I caught a program over the weekend on the History channel that compared our current economic condition to teh Gread Depression. The show made a case for the current government involvement in the economy (bailouts) by referencing the lack of government involvement in the early days of the Depression. I tend to disagree with this [...]

…at least not when it comes to politics.
What more can be said about yesterday’s sensational news of Gov. Blagojevich being arrested on curruption charges? This is the fourth Illinois Governor in recent history to face criminal charges while in office. Yet another chapter in the very big book of Chicago-style political corruption.
Now let’s look at [...]
Newsweek is running a cover story that is such a blatant example of propaganda that I hate to even link to it and give it the time of day. However, in the end, I feel that we need to call out and highlight extreme propaganda like this that is being passed off as “news” in [...]
I’ve always felt funny about the use “czar” in US politics. The word is rooted in ancient Rome when the emperors took Julius’ name to signify their stature.

Am I the only on that finds this trend of political dynasties to be getting out of control? Just because your relatives held office, doesn’t mean that you are fit to as well. I think recent [...]

Well, John Ziegler still stands by his original poll seeing his documentary is on the winning candidate and how the media influenced the election. However, in fairness, he commissioned the poll to be rerun and [...]

Obama just named Hillary Clinton as his secretary of state pick. This is interesting since it poses a Constitutional conundrum. The US Constitution states:
“No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or [...]
This article written by Chuck Norris explores whether the government observance of Thanksgiving is a violation of the separation of church and state. I really like how he breaks down how and why Jefferson mentions the separation of church and state in a letter (this phrase does not appear in the First Amendment at all [...]

I thought the Obama birth certificate issue was dead… apparently not.
Ironically, now that the election is over, the pressure is building. A few bold members of Congress are getting interested in demanding hearings on the issue. The lawsuits are increasing. More pundits and activists are beginning to mobilize.

I really don’t get into conspiracy theories, [...]
