This is not a political blog, however with a pretty historic election coming up, I wanted to write up my opinion at least somewhere. I’ve been a champ (for the most part) of keeping politics off of my Twitter profile. So, at least I can vent on my own blog at least once. Here I go…I will be voting for John McCain for Presid (Read More)

: I respect this guy's opinion, but he's presenting his views as independently-thought, but they're pretty much the standard talking points coming from the GOP. He lost me when he got to the "associations" point, since he's just regurgitating the GOP line, and if he really independently looked at both of these guys' associations, would find questionable on both sides. And really, Acorn, look it up, not any closer to Obama than it is to McCain (who was a keynote speaker from them in '06). These are both establishment men, who have both done admirable work for the country but have also compromised to get where they are. That's how our country works. If you really are going to make an independent decision (which probably nobody does), read the policies with a blind eye, listen to what reputable people (i.e. nobody online) says about them, look at their records. Ignore the talking points.

: @Macztar I too am voting for Bob Barr. As a member of the Libertarian party I have found the other candidates platforms leading away from a government based on the precepts of The United States constitution. Many will say that Libertarian candidates don't a have chance to get elected. The libertarian platform is the US Constitution. The future looks bleak for our republic. Libertarians will keep their integrity despite the outcome.Earl Wallace 1

Fox News anchor Brit Hume, reflecting on his 12 years at the cable news network, recalled that during its formative stages, a New York Times television writer said the news division of Rupert Murdch’s network was like an “imaginary friend.”
So it was “quite amusing,” Hume said in a interview this week, to see the same Tim (Read More)

Sarah Palin may soon be free. Soon, she may not have the millstone of John McCain around her neck. And she can begin her race for president in 2012.
Some are already talking about it. In careful terms. If John McCain loses next week, Sarah Palin “has absolutely earned a right to run in 2012,” says Greg Mueller, who was a s (Read More)

: So one reporter takes the side of McCain - versus the ENTIRE MAINSTREAM MEDIA taking the side of Barack Obama - and this is how liberals react? Imagine for one minute if Sarah Palin had asked Charlie Gibson or Katie Couric - if their questions were "a joke" or "I don't know who's writing your questions."The liberals would be railing against Palin as an incompetent and it would be headline news everywhere. So when a reporter asks a Democrat legitimate questions or when a private citizen (Joe the Plumber) asks a Democratic presidential candidate a legitimate question about his socialistic tax plan - the liberal reaction is to attack and discredit the reporter and the private citizen - not to question the tax plan or ACORN, or whatever THAT was the Biden said about Obama in Seattle... It wasn't 24 hours before Joe dared to ask Barack "the question" that we knew A.) Joe didn't have a plumbers license B.) Joe owed back taxes and C.) John McCain was a fool for not 'vetting' Joe the Plumber prior to the debate. What a horrific and thugish ideology - This is what we have to look forward to from an Obama administration - the precedent is now set, don't you dare question the messiah, or the Democrats and the media will come after you. Amazing how 'intolerant' liberals are of conservative 'dissent' toward socialism... And liberals were worried about their civil rights being trounced under Bush, how about freedom of speech? Yeah its free, so long as you 100% agree with Obama... Saludos Comrades!

In his book The Populist Persuasion, Michael Kazin articulates the difference between these two types of populism: economic and social. (Read More)

From 1995 to 1999, he led an education foundation called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), and remained on the board until 2001. The group poured more than $100 million into the hands of community (Read More)

: This is a very important story. We need to look at Barack Obama's past a little more closely and this journalist does a good job at documenting his involvement with Bill Ayers.
