Editorial...Alito insulted Obama and every American
Category: Opinion Written by Courier Newsroom
Associate Justice Samuel Alito’s show of partisanship during President Obama’s State of the Union address stands as one more piece of evidence that conservatives believe the American government belongs to them, not the people of the United States. With the echoes of U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson’s “You lie” barely still, Alito’s head-wagging, lip-mouthing “Not true” in response to Obama’s claim that a recent Supreme Court decision allowing corporations to spend on political campaign ads overturned a century of precedents and opened the floodgates to special interests went way past poor decorum.

You should have said something
Category: Opinion Written by Louis 'Hop' Kendrick
On Jan. 5, I was in attendance at a breakfast fundraiser in the behalf of Allegheny County Councilman William “Bill” Robinson. As we were sitting around just talking, a former resident of the Hill District, who resided on Whiteside Road, stated that it was a disgrace that the new development did not carry the same name Whiteside Road.

I then asked, “Did you or anyone else make that suggestion?” His response was no, my response was that is what we excel at—never saying anything. If we do it’s usually after the fact.

Black genocide and Black acquiescence
Category: Opinion Written by Kathleen Yocum
Why aren’t more Black people against abortion?
To sell a virtually unabated abortion agenda, people are told abortion is necessary for instances in which the life of the mother is at risk. The need to terminate a child conceived by rape or incest is also cited.
Such reasons may seem logical, but they account for only a small portion of actual abortions.

Tea Party racism
Category: Opinion
(NNPA)—Following the Tea Party phenomenon and watching its recent convention, it was interesting to see media folks and Tea Party representatives struggle with the question of why so few Blacks were there. This is not a new thing, since the philosophical base of the Republican Party has been the Conservative movement for some time and their conventions have also been lily White. But the emergence of the Tea Party phenomenon should cause us to ask how far it is from bonafide anti-Black White nationalist politics striving to enhance its role in the political system.

Obama’s undying faith in Republicans
Category: Opinion Written by George E. Curry
(NNPA)—You would think that after Republican leaders in the House and Senate united to oppose every major initiative that President Obama has proposed—ignoring how Americans would benefit from such programs—that he would finally get the message. Unfortunately, he hasn’t.

Instead of seeing Republicans as the obstructionists that they are, Obama has announced that he is calling yet another meeting with GOP leaders on Feb. 25 to solicit their ideas on healthcare reform.
