Pat Robertson

Isn't it ironic that the ACLU, a group I'm sure he abhors, allows Pat Robertson the freedom to speak his mind freely. Doesn't he realize that his point of view, on a worldwide basis, represents a...

Re: Racial profiling alert

Rosa Parks was not a pawn. She trained for the assignment.

You should do a bit of research before you belittle the courageous work of others.

Re: John Wooden

If I remember correctly, back then only conference champions qualified for the tournament. And that wasn't always that easy because USC (tapping my fading memory once again) was often a very good...

Re: I Like To Read Books About War

Two by David Halberstam:

1. The Best and the Brightest
2. War in a Time of Peace

They are focused on the politics and not the battles.

Re: Harriet Miers Speaks

I think you are "confusing the facts with the criteria". I know that means nothing. However, said with conviction, it is rarely challenged.

You are missing one important point. This is a woman who...

Re: Question for history buffs

I enjoy books by Robert Leckie. "None Died in Vain", the Civil War, and "Delivered from Evil", WWII, are two examples. They are pretty much survey books about those wars and the events surrounding...

Re: So I\'m golfing with an NFL Hall of Famer tomorrow

Fred Arbanas, his tight end, was blind in one eye. It seems to me that if Fred's head was turned the wrong way he would not be able to see the pass. Was Len aware of that when deciding whether to...

Re: Creek Indians and Scalping

I'd like to address a couple of points you made.

1. Glibly is a good choice for describing how Nazi and Hitler comparisons are frequently made. It is a subject that requires the utmost care and...

Re: In Defence of Andrew Jackson

Not claiming to be an expert, I would consider Jackson a minor player in comparison to Hitler.

Re: In Defence of Andrew Jackson

It's good to see that someone has read more than the Cliff Notes on Jackson. At first glance, and especially in the values of today, Jackson is an easy target to deride. Evaluating Jackson without a...

Re: Bill Russell....

He was an active participant in the Civil Rights movement. He appeared in the Deep South, Mississippi I believe, where tempers were short and Jim Crow followers were armed.

A couple of good books...

Re: Article Re: Participation In Golf

I wonder if the increase that seems to have peaked around 2000 was caused by Tiger. Once the bandwagoners realized that golf is tougher than it looks (and not cheap), many began to lose interest.

Re: Is Lance the greatest American athlete of all time?

Agree 100%. Played both major league baseball and football for many years. But the record that amazes me the most is that his winning decathlon score in 1912 would still have been good enough for 2nd...

Re: Where would a 14 year old boy want to go with his father?

I have no good ideas for your 14 year old.

However, if you are looking for a golfing trip with your 11 year old someday check out Myrtle Beach, SC. Since we always been a twosome we are usually...

Re: Where would a 14 year old boy want to go with his father?

Golf. It is something you will be able to share as long as you both have your health. If you don't currently play you can learn together.

I started going with my son when he was 13. He is now 25...

Re: Greatest sportman/woman you ever saw perform live?

I played a round of golf with Jackie Robinson at the public course (Hubbard Heights back then) in Stamford, CT. We were both singles and the starter hooked us up.
