Politics, News & Issues > US Politics (Other) Will the Obama presidency improve how the world views the United States?: 1 of 10
I would first like to state that there will be those few that see Mr. Obama's socialist agenda and his radical ideas with a positive light. What is unfotunate for us is that the majority of those are members of the mainstream media. They will continue to be cheerleaders for this adminastration, even as this great country spi... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Which political group is happier: Liberals (left) or conservatives (right)?: 2 of 16
The answer is of coarse the conservatives. Listen to any liberal be they pundit or politician and everything out of their mouths is doom and gloom. There are countless examples throughout the last century, and I will flesh some of them out shortly. On the other side of the idealistic coin,the conservatives are the most optim... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Have democrats gone crazy with America's money?: 2 of 8
The answer is yes with a huge but,so have the Republicans,in congress and the white house for decades. The scariest part of this whole mess is they have already spent our money and now are spending Chinese money,European money, and the money from every other country who has bought our bonds. I must lay the blame for tarp 2(b... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 US elections 2008: Which party will win the presidency?: 10 of 34
My prediction for the two thousand and eight elections is that the republicans will win the white house,as for my previous prediction of gop control of Congress that has gone up like a pile of charcoal doused in starter fluid.I am saying that the Democratic control of the house is no different than when the Republicans contr...

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Do Obama's ideas signal new hope or are they the same old Democratic ideas in a different package?: 5 of 17
First I would like to state that I would like a third choice, a sinister transformation of our country. It can be said that the progressive movement was more than smitten with the junior senator from Illinois. The President's ideas and policies are not just far away from the traditional democrats but those of our founding fo... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Politics (Other) Commentary: Proud to be an American: 15 of 44
I would like to start out by badly paraphrasing the Bard: "me thinks that Obama supporters protest too much". The comments by President Bush before the Kenneset was not aimed toward any individual. He was just drawing attention to a growing trend in foriegn policy. There are those all over the world,including many in this co... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory How the stimulus bill affects the United States economy: 1 of 2
There are some who have used the analogy band-aid on a gunshot wound. I see it more of a inserting a fillet knife in the wound and slicing downward. The damage will be devastating not just to the economy, but to the nation as a whole. The stimulus bill is bad enough, then add the mortgage bailout, T.A.R.P. 2 (banking bail ou... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives Will Al Gore bid for 2008 and could he do it?: 24 of 39
The return of Al Gore to the political arena is not as far fetched an idea as it seems to be.It was forty years ago this year that Richard Nixon another former vice-president;who also lost his bid for office eight years prior,ran and won the nineteen sixty eight presidential election. The similarities I assure you end there.... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Would Hillary Clinton be running for president today if she weren't married to former president Bill Clinton?: 13 of 17
The answer to this question is no. If Hillary Rodham never hitched her wagon to Bill Clinton's rising star; she probably would have been a leader in the feminist movement. Their union was a mix of political expediency,mutual idealism and admiration of each others ego. The young Miss Rodham was very active in "progressive"pol... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Analysis of the 2009 Tea Party protests: 6 of 7
I attended the Saint Louis Missouri Tea Party, so my analysis will include personal experience and what I have seen of the media coverage/opinion. I would also like to include my reasons for attending. Everyone of those citizens who joined together in protest all over this country have been slandered by a motley crew includi... More..
