    By David Glenn Cox
    The river of time cuts deeply into the banks, dictating course over current. What is today fresh, muddy ground, becomes tomorrow bedrock. When Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon after the Watergate scandal he said that he did so to end our long national nightmare. The nightmare was not ours but Richard Nixon’s. We, as Americans, had just witnessed our Constitution work as its founders had intended.
    So what if a sick, old, politically disgraced man was allowed to go (…)

From Dec. 27, 2008 to Jan. 18, 2009, in a 22 day rampage, about 1,400 innocent Gazan civilians, many of them children—Christian and Muslim alike—were slaughtered by (…)

    Arab Israelis are said (by Israelis) to have equal rights to Jewish Israelis; though there are Israelis who challenge that. It really doesn’t matter much if the Sahara is wealthy or poor. The legal status is (…)
