Politics, News & Issues > War & Peace Does the US have a moral obligation to stay in Iraq until peace is secured?: 1 of 17

The United States has the obligation to stay in Iraq until peace is secured - but not for the Iraqi people. The obligation the United States has is to the United States. Face it, if we were in Iraq for the benefit of the Iraqi people, we would have invaded a LOT earlier - or we would have finished the job and took out Saddam...
Politics, News & Issues > News Industry Should the government control talk radio to make it more "balanced"?: 4 of 60

If the government is going to mandate "balance" there's one major question to ask - who decides what "balanced" means? For instance, on radio, the most popular hosts are unabashadly conservative, lead by broadcaster-in-chief Rush Limbaugh. These people SAY that they're conservative, and they're proud of it. But what about te...
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Are there relevant parallels between the tyranny of King George III during the American Revolution and George W. Bush's presidency?: 1 of 12

You have to be extremely foolish to believe that George W. Bush is anything like a tyrant. Who asked this question? First off, it's impossible for any U.S. president to be a tyrant. We have checks and balances. There's Congress, and the Supreme Court. The branches, thanks to our brilliant Constitution, monitor each other to ...
Computers & Technology > Phone Technologies & Issues Should cell phone use be banned while driving?: 10 of 76

Banning cell phones is impractical from a law enforcement standpoint, and expensive from a taxpayer standpoint. Think about it. On the surface, I'll admit that it looks like a good idea. I know people who have been hit by cell-phone users, and I know someone who has been on the phone when she initiated an accident. But if yo...
Politics, News & Issues > War & Peace Should the US pull out its troops regardless of whether Iraq is ready to defend its people?: 20 of 101

As much as we'd all like to see our troops come home, and as much as our raw emotions tell us that they should - we can't pull out yet. The answer lies within what will follow in Iraq. If the Iraqi government is not able to sustain itself - either on its own, or with help from the United Nations - then it will be overthrown ...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Choosing the best Republican candidates for President in 2008: 3 of 14

There is one central question involved for choosing the Republican candidate for 2008: Who embodies conservative the best? Not just fiscal conservatism. Not just social conservatism. Not just the entrepreneurial spirit. Not just Christianity hollered from the rooftops. Republicans want the whole package. And it's easy to see...
Jobs & Careers > Stress & Time Management Should US workers be guaranteed more vacation time?: 3 of 14

The burning question is: Guaranteed by whom? Are we to suggest that the United States government should step in and require the country's employees to dole out more days off? Might sound nice. Days off certainly sound nice. But this is the wrong way to go about it. The bottom line is, an employer hires employees to do a job....
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections The case for Barack Obama's candidacy to the 2008 presidential election: 10 of 40

Barack Obama can defend the country - with his bare hands. He can bring forth unity and bipartisanship simply by flashing his smile. He can heal thousands of years of racial biases, by doing nothing more than being himself. And he can make life better for every American, and make every American proud to be a citizen of these...
Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Has Paris Hilton found God?: 3 of 11

The Lord has a million ways of getting through to people. And while it's impossible for each of us to know what Paris Hilton has in her heart, let's not forget - we should really, really hope she's found God. I know she's the butt of many jokes right now. I know she's hugely popular because people either like her style, or i...
Politics, News & Issues > US Leaders Deciding whether Bush should be impeached: 7 of 23

Impeaching Bush takes facts, not anger If you're one of a large number of Americans who think President George W. Bush is right and ready for impeachment, you might want to stop and think awhile. Better yet, you might just want to jog down to your local bookstore and pick up a copy of "Impeachment for Dummies." Chances are, ...
