Giuliani attacks Democratic health plans as 'socialist'

Politics – Giuliani: "That's a European way of doing something; that's frankly a socialist way of doing something. That's why when you hear Democrats in particular talk about single-mandated health care, universal health care, what they're talking about is socialized medicine. Government cannot take care of you. You've got to take care of yourself."

10 States Introduce Impeachment

Politics – In 10 U.S. states, either this year or last year or both, the state legislature has introduced and considered, though not yet passed, a bill to petition the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach Bush and Cheney. The question, of course, is what in the heck is wrong with the other 40 states? We can't find a single state legislator with the decenc

Bush versus Benedict: Delusion Confronts Reality

Politics – Benedict has put his finger on the crux of Bush's flawed and simplistic gnosticism. Iraqi society is not pure evil. Nor is America - which Bush sees personified in himself as the "Decider" - pure good. The claim might serve a useful propaganda purpose, but it is dangerous if taken seriously.

Why don't we talk about hell any more, asks the Pope

Religion – For centuries it has been one of the Catholic Church's favourite topics. But the Pope has given a fresh reminder to his flock that Hell is hell and bemoaned the fact that it rarely gets talked about these days. The 79-year old pontiff used a Mass in the gritty Fidene suburb of Rome to put damnation back on the agenda. "Jesus came to tell us e

Is there any truth to 'the enemy would follow us here?'

Politics – It's become President Bush's mantra, his main explanation for why he won't withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq anytime soon. In speech after speech, in statement after statement, Bush insists that "this is a war in which, if we were to leave before the job is done, the enemy would follow us here." But is it true?

Commentary: What would Jesus really do?

Religion – When did it come to the point that being a Christian meant only caring about two issues,Ã;­ abortion and homosexuality? Poverty? Whatever. Homelessness? An afterthought. A widening gap between the have and have-nots? Immaterial. Divorce? The divorce rate of Christians mirrors the national average, so that's no big deal.

17-year-old gets 10 years in prison for sex with 15-year-old

News – The travesty continues. Despite a national outcry to help Genarlow Wilson, the Georgia teen sentenced to ten years in prison for engaging in consensual sex with a 15-year-old girl when he was 17, the state legislature recessed last week without addressing the issue. Even though that body has already changed the law to make his "crime" a m
