Voice of North America Articles

EXCERPT: Conservatism, at least in the U.S., used to conjure up descriptors such as small government, fiscally responsibe, business friendly, and moral values. This is being generous, since the word also brought to mind other descriptors such as racism, militarism, corporatism, and wiretaps. Hmmm, in terms of the negative characteristics, very little has changed.
Anyway, Conservatism first mutated into cancer starting with the Reagan years, grew larger during the Gingrich days, and now...

EXCERPT: Dear Mr. Rove,
Last Friday you appeared at a Republican fundraiser in New Hampshire and accused Democratic critics of the Iraq war effort of “cutting and running.” You also said of Rep. John Murtha and Sen. John Kerry: “They may be with you for the first shots, but they’re not going . . . to be with you for the tough battle.”
Well Mr. Rove, at least both of these men were there for the first shots. When the first shots rang out in Vietnam, you were nowhere to be found. When the...

EXCERPT: It is not very often that I find myself praising George W. Bush. In fact, I cannot recall the last time. However I must give credit where credit is due, and Bush’s decision to designate a 140,000 square-mile area of ocean real estate, including a large portion of the Northwest Hawaiian Island chain, a protected marine reserve should be unequivocally lauded.
The region, encompassing a 1200 mile stretch of the Sandwich Islands extending northwest from Kauai to include the Midway and...

EXCERPT: The Bush Administration crystal ball has been in disrepair for almost six years now. Here are some of the more memorable prognostications that failed to bear fruit. Were these the lies spoken by Death Eaters, or are they the muggle divinations of Hogwarts dropouts who failed their O.W.L. examinations?

“We're going to find those evildoers, those barbaric people who attacked our country, and we're going to hold them accountable."
- George W. Bush, September 17, 2001
"I...

EXCERPT: Those damn liberals. They’re against mandatory prayer in public schools. They’re opposed to using taxpayer money to pay for private religious school vouchers. Most of them think the ACLU actually does more good than harm. You will hear them go on and on about checks and balances, as if the President actually doesn’t know best.
They think that the Press should be able publish editorials and opinions that are critical of government policies, and that whistleblowers exposing...

EXCERPT: When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to express their complete and utter frustration in the face of mindless disruptive attacks by another deeply disturbed man, and in the face of repeated appeals to the said individual to respect the opinions of mankind, the people continue to be denied their separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, then they must appeal to the powers of the earth (a.k.a. Voice of...

EXCERPT: William,
Please do not get in the habit of posting every one of your comments as a separate article. I wrote an article yesterday and posted it late evening. No doubt, I spent slightly more time composing it than you did putting together your latest three sentence pitch for congress.
And this morning my latest literary forte is nowhere to be found on the front page, instead displaced by yet another provocatively titled article like: Its Sunday Now, Are We, You Wouldn't Believe, and...

EXCERPT: I am going to make an uncharacteristically bold move. I am using this platform to announce, definitively, once and for all; that I am firmly against assassinating President Bush, Tony Blair, or any other head of state. I know that I am taking a risk here, removing options from the table, and I may regret this decision in the future, but that’s just the way I feel. Don’t try to change my mind. As things stand today, I’m simply not for killing them - end of story.
What motivated me...

EXCERPT: For any that listened to the Voice of Arizona Radio Show this Saturday, you may have missed the world premiere of the “Who Said That?” game. It came towards the end of the hour, and apparently the internet stream went out for the last 15 minutes, leaving everyone outside of a five block radius of the KPHX 1480 studio listening to static.
The game had a less than auspicious debut. Little know real-life quotes of our President, George W. Bush, were mixed in with infamous and notorious...

EXCERPT: My fellow Americans:
It's official. I will be on the Voice of Arizona show on KPHX 1480 this Saturday at 10am. Apparently it doesn't take much to receive an invitation - you sign up to post at voiceofarizona.com and you're automatically invited. It's like being asked to go look at a timeshare, or getting a letter from Ed McMahon. But to me, it is a privilege nonetheless. I am proud to participate in any small way to Air America Phoenix because the people at this station are truly...
