Right to Life Vs. Right to VP

-
Ryan appears to have borrowed Romney's Etch-A-Sketch.

Per news reports Romney believes abortion should be legal in cases of rape or incest, or when the mother’s life is in danger. Ryan's position is all abortions, except if the mother's life is in danger, should be illegal.

Paul Ryan believes that getting an abortion is taking of a human life and is wrong. Ryan has effectively stated that he will overlook the taking of "innocent lives" because his running mate has deemed it to be OK and Romney is after all the head of the Republican ticket.

How can Ryan remain part of a ticket if it is going against one of his core beliefs? If he is not willing to take a stance on "life" on what other core beliefs is he willing to sacrifice to become Vice President?

    Can it possibly be that Mr. Ryan is first and foremost a politician and not the "devout" Catholic he's been posing as? Or has he salved his conscience and will hide from his record in order to get elected because he then can do the country so much good by unveiling his deeply held pro-life position.

    He then is even a bigger hypocrite. Playing with life is about as serious as you can get. If you cave in on this subject it means you will cave on just about anything.

China And The Five Baits

If you are under the age of 50 you should be concerned about China from an economic and global power standpoint. Some believe China is seeking peace with the rest of the world. Based on their long history, I am not convinced. For China long term is hundreds of years and for the United States it is the next election cycle. China's focus is always on the long term. Much of this post is drawn from a book,  On China , written by Henry Kissinger, the Secretary of State under President Nixon and a research paper of the National Intelligence Council titled  Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds . Whether the future will prove China's desire for peaceful co-existence depends on whether its middle class will sufficiently benefit from economic growth and not allow their leadership to throw it away by creating enemies with trading partners.  This requires the country becoming more democratic and less inclined to be a threat to the remainder of the world.  The jury is still looking

Keep Freedom on The Internet!

Net neutrality under attack:   Don't let Verizon and Google dictate the future of the Internet. Contact the FCC! This post reflects a comment received from Common Cause. It is time to stand up with them and keep the internet free . As the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) considers how to write the rules to protect freedom and openness on the Internet,   who should they turn to: consumers like you and me, or the oligopolistic telecommunications companies?   Verizon and Google announced this week that they have it all figured out when it comes to net neutrality.* They unveiled a policy framework that would give telecom companies the right to speed up or slow down certain kinds of content, and to block outright  applications or content on wireless networks.

Save Some Art or Save Detroit

  This is something I wrote back in 2014 while Detroit was struggling with a bankruptcy. I profess not to know the value of all the art held at the Detroit Institute of Art (DIA). Further, I do not know how much of the art is owned by the city of Detroit. I think we should find out and use it in the best way possible to save Detroit and its citizens. I  commend all the foundations and the state of Michigan who have stepped up with hundreds of millions of dollars in proposed contributions to save the DIA and the art work that it holds. Is the plan presented to the creditors concerning these donations and the leveraging of the art the best way to save Detroit and its citizens? Is saving the artwork more important than saving the city and its citizens? Stephen Henderson of the Detroit Free Press made a valid point with his editorial titled “ Detroit’s Rebirth Must Include More Than Downtown, Midtown “. Detroit will not succeed  if it does not cultivate a middle class and we cannot wait de
