Politics, News & Issues > Democratic Leaders Can Hillary Clinton be an effective president?: 4 of 25
It is a commonly held feeling from my discussions that America is not ready for a woman president. Whether it is because women are considered moody, or because they are considered less confident, or able, than men, it would be difficult for any woman to get the male vote, which is still the largest gender segment of the elect...

Is it really still a war in Iraq?Pause for a moment and consider that question.When you stop to think about it, the conflict in which we are currently engaged in Iraq is really not a war anymore.

Politics, News & Issues > Soldiers & Veterans Vietnam, Iraq and baby boomers: 10 of 15
Coming of age during the Viet Nam Conflict, the Baby Boomers were also caught up in the middle of the "free love" movement that we now identify with hippies. They advocated peace primarily because war was an inconvenience to their lifestyle. They did not feel the patriotic instinct that their parents felt during World War II,... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should elected officials be allowed to take trips on corporate jets?: 2 of 3
While I agree that there are potential ethical questions with accepting donations such as corporate jet rides, it would be discriminatory to not allow it in any way.
