A Quick Political Rant

I’ve not blogged about politics for a while, mostly because I’ve been burnt out on the subject since the election.  I get this way after every national election and can’t write about politics for a long time after.  Lately, there have been things that have been bugging me though, so I’m going to go on [...]

The Theocracy Party

Another quick though. If Obama wins this election will the historical Republican base take back over the party? I’m talking about the small-government, fiscal conservatives and libertarians. Or will the social conservatives and radical right be the dominant force? Perhaps they should split. The religious right can create their own [...]

Obama vs McCain/Palin

Here is a quick thought: Obama is known for being a very powerful speaker able to bring people together and look towards a positive future. McCain and Palin use scare tactics, name-calling, and divisive speeches to get their party riled up. The politics of hate. Is that really what you want? [...]

People who know me know that I’m deeply interested in politics and think that voting is one of the most important things you can do, but I will not vote for someone who [...]

Rush Finds New Low in Mocking Michael J. Fox

Here is a great op/ed piece I found while browsing Google News today.
By Margaret Carlson
Oct. 30 (Bloomberg) — There was a time when politics wasn’t a blood sport.
At the end of the day, Tip O’Neill shared a whiskey with Ronald Reagan, and Senators George Aiken and Mike Mansfield had breakfast daily. Now it’s routine to [...]

The Right Gets it Wrong…. Again

I love browsing the internet to find right wingers complain about their rights being taken away. For example, this quote:
The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is the bedrock of our free society. When a society is not free to ?keep and bear arms? then they in effect become slaves of [...]
