Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives Is America ready for a Mormon president?: 1 of 13
Mitt Romney pulled ahead of Senator John McCain and the other Republican presidential hopefuls in the 2008 Michigan Primary. With Iowa and Michigan in his pocket, his loss in the New Hampshire primary dims, and Romney becomes the Republican candidate with momentum moving into the Super Tuesday Primary in early February.But ma...

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives Reflections: Why Huckabee is here to stay: 1 of 10
I am currently listening to a video sent to me on myspace that has Howard Stern giving his opinion on the Iowa Caucuses. I don't like Howard Stern and a lot of what he says is crap, but he makes some good points. For instance he says that the main reason Huckabee won Iowa when it was set up for Romney to win is because he is ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives Does Ron Paul have a chance in the Republican primaries?: 3 of 17
I like the article by Craig R. Withers because he seems to respect Ron Paul, but he has a few of his facts wrong. First of all, Ron Paul has spent twenty years in Congress, rather than just 17, and second, while McCain appeared to be a Maverick in 2000 that is simply because he acted more like a Democrat than a Republican. Th... More..
Entertainment > TV News & Commentary Is anyone else tired of American Idol: 5 of 24
They have an American Idol video game out now. That's right folks, now you too can be told that you suck in the many creative styles of Simon Cowell in your very own home. Want to be told that you shouldn't quit your day job but can't make it to a TV studio? Well this is the game for you.Okay that's enough of that. Yes I'm ti... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Leaders (Other) Should former US presidents speak out against a current president?: 9 of 43
Those who believe a citizen should not criticize the leaders of their nation clearly miss the point of the First Amendment. The entire reason the founders of this country felt it neccesary to protect freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to petition for the redress of grievances, (three of the five clauses in...

Politics, News & Issues > Justice System The Senate must do more to limit the powers of the judicial branch: 2 of 9
The judicial system in this country has gone beyond interpreting the law and determining whether or not it is Constitutional. It has developed into a system based on the law of the precedent. This means that if another judge has made a decision in the past that should influence the decision of judges in the future, but if a j... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Terrorism Does religion have anything to do with terrorism?: 7 of 28
I will reference the recent anti-terrorism speech by Pope Benedict XVI. He quoted not only the Bible but also the Koran in speaking about how both books discourage violence in the name of religion, that Muslims believing in the Koran should be led by it to believe just as Bible following Christians that God or Allah as he is ...

Celebrations & Holidays > Easter Chocolate Jesus for Easter: Blessing or blasphemy?: 5 of 20
I have mixed feelings on this matter. One thing is that people seem to have forgotten that the lamb is a symbol of easter because it represents the lamb of God and now it's just another fertility symbol along with the rabbit and chicken (dating back to the Pagan Estrus Festival which the Roman Catholic Church merged with East...

Arts & Humanities > Theater & Drama Theatre: What makes it special?: 6 of 22
A movie is ao very ordinary these days, where once upon a time it was the newest and hottest form of entertainment. The theatre is almost seen as a lost art since a much smaller percentage of people go and see them. One movie theatre can play as many as twenty movies, or more if it's got enough rooms. While on the other hand ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should church groups be allowed to hold meetings in public places?: 5 of 18
I have actually met people that believed that public expressions of religion should not be tolerated. This statement was made in one case as a response to my outrage over a news article about several Muslim people who were kicked off a plane for praying in their native language. I personally am a Christian man but having been... More..
