Our Nation’s Homeless Veterans

Posted by Tom Skypek in November 11th 2008  

A friend of mine passed along this article about our nation’s homeless veterans and an organization called Pathways to Housing which has been helping to provide housing options and treatment to homeless veterans. John O’Boyle, a Navy veteran, was homeless until just recently:
For 15 years, he was a nomad wandering the streets of his [...]

Holding the Line on Defense Spending

Posted by Tom Skypek in November 9th 2008  

The leadership in Moscow wasted no time in sending their own special, congratulatory message to President-elect Barack Obama by announcing the deployment of short-range missiles on Poland’s border-a NATO member and strident ally of the United States. President-elect Obama has a tremendous opportunity in the coming months to build a perception of credibility on [...]

Bloodletting

Posted by Tom Skypek in November 6th 2008  

Congratulations to President-elect Obama. He won a decisive victory on Tuesday. It is my sincere hope that he makes good on his campaign promises of bipartisanship and governs from the center. I hope that he does not embrace the liberal policy proposals of Nancy Pelosi and Co., such as the Fairness Doctrine [...]

Bankrupt the Coal Industry?

Posted by Tom Skypek in November 3rd 2008  

What’s with Sen. Barack Obama and San Francisco? It seems like the only time we get Sen. Obama’s actual positions on issues is when he’s speaking in the City by the Bay. Remember when he said that folks from rural Pennsylvania “…cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them…” Well, [...]

LA Times Refuses to Release Tape of Obama Praising Controversial “Activist”

Posted by Tom Skypek in October 28th 2008  

From FOXNews.com: 
The Los Angeles Times is refusing to release a videotape that it says shows Barack Obama praising a Chicago professor who was an alleged mouthpiece for the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was a designated terrorist group in the 1970s and ’80s.
According an LA Times article written by Peter Wallsten in April, Obama was [...]

Tough Questions for Joe Biden

Posted by Tom Skypek in October 26th 2008  

It’s refreshing to see the media asking the Obama-Biden ticket some tough questions. But as you can see, tough questions do not go unpunished by the Obama-Biden ticket.

Why Credibility Matters

Posted by Tom Skypek in October 25th 2008  

Joe Biden’s recent remarks at a Seattle fundraiser that, if elected, Barack Obama will be “tested” by an international crisis within his first six months in office underscore the importance of both experience and credibility when selecting a commander-in-chief.  As Bill and Hillary Clinton both noted during the Democratic primary, now is not the time [...]

How Familiar

Posted by Tom Skypek in October 19th 2008  

Of course, the result in the 1948 presidential election turned out to be quite different from the majority of predictions in the run up to the election.  This year’s presidential election has not yet been decided–even though members of the mainstream media and the Obama campaign want you to believe it has.

Chinese Influence in Africa

Posted by Tom Skypek in October 14th 2008  

Here’s an excerpt from a piece I authored recently in The Weekly Standard:
The African continent is quickly becoming a proxy battleground for Washington and Beijing, as the latter’s appetite for emerging markets and raw materials grows. In July 2008, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Eric Edelman told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that “China’s full [...]

Rep. Barney Frank: Wrong on Fannie and Freddie

Posted by Tom Skypek in September 29th 2008  

Today, 95 Democrats and 133 Republicans voted against the bailout legislation before the House of Representatives. In an inaccurate and partisan shot, Rep. Barney Frank said, “The Republicans killed this.” Of course, Rep. Frank conveniently ignores the fact the the legislation was opposed by a significant number of Democrats as well. In [...]

Bailout Language Benefits Democrats, ACORN

Posted by Tom Skypek in September 28th 2008  

Here’s a must-read op-ed from The Wall Street Journal.  It details how groups like groups ACORN are likely to benefit–at taxpayer expense–from the bailout legislation proposed by the Democrats.  ACORN is a “non-partisan” partisan organization that has spent $16 million this year registering Democratic voters.  If you look up “voter fraud” in the dictionary, ACORN will [...]
