      • Presidential Politics 2008: Will Ego Be the Undoing of Obama?
        09/30/08
        You'll never find a presidential candidate without a large ego. It takes a big ego to be a world leader. Look at the great figures in history, be they heroes or villains, they are larger than life. But the truly great leaders, while possessing big egos, also know the value of humility. They rec

      • When You Put Her Down
        09/30/08
        When you write blazing articles about Governor Palin, you aren't just hurting her, you're hurting her husband and children. Have you thought about that? No, she didn't bring this on herself. You've chosen to disrespect a women who deserves our respect for her accomplishments. And

      • Social Engineering as Economic Policy
        09/29/08
        What we are witnessing today is not a failure of the free market. It is the failure of social engineering as economic policy. And it's a disaster of epic proportions.
        Nobody's disputing that this disaster was precipitated by irresponsible lending practices, or that Fannie Mae and Fred

      • What's at Stake in this Election
        09/29/08
        I'm Italian and I'm proud that I'm a first-generation American. My mother's family are all Communists. At least they were, until WWII. Benito Mussolini was a wonderful, inspiring speechmaker, who dazzled the crowds. His official title was "His Excellency Benito Mussolini, He

      • Debate at 'Ole Miss': McCain vs Obama
        09/29/08
        On Friday evening, September 26th, the first Presidential debate between Senators' McCain and Obama as their respective party's Presidential nominee was held in the deep south at the University of Mississippi, 'Ole Miss', in Oxford, Mississippi. It was intended to be a debate on

      • British Scientist Expelled After Controversy Over Creationism
        09/29/08
        Creationism is a dangerous word - at least if you say it aloud. Professor Michael Reiss, Director of Education at the Royal Society, the leading science organisation in Great Britain, was forced to step down after he was accused of instructing teachers to discuss creation in science classes.
      • Champions of the Poor
        09/29/08
        Democrats hold themselves up to be the champions of the poor. It always struck me as odd that a bunch of rich guys and gals, most of whom have never held a real job outside of Congress, can claim to be "one of us", the working people. They do, though, and quite successfully based on the el

      • Hello World! Hello? Is Anyone Out There?
        09/24/08
        I walked around Santa Monica College the other day and passed by hundreds of kids. No one looked up. No one said "hi". Well almost no one. Many of the people where wearing headphones bowing down to the music gods that get them through the day. This all made me sad so I decided to interject

      • Sarah Palin is Not a Work at Home Mom
        09/24/08
        If there is one thing Sarah Palin is not it is that she is not a work at home Mom. In this day and age where more and more women are trying to find ways to work from home so that they can spend more time with the kids, Sarah Palin is one step away from uprooting her whole family and moving to Washin

      • How Obama's Weak Campaign Organization Has Made it a Race
        09/24/08
        This was supposed to be the one. After close calls in 2000 and 2004, the Democrats were poised to take over big. After all, with an unpopular Republican President, an unpopular war, unpopular economy, unemployment, foreclosures and bank closures, how could the Democrats not win?

        But now t

      • History Will Forgive George W Bush
        09/24/08
        George W. Bush is at the mercy of history. While liberal pundits glorify his most infamous policies and blunders, decades from his departure from the White House Bush will be free of the country's stinging zeitgeist.

        The most scholarly of historians may cite his immigration policy, w

      • Divided We Stand, United We Must Become
        09/21/08
        As I listened to Senator John McCain's speech the other night, I realized that if anyone is able to unite our country, it is John McCain. More than anyone, he sincerely cares about us enough to want to unite us into one strong and solid country again. He cares about each one of us, whether we a

      • Has Cuba Long Been Ruled by Murder, Mayhem Or Madness?
        09/21/08
        Six months ago, Castro, aging and sick, finally handed over the reins of the Presidential control to Raul Castor, his 76 year old brother. This ended a 49 year rule that had deprived the nation of Cuba of democratic elections. Raul has 77 year old Jose Ramon as his Deputy and 72 year old General Jul

      • Did Senator Barack Obama Get Caught Up in the Sub Prime Lending Fiasco, Crisis and Fraud?
        09/19/08
        Apparently, several prominent politicians were getting large campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Banks that spent 10s of millions of dollars in lobbying efforts to allow them to keep the money flowing. If you will recall many politicians called for more loans to be made for low-i

      • Sex, Lies and Photoshop
        09/19/08
        It always amazes me what some people will do to damage a person's reputation. In the case of Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, it has gotten more than ugly. From the moment she stepped on stage when John McCain announced her as his running mate, the vitriol started. In additio

      • The GOP Gets a FaceLift
        09/16/08
        An old sales adage is "A great product speaks for itself. Put it out there and it's a winner without ever having to sell it." John McCain's ability as a top salesman was unequaled when he picked a woman to stand against the rise of intolerance and unrest within the inner workings

      • I'd Rather Blossom Under McCain's Same Than Suffer Under Obama's Change
        09/16/08
        Change. Change the magical word in the 2008 election campaign. Change an idea American voters all agree is necessary after the last eight years of American decline in economy and increase in complex problems representing all types of issues. Change can either be for the better or the worse. This is

