Who would have thought we'd ever have to resurrect the peace sign? After all we had supposedly learned about intractable quagmires through our invasion and escalation of Viet Nam until Congress defunded the war and our troops pulled out, who would have thought a President would ever order our fellow citizens into armed conflict with no clear objective, for no defined reason, with ever-changing justification? "Who'da thunk?" Once the iconic image of the peace movement of the 60s, it is as needed today as it was then to remind ourselves we need to act to stop the suffering and violence occurring in our name in a remote region of the world.

George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and John McCain all agree that the United States ought to close Guantánamo. But how can we expand a position that has been little more than a bumper sticker--"Close Guantanamo!"--and turn it into a blueprint for real policy change? This report outlines an answer to this question.

It will likely fall to the next administration to carry out this new policy. The challenges are considerable, and there is no "silver bullet." In fact, there are only imperfect options. That said, Sarah Mendelson and the CSIS Working Group on Guantanamo and Detention Policy have concluded that the costs of keeping Guantanamo open far outweigh the costs of closing it. They recommend that the process of closing Guantanamo should be achieved through a policy called R2T2:

Review
Release/Transfer
Try

During his first week in office, the next president should announce the date for closure of Guantanamo as a detention facility in conjunction with announcing the establishment of a new policy. Implementation of this new policy would be charged to a blue-ribbon panel of eminent Americans tasked to review the files on all remaining Guantánamo detainees. The duties of the panel would include categorizing all detainees to be released or transferred to the custody of another government or, alternatively, to be held for prosecution in the U.S. criminal justice system, whose record in international terrorism cases far outshines that of the Guantánamo military commissions. Since 2001, the U.S. criminal justice system has convicted 145 terrorist suspects, whereas the military commissions, thus far, have only convicted two. Overall, this straightforward policy--R2T2--can help restore our reputation as a country that is built on and embraces the rule of law.

How long is it proper to leave bumper stickers from a political campaign on? At some point, keeping the stickers on for the losing candidate is counter productive. It shows an unwillingness to accept the results of the election and it is divisive. I am just not sure at what point, time wise, it becomes a problem. This question is posted in etiquette, not politics. I know I have every RIGHT to leave the stickers on, but I feel that at a certain point it becomes classless. (more...)

Here are some of my favorite bumper stickers: Gun control means using both hands. (pic of Bill and Hillary with caption:) Dual airbags Smile! Your mom chose life Someone recently sent me an email with the following quotes: 'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.'- Ronald Reagan 'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'-Ronald Reagan 'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.' - Ronald Reagan 'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.'- Ronald Reagan 'I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.' - Ronald Reagan 'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.' - Ronald Reagan 'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.' - Ronald Reagan 'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.' - Ronald Reagan 'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.' - Ronald Reagan 'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it' - Ronald Reagan 'Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.' - Ronald Reagan 'No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.'- Ronald Reagan 'If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.'- Ronald Reagan Your quotes don't have to be Republican. I will appreciate quotes from either side. (more...)

BOSTON ? A dueling barrage of bumper stickers, yard signs and phone calls is raining down on the people of Massachusetts, giving the pros and cons of a ballot measure that would do away with the state's income tax. See the story at: http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-10-28-masstax_N.htm Should we change our taxation system from one based on income to one that is based on consumption? I would rather have it based on consumption because I feel you should only be taxed on what you purchase. Not your income. Several states have no income taxes (TN), but they have high sales taxes. It works for them, so why couldn't it work for the USA in general? (more...)

objective -- rhetorically discuss the upcoming Presidential Election and American politics by analyzing chosen "texts" (speeches, commercials, debates, posters, brochures, bumper stickers, SNL skits, etc) in relation to rhetorical terms. My group is going to focus on the presidential debates, and mine is the last debate between McCain and Obama. Just anything you can think of for a rhetorical arugment. Thanks. (more...)
