Communism is still alive and evil

The Miers debacle: A great opportunity for a stronger GOP!
Doug Hagin
October 27, 2005

When a person is wrong, they should simply admit it and move on. Therefore, I admit that I was misguided in my most recent column. Apparently, Harriet Miers is . . .

What is the truth behind media cover girl Cindy Sheehan? Is she simply a mother, driven by grief over the tragic loss of her son, Casey, in Iraq? Is she a . . .


Why?
Doug Hagin
August 9, 2005

Let me state right off the bat how good it is to be back writing. In the past few weeks, I just could not do it. Call it burn out, or writers block, or too many . . .


TV is what you make it!
Doug Hagin

The cost of historical ignorance!

Pope John Paul and Terri Schiavo
