Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Public education: Indoctrinating our children in our American Madrassas: 1 of 2
OUR AMERICAN MADRASSASMuslim schools, known as madrassas, teach Muslim viewpoints on just about everything in the world. There is always a viewpoint.

Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology The politics of doubt versus the politics of faith: 1 of 2
POLITICS OF DOUBT AND FAITHI always search for root differences in how people think that leads to how they vote. I have an appetite for knowing. However, I do not feel weakened by not knowing.

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Candidates views on government managing our economy?: 1 of 1
IT'S THE SIZE THAT COUNTSWe used to say, during each election; "It's the economy, stupid!" Now, we just say it's the size. Today, the size of the dog in the fight counts. It is no longer the fight in the dog. For Americans, it means the size of government in the fight counts. It is no longer the fight and spirit of the people... More..
