Obama’s Fate Revived By The Radical Right

Just a few months ago it looked for sure like Obama’s fate in the 2012 presidential campaign was not a good one. It seemed for sure Obama was going to go the way of Jimmy Carter by a landslide loss. It took only several months of a bitter and divisive GOP primary to change all… More

America : Barely Legal

John Stossel's special on Fox News is an eye opener to what is at the very root of America's problems. Fox News may in some ways not usually be a good source of balanced and common sense commentary but Stossel (originally from ABC News) hits things right on the nail. He covers all the absurdities… More

The GOP Sanitarium

A few months ago it looked for sure like Obama would ride on the Jimmy Carter train back to Chicago in the upcoming 2012 election cycle for president. It looked for sure that Mitt Romney was going to ride the Red Eye straight to the White House too. Funny how things can change so dramatically… More

Newt’s Food Stamp Myth

Newt Gingrich recently called Obama the “Food Stamp” president. Gingrich went on further to suggest everyone on food stamps were minorities who settled for them instead of working a job. The sad reality is that Newt's suggestions are completely out of touch with facts and reality (which may no be be surprising for a man… More

Hold Your Fire – Stand Up For Law and Order

The recent killing of Trayyon Martin highlights what is wrong with the NRA’s philosophy of  law and order and their “Stand Your Ground” mantra. The NRA has become nothing more than a radically conservative vigilante minded organization bent on a “wild west” style of law in order in modern society. All too often the NRA… More

The Bad Business of Bad Debt

Most people who are business wise consider an asset something you hold a value to like machinery, or property or something income producing in some way.

The Right’s Ultra Sound

Across the United States, social conservatives are pushing a hard line agenda against women. Virginia’s recent legislative session is a classic example of the right’s ultra sound once it gets control of a legislative body like the GOP has in Virginia after 2012 elections. Despite Governor Bob McDonnell’s call not to “over-reach,” socially conservative legislators… More

Chosing The Right Wing

Political parties select their candidate for president at conventions in the summer of each presidential election year. Both Democrats and Republicans have a convention even if their candidate is uncontested such as the case this year with President Obama. Since a Republican is not currently president, the GOP is holding both caucuses and primaries in… More

The Dirty “S” Word

Politics always has its bad words in America. There is the “liberal” word that is popular these days to denounce anybody that does not agree with conservatism. It is almost as if your thoughts and conviction do not count if you are a “liberal” the way conservatives see it. Conservatives think their conviction and nobody… More

The Syrian Abyss

America is standing down on calls to involve itself in Syria’s socio-political mess. There is no universal support for a deeply fragmented opposition to the Syrian government. China and Russia are dead set against any kind of intervention into Syria’s current upheaval. Unlike Libya which enjoyed unified support and had a unified and clear opposition… More

The Jingling Sabers Over Iran

Just as America leaves Iraq and begins a slow pullout in Afghanistan, America and Iran are jingling their sabers increasingly louder. One has to wonder if American leaders are not inviting yet another leap into war with Iran much like they did with Iraq. No one doubts that Iran is a threat in some ways… More

Let’s Blacklist The “Blacklist” Bill

Congress has recently taken up what many in the business know as the "black list" bill. This bill would effectively ban websites where users upload their own content like YouTube and MySpace amongst many others. The bill is an attempt by big business interests to solidify copyright rights by preventing internet users from uploading any… More
