Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Who needs politics?: 1 of 8

In many of my conversations with people, I am too often struck by the severe lack of interest in politics. They truly believe that what lawmakers do, on their behalf, has no impact on them, and/or there is nothing that they can do to effect what lawmakers do. Yet, many of these people vote. It's schizophrenia if there were e...
Celebrations & Holidays > Celebrations & Holidays (Other) Independence Day and its meaning for Americans today: 5 of 36

Is it me, or is July 4th ever referred to as Independence Day? The typical American is so disconnected from our Constitutional past, for the fight for independence. We give great lip service and slogans of being free and put on great celebrations and make elaborate spectacles of ourselves. But, hardly is the 4th of July refe...
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms The death of the American dream: 2 of 7

I read this article from The Conservative Papers entitled, Changes are Coming". It mainly was about the changes that technology and innovation that may change things as we now know them or the total elimination of them, such as post offices, newspapers and books, and television. But, what was more of interest to me was the l...
Politics, News & Issues > Homeland Security Commentary: Illegal immigration in the U.S.: 1 of 3

With all of the recent drama over the Arizona Illegal Immigration law and other under-reported bizarre actions such as the disciplining of the public school kids for wearing the American flag, the reprimanding of a office worker for displaying the stars and strips at her desk, the lowering of the Ol' Glory for the Mexican fl...
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration The illegal immigration crisis: A clear and present danger to America: 11 of 20

The other day I went to one neighborhood convenience store that I regularly frequented, but there weren't the regular two American men there who I had grown accustomed to seeing, but a young Latin woman. When I ask what had happened to the guys who were regularly there, she just said that they no longer worked there. Whateve...
Society & Lifestyle > North American Culture America has lost track of its moral principles: 12 of 21

The U.S financial condition is worse than it was during the Depression, not just due the mass loss of jobs and the critical fiscal condition, but due the lack of high integrity and moral standards at the nation's leadership positions. After surviving two multi-term presidencies of individuals of low character, morals, and in...
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Does Obama meet citizenship requirements to become president?: 6 of 9

So what if Barack Obama hasn't answered the question of whether he is a true natural born citizen of the United States that qualifies him to the President of the United States? He's articulate, good looking, and he's better the options that were offered to us. Plus he's black, so that cleanses the nation of the guilt of slav...
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Can President Obama's $800 billion-plus stimulus plan work?: 15 of 17

Is it just me that the U.S president seems in an extreme hurry to ram this "stimulus" bill through Congress without any thorough debt, examination, or exchange of views? He just got into office. Where did he have time to gather all of the pertinent information to create a 600 plus page bill that is expected to cost over a Tr...
Business > Business Issues Economic commentary: Downsizing America: 2 of 2

The United States government now owns nearly seventy percent of the once poster child of America's automotive manufacturing dominance, General Motors. America is losing its textile, technological, financial, and manufacturing relevancy, world relevancy for that matter, by the minute. Things have gotten so bad that for the fi...
