		<description><![CDATA[According to Miriam-Webster one of the hallmarks of what defines journalism is “writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation.”  The framers of the Constitution of the United States understood that this was a key aspect of a free society.  This was inherent in the protection of the fourth estate written into the First Amendment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As events unfold throughout the year, I do my best to reflect how they have fulfilled my beginning of the year predictions.  That said, there are a few recent events that I found noteworthy. First, there was the recent terror plans in New York City and Denver that seemed to have been foiled, at least [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Exactly what to expect for America itself in this future, is very difficult to say. Possibilities include a weakened America existing in its same form but having less world influence, to America’s basic destruction by both outside, and internal fighting, or America existing more as a pre-Civil War loose collection of states. There is no way to predict what the American future will look like at this time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have gone past a point in America where we can turn this clock back.  Many experts believe that the American century is over, and the next century most certainly won't be a repeat.  I believe that the evidence backs this up, both historically and in terms of current events.  This doesn't mean we will fall into the sea.  It does mean that things will be different.  A look at history should shed light on what may be to come.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is another cycle at work within America that we need to be aware of.  Just as revivals in the early 1900's brought about the Pharisee-ism of the early 20's, which led to crime in the 30's, we are in a part of our own cycle now.  The Bush years seemed to be a revival without revival, and a triumph of moral legalism (at least as far as the mainstream media and far left would have us believe).  The public responded with a "Yes we can believe in change."  But now crime is seriously on the rise and healthy society markers are on the decline.]]></description>
