The war on Iraq was a disaster, clearly carried out under false pretences.

I am not a rabid partisan.

When a government goes to war, particularly a democracy, it is the most solemn and awesome responsibility of our leaders – to decide to send our kids to go off and kill and die for us.

The government serves the people – not vice-versa.

Nuclear weapons kill Americans – they don’t kill Republicans or Democrats – they kill Americans.

No longer is there a quest for the truth so much as there is this apparent need to present both sides of an issue even if one is nothing but lies and distortions.

I have long felt that it is readers and viewers of conservative media who could benefit from a more balanced discussion of what is at stake in our policy and the actions of our government.

One must always keep one’s government under control.

I think it’s time for the people and the press, in particular, to be more vigilant about not giving equal weight to lies as they give the truth.

Giving the same value to fiction as to fact in the interest of so-called fairness is to mislead the American people and the press has become party to that.
