Politics, News & Issues > Soldiers & Veterans Should the draft be reinstated?

11 of 60

The draft has, in times past, had its place. However, like war itself, the draft is, at best, a two-edged sword. In the interest of the need for more soldiers, ordinary citizens were forced into servitude by their country, without concern for their qualification, suitability, or own will. This has worked fairly well, because... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Bush Administration Should Bush pardon "Scooter" Libby or let him go to jail?

2 of 10

In the wake of President Bush's commutation of Lewis Libby's jail sentence, it's a good idea to take a good look at what happened. It will make more sense to look at the events in the order they transpired, as opposed to how they were revealed to the public. In 2002, Joe Wilson, husband of Valarie Plame, is asked to travel t...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." This is the first amendment to the constitution of ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Military (Other) What are the seven uniformed services of the United States?

1 of 2

I thought I would do something a bit different today, and give recognition to the seven Uniformed Services of the United States. Most people are familiar with the four major ones, but may not know exactly how they differ, especially when their missions overlap. There are also two that most people don't know about. Department... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Can New York Mayor Bloomberg run the city while campaigning for the presidency, or should he resign?

1 of 2

As a matter of full disclosure, I loathe Mayor Bloomberg and his policies. None the less, it is absurd to ask him to resign from his position as he runs the political campaign. Many elected officials have held their posts while running for higher office. And, while New York City, at 8.1 million residents, is larger than all ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Should the US government help fund election campaigns?

15 of 23

The idea of the government funding elections is just another symptom of a government that has gone from protecting our freedoms to regulating our lives. As it is now, with "Campaign Finance Reform," we have restricted what people can say in the most critical time before an election, what ads they can buy, and how much they c... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Do campaign contributions to Congressmen buy votes?

7 of 10

Thought it's tempting to assume that the cynics are right, and that all politicians are corrupt, the fact is that it would be a statistical miracle to have that be the case. While Randy Cunningham and William Jefferson prove that the dishonest are alive and well on both sides of the aisle, that does not mean that they are th... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives Does Ron Paul have a chance in the Republican primaries?

10 of 14

Ron Paul, the libertarian in Republicans' clothing, is the mooring line keeping the U.S.S. Republican Party docked at the Limited Government pier. Granted, these days, he his a very strained mooring line. None the less, Dr. Paul has made himself unelectable as a Republican candidate for President. While many Republicans swoo... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Should the Bible continue to be used for swearing-in ceremonies and in courtrooms?

247 of 254

In the book of Matthew, chapter five, we are told: 33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool:...

Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Is George W. Bush a true conservative?

32 of 32

George W. Bush is many things. He is a good and decent man. He is a guy trying his best in a difficult job. Occasionally, he is a leader (sometimes). However, he is not a true conservative. The conservative movement is the axis that runs from William F. Buckley to Ronald Reagan. It encompasses the best in small-government, l... More..
