I wish I could say something different about Jimmy Carter’s recent trip to Cuba. It would have been great, as Aramis Perez wrote in a Fox Latino piece, if President Carter would have boldly and correctly announced his desire for free and fair elections, his unwavering support of the peaceful dissident movement in Cuba and [...]

Some days ago I posted on two columns in the Miami Herald concerning same-sex marriage, one by Archbishop Thomas Wenski defending traditional marriage and the other by a gay journalist rebutting the Archbishop. There are few topics that will bring out true intolerance and hatred like same-sex vs. traditional marriage, much of it from the [...]

There’s so much to dissect in Daniel Shoer Roth’s latest mind-boggling column that I will break it up into parts instead of roll out the whole thing. The title: Gov. Scott Pushing Florida Toward Fundamentalism, should give you a quick hint at what’s to come: Florida is on its way to fundamentalism. Gov. Rick Scott [...]

Larry Elder chimes in on President Obama’s decision to participate in military actions against Libya without the consent of Congress, despite the president’s past objections to military actions without Congressional approval. Elder also points out the lack of consistency in the arguments of the virulent anti-Bush left regarding this latest action: The non-unilateralist Nobel Peace [...]

In the wake of last week’s recall of Carlos Alvarez and Natacha Seijas, I expressed a desire that real, meaningful change has to go well beyond the removal of a mayor and a county commissioner. In doing so, I expressed some doubt that our current system can be changed so easily, especially when not everybody [...]

Recently in the Miami Herald two opinion pieces were published regarding the issue of same-sex marriage. The first one was penned by Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski, and the second a few days later by former TV anchorman Charles Perez. Needless to say, Abp.

Haven’t mentioned anything about the still-unfolding disaster in Japan. What CAN you say, except to pray for a country which has seen it’s share of horrors over the years and has bravely and resolutely risen from the ashes.

Regardless of what you think of Carlos Alvarez, his bad decisions, stubbornness and often-poor leadership, I believe he’s a good man who failed, like so many of us. His departing statement to the county was classy, IMO: (MIAMI, March 15, 2011) – It has been an honor and privilege to serve this community for the [...]
