international priorities are wrong, they are upside down. We have lost our moral compass, again...
