Is Ron Paul a Liar? | The Madrigal Maniac on Where are the Serious GOP Presidential Challengers?
Let me make some comments at the top. I believe in a strong Republican party. Lower taxes, fiscal restraint, and less government in people’s lives. I get it. I usually don’t agree with the ideology, but it I get it. I think the counter balance to my progressive leanings is important and keeps everyone...
Charles Krauthammer wrote an op-ed piece for the Washington Post in which he said the idea the U.S. overreacted post 9/11 was nonsense. While he makes some good points, he seems to forget some of the poor decisions by The Bush administration early on. It is true that Al-Qaeda is on the run and...
I know the title of the post seems rather far fetched. But when you consider the behavior of the modern Republican party, this may not be as crazy as it sounds. From threatening to default on our loans by not raising the debt ceiling, to insisting on policies such as trickle down theory, and...
On this day when our founding fathers declared their independence from Britain, I have been asking myself the age old question why and how did we get here. Religion of all types have their answer, but I find most of their reasoning obtuse. I was talking to a Christian the other day who could...

O.K. Conservatives. Defend this. On his show Wednesday, Limbaugh was asked by a caller about the president urging Americans to go to Whitehouse.gov to contribute to the Red Cross to help Haitians. “Would you trust that the money is going to go to Haiti?” Limbaugh said. “Would you trust that your name is going...
I just found out in an email from the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) that there is an international treaty which has been around since 1979 that protects woman’s rights and the United States is the only democratic nation that has not signed it. It’s called the Convention on the Elimination of All...
My boss told me about this YouTube video a few days ago. He said it was from Britain’s Got Talent, an America Idol type show with Simon Cowell as one of the judges. He said it was from the first show in the competition. I figured it was some odd person belting out a...