      • Why Hollywood Leans to the Left
        09/14/08
        When was the last time Oprah cracked open her checkbook and gasped at the red? What about Britney and all of her drama - she's not freaking out over the price of milk at Kroger. Oprah, Britney, Babs and the rest of the entertainment industry have lots of luxuries - cars, shoes, villas and one m

      • The Obama Meltdown
        09/13/08
        What a week for Barack Obama. He (accidentally) refers to his "Muslim faith" on George Stephanopolous' show, waivers and quakes on every position he has hitherto held (abortion, taxes, Iraq, the surge), and now faces a 10 point deficit to McCain/Palin in the latest USA Today likely vo

      • How Can You Not Be Intrigued by Sarah Palin?
        09/12/08
        Like the rest of America, I was intrigued by the announcement of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate. My first thought was that he picked her because she was a woman and he one-upped Barack Obama who many felt should have reached for the female vote. Hillary as the running mate would have

      • Is Sarah Palin Qualified to Be Vice President Or Not?
        09/12/08
        Since she was picked by John McCain to be his vice presidential running mate the media has jumped all over her, relentlessly.

        Most of their attacks were rude, personal, vitriolic slams out of bounds where common courtesy is concerned, but we really shouldn't be surprised by that.
      • A Clear and Present Danger to the Small Business Owner
        09/12/08
        I am a small business owner who deals exclusively with small business owners as a consultant and financial advisor. To date, in my 10 years experience I have yet to meet a business owner who started his or her own business for the purpose of providing jobs in his community. I have yet to meet the bu

      • A Woman Liberated
        09/12/08
        I have been reading a lot of articles, blogs, and comments about John McCain's choice for VP, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. And while I, like many Americans, know little about Governor Palin, one of the more laughable angles, to me, is the proposition that the choice of Governor Palin as a runni

      • Barack Obama and the Art of Repentance
        09/12/08
        After McCain's speech the other night, I hopped over to Bill O'Reilly's website to watch his interview with Senator Barack Obama. While it was a brief introduction to a much longer interview that was to be done next week, I lost all respect for the Senator in those few moments.

      • There's A Double Standard In Politics
        09/10/08
        ...Especially for Women
        LIBERAL WORLD: Change is always good and it won't cost a penny.

        REAL WORLD: We need to change some things. Change is good when the end-result is better for all and change is never free.

        LIBERAL WORLD: Barack Obama chants "Change," but

      • Presidential Election or Popularity Contest?
        09/10/08
        The time is near. We will be electing our 44th President of the United States on November 4th, 2008. We all have a decision to make. Who will that new President be? Who will we choose to head the government of one of the most influential and powerful nations on earth? And, how will we base our decis

      • Is Sarah Palin a Woman of Destiny
        09/10/08
        I first heard about Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin on the AOL movers and shakers headline article last April. The brief article outlined her accomplishments and highlighted what a reformer she was for Alaska. Immediately I thought, will Sen John McCain think to add this woman to his ticket?

        Th

      • Obama Files Stolen Thunder Report
        09/08/08
        John McCain picked his VP today under a cloud of secrecy the likes of which seems impossible in today's society. The speculation swirled around the "usual suspects", men who were vanquished in the campaign and more men who seemed like good choices for vice president based on credentia

      • The Audacity of Theft - Stealing America's Political Process With 1 Billion Dollars in Advertising
        09/08/08
        At the Democratic National Convention in Denver the media was calling it a historic event, and you know what they are right. For the first time in the history of the United States an unqualified candidate has been able to buy their way into the Democratic Nomination. The cost only $500,000 worth of

      • Sarah Palin - A Lady David, With Credentials to Slay the Federal Spending Goliath
        09/08/08
        Sarah Palin represents sound American thinking, responsibility and fiscal discipline, far above, most of the weak but glib and deceptive bunch, that inhabits most of today's U.S. House and Senate.

      • Barack Seems Like a Nice Fellow
        09/07/08
        Barack Obama seems like a nice fellow, but he's not ready to be president. He looks like a decent basketball player, considering his age. I like basketball; I like the idea of a black president; I'd like to be voting for Colin Powell this November, he's ready to be president. Barack O

      • The Republican Convention And Sarah Palin As Seen By Late Night Comedians
        09/06/08
        "While she was addressing the crowd, Sarah Palin spent a lot of time criticizing Barack Obama’s campaign speeches for not having enough specifics. … Obama was reportedly angry about the claim, but didn’t say exactly why." --Conan O'Brien

      • Obama Seeks To Make America A Socialistic Fiefdom
        09/04/08
        In my opinion, while some politicians do go into politics to be of service to their country, most politicians go into politics in order to gain power. This holds especially true for politicians who run for President. It doesn't matter how much money have. They are seeking the power of the Presi

      • Georgia's Independence - Why We Should Care
        09/04/08
        These are troubled times we live in. The independent free nation of Georgia has been violated by a larger, stronger nation that is run by a man with dreams of empire. Mr. Vladimir Putin, an ex-KGB officer, has instigated a national push to rebuild the power and glory of the old Soviet Union. The ide
