Obama Continues His Love Affair with Dictators and Strong Men

Categories: Political Commentary

  On June 28, 2009, President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras was forcibly removed from power in an apparent coup. Unlike many coups, however, this one was relatively unique in that it was not driven by a would-be-dictators power lust but by a desire to stop just such a thing from happening. You see, Mr. Zelaya had for some time been pushing a referendum that would enable him to "reform" the Honduran constitution to allow for re-election. Unfortunately for Mr. Zelaya, the Honduran constitution has ... Read More

Department of Justice Halts Voter Background Checks

Categories: Political Commentary

In another stunning display of stupidity and partisanship, the Department of Justice has decided that the state of Georgia is violaing the constitution by checking social security numbers and drivers licenses of voters. Apparently the system had a disproportionate impact on minority voters. A fascinating, unrelated fact. Did you know that almost all of the 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States are minorities?

To Sonia Sotomayor: A White Man’s Experience

Categories: Political Commentary

  There are two views of the future of America. One is the oft-taught "melting pot." In this view, all immigrants integrate into society, each group contributing something unique and new to our national identity. The opposing view is that of the "salad bowl," in which the majority white citizens provide a base in which smaller ethnic and racial groups remain distinct and separate in the way that a tomato or cucumber remains distinct from other parts of the salad. Liberals tend to ... Read More

Why Bush is Innocent and We Should Ban Enhanced Interrogation

Categories: Political Commentary

  Quick Summary: •    Uses the Geneva Convention to highlight why former President Bush is not a War Criminal. •    Discusses the implications of coercive interrogation and government power and presents a possible compromise for the issue.   Since the images of the Abu Ghraib abuses were released, followed by the news of the CIA’s secret prisons and its enhanced interrogation techniques, there has been a fierce debate over the legality of the various measures involved. Republicans and Conservatives generally favor the techniques and insist that ... Read More

Selling Credibility to the Highest Bidder: HuffPo Auctioning off an Internship

Categories: Media Bias

Arianna Huffington's Book: An Autobiography?   Arianna Huffington, the liberal’s liberal and (in)famous co-founder of the ultra-liberal Huffington Post, believes that the future of journalism lies in selling journalistic credentials to the highest bidder. Yes, someone who believes dearly in democracy and the middle class apparently believes that we should trust a news source which hires reporters based upon how much they can afford to donate **ahem** pay, for their position. Arianna has offered a summer internship, available in a charity auction for the ... Read More

Is this Transparency: Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Continues to Attack the Press?

Categories: Government High Jinks and Headaches

  MSNBC's Chuck Todd recently tried to ask Obama's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs how the administration could honestly attempt to portray its $17 billion budget cut, which amounts to less than a half a percent of the total budget, as a serious spending reduction. Todd asked, "1/2 of one percent, how is this truly a tough decision and a tightening of the belt?" Gibbs responded by making quips about the stock price of GE (NBC's and Chuck Todd's parent company) and how much ... Read More

I have amended it to include the party affiliation and home state of every individual. This list has not been confirmed by third party information as the Obama Administration has yet to order the release of more detailed, classified information on the briefings. Since the ...

Michael Savage Banned, Censored by Gordon Brown’s Gov.

Categories: Political Commentary

It's finals week here at college, so I don't have much time for posts, but I really needed to share this. Michael Savage, a conservative talk show host from San Francisco's KNEW, has been placed on a list of 22 people the British government will not allow into the country. British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith publicly released the names of 16 of these individuals, including Mr. Savage, saying that it was necessary so that people would "understand the sorts of values and sorts ...

Lou Dobbs on the Proposed Amnesty Bill

Categories: Political Commentary

Loud Dobbs does a good job covering the details of the immigration bill moving through congress. This bill is probably one of the worst pieces of legislation I've seen in a while. As usual, the elitists in Washington think that 300 million people's wills should be directed in whichever way is most politically advantageous. These provisions are ridiculous. The United States government should put some effort into enforcing immigration policy as it exists. Border walls put in place in California have proven ... Read More
