Editorial:
John Kerry Wasn’t the Loser-The Democratic Party was!
The biggest buzz, besides that of “Moral Values”, coming out of the recent election, has been the GOP inroads with the Hispanic voter. The new swing vote, they are calling it! The Hispanic vote that cannot be pigeonholed! The Vote that’s no longer in the Democrat’s camp! The Hispanic vote, the Republicans maintain, that has now mainstreamed! While there are numbers that may backup this exuberance by the Republican Party, remember this was just one election.

What Moral Values Make ‘Just War’ Right?
By Joe Ortiz
We are being flooded with data from a myriad of polls that claims the main reason George W. Bush was reelected to a second term was primarily due to greater moral values supposedly existing among those living within Red Zone America, as opposed to those who reside in the Eastern and Western coast states. The data include mostly exit poll information that moral values were deemed more important than healthcare, education and employment.

A Message to John Moores
By Ben Hueso
Over the years, Latinos made certain gains in ensuring access to education for their children at the collegiate level advocating for affirmative action programs that sought to correct social inequality. Today, all traces of affirmative action have been eliminated in our public universities and access to these universities by Latinos have been eliminated. In many instances, the same individuals that have affirmative action to thank for their educations and careers, have come out against it, or have refused to comment at all. Due to the current lack of cohesion and understanding within the Latino community of how to vote for our best interests, we have lost valuable ground in the battle of allocating resources for our best interests.

La Religión en la Política
Por Dr. Humberto Caspa
Analizar a la religión en forma crítica, se ha convertido en un tabú en nuestro ambiente político. A estas alturas, cuestionarla es casi insostenible, más aun atacarla. Esta situación se ha hecho más patente con lo ocurrido en el 11 Septiembre, en donde unos fanáticos islamistas del grupo Al Qaeda, por cuestiones religiosas, secuestraron unos aviones comerciales y prácticamente los “detonaron” en las Torres Mellizas.

Take the Constitution Seriously in the Second Term
By Sheldon Richman
Should President Bush declare a mandate and push ahead with his agenda or extend an olive branch of conciliation to his opponents?

TEZOZOMOC SPEAKS
Que estraño that Election Day fell on the same day as our (Mexican) holiday “Día de Los Muertos" (Day of the Dead). Many “Good Mexican Americans” as well as Catholics preferred to spend Election Day at the local graveyards honoring those of their families who have died. Got to have priorities you know. Anyhow, what is más importante en la vida, votando o estar con sus antepasados?

Midiendo el sexo, no el amor
Kinsey relata la revolución social de los ‘50

Si hay alguien meritorio de una película en su nombre es el doctor Alfred Kinsey. El investigador literalmente cambió el mundo con un libro. El reporte Kinsey sobre la conducta sexual en el hombre fue publicado por primera vez en 1948. Desde ahí revolucionó la forma como los occidentales han visto el sexo entre humanos, decididamente endorsó la revolución sexual de los sesenta e influenció la forma como vemos el sexo hoy en día.
