I Admire Mike Gravel
2007-09-09 18:36:00 I admire Mike Gravel . Not for any of his stances on the issues, not for his campaigning strategy, and not because I think he would make a good president. Rather, I admire Mike Gravel for running in spite of no support and in the face of odds that he certainly will not overcome. You see, ...

Ron Paul: Hit and Miss
2007-09-07 00:07:00 First of all, I’d like to congratulate Ron Paul on taking last night’s GOP debate in the viewer poll. Unfortunately, debates mean nothing when it comes to the issues. Debates are useful for is displaying a candidate’s charisma, confidence, poise, and general speaking ability, but nothing more. Instead of talking about the debate, lets look at ...

Is Hillary Clinton Best for the Middle Class American?
2007-09-06 04:43:00 Hillary Clinton cares about America’s middle class. She even went so far as to proclaim that one of the four major goals for her presidency was to help strengthen the middle class. That must mean she cares right? I just think it’s funny that on her website (under her goals for the middle class) she ... For the rest of this article, click on the title to visit my site! Don't forget to subscribe to the feed!

Democratic Clones
2007-09-06 01:52:00 I’ll be the first to admit that just about all of the candidates who appear to be major players in the upcoming election tend to bore me. You would think that an election that means so much to so many people would involve candidates with a bit more… personality. It would also be a logical assumption ...

Hillary Lays Out Vague Goals
2007-09-05 04:44:00 This past Sunday, Hillary Clinton made her presidential goals clear during a speech up in New Hampshire. Of course, when I say “clear”, I really mean she gave a vague and generic set of ambitions that I think we would expect any candidate to strive for. For the sake of argument, let’s dissect these goals that Hillary ... For the rest of this article, click on the title to visit my site! Don't forget to subscribe to the feed!

The Misconceptual Jihad
2007-09-05 03:25:00 Jihad: Holy War. This is meaning of the word Jihad as it is interpreted by most Americans and non-Muslims, and rightfully so. The events of the past few years, or even the past decade, make it easy to draw conclusions about other cultures and religions. While most Americans have heard the word jihad broadcast on ...

Guerilla Warfare: Why You Just Can’t Win
2007-09-05 03:24:00 The war in Iraq rages on, and I still hear people (though they are dwindling) saying that we can win this war. First of all, I am not sure that I would classify the conflict in Iraq as a war in the first place. Usually a war has two clear cut sides, two opposing forces. ...

For the Good of the Girls
2007-09-05 03:18:00 While a lot of the issues I blog about aren’t really emotionally charged, every once and a while I will find something that hits a nerve. Today is one of those days where I am so worked up over this that I am not going to attempt to be non-biased or look at this objectively. ...

The Fall of Bipartisanship
2007-09-05 03:16:00 Since the house and senate shifted to the left with the last election, it seems as though bipartisanship is dead in our country. The two most important elements in our government never see eye to eye. With congress fighting the White House on every issue under the sun, we see that a government that does ...

The Iraqi Permanent Fund
2007-09-05 03:15:00 I was waiting in the doctor’s office yesterday and I happened to pick up an issue of Forbes from November of ‘06. It was a little outdated, but that didn’t stop me from finding a great editorial written by Steve Forbes himself. As I have said in the past, I am a strong supporter of ...
