These issues are not really partisan.” Continue reading “Pelosi is unsure that House Democrats will back Syria intervention”

Children that have not been exposed to the world can be corrupted with little or no effort. A paradigm model utilized by Mao was convincing enough to allure millions upon millions to the cause – the tool for indoctrination was Mao’s Little Red book of quotations; an inspirational political and military document.

OBERLIN, Ohio — Oberlin, a bastion of liberalism, is bracing itself to deal with a state gun law that many residents and officials oppose.
City Council is reluctantly mulling a change to its law that prevents firearms in city parks, as it conflicts with an Ohio statute that permits guns in most public places, including parks. If City Council does not rescind the measure, gun owners can take the city to court. Cleveland lost a similar fight over a guns-rights issue in 2010.
