Trump's monumental challenge on race: Ellis Cose
Election night was the night of the white working-class male. But for many of us who are not white working-class males, it was truly frightening. Among the email messages I got as the returns came in were two from friends comparing the moment with 9/11. One, a gay mother of an infant, wrote, “This is not the country I want to raise a child in.” Another correspondent provided an account of a hate l... |

Clinton goes after Arizona and a mandate: Laurie Roberts
At long last, I finally understand the Republican Party’s strategy in Arizona.
Why Republican leaders for years have not only not courted Latino voters but have gone out of their way to turn off a generation or more of the state’s fastest growing segment of the electorate.
Why ex-Senate President Russell Pearce, the architect of Senate Bill 1070, was a rock star within the party and why Mari... |

Don’t blame the hackers, blame the perpetrators: Your Say
The hacked emails present a grim picture of the person who claims to be our savior.
Letter to the editor:
Let me start by saying both candidates are horrid and flawed. I cannot believe, as Americans, this is the best we can do to represent both parties in an election. Be that as it may, I agree with your comment saying that “if you fear something will become public, don’t do it” in the edito... |

Donald Trump's cowardly debate performance: Kirsten Powers
Just a few weeks ago, Trump’s son Eric was praising his father for pulling his punches regarding Bill Clinton’s personal life. "I think that took a lot of courage” to not confront Hillary Clinton about allegations against her husband, Eric Trump said. “In so many regards [he took] the high ground and kept the high road.”

Syria conflict: US calls for Russia and Syria war crimes probe
Russia and the Syrian government should be investigated for war crimes, US Secretary of State John Kerry said.
"Russia, and the regime, owe the world more than an explanation about why they keep hitting hospitals and medical facilities and children," he said.

Uphold veto on 9/11 lawsuits: Our view
The urge to find justice for the families of 9/11 victims is so strong that it’s hard to stand in the way of anything that seems to help them.
That emotional appeal persuaded Congress, which is normally bitterly divided, to pass a measure that its bipartisan supporters said would ease the way for those families to sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged complicity in the attacks.
But emotion is no ... |
