NATIONAL FIGURE A VIGILANTE OR A PATRIOT?

News and Society
President Bush has referred to Jim Gilchrist as a "Vigilante." Many American citizens have an opposite view, calling him a Patriot. The vast majority of Republican voters want the problem of a tidal wave of illegal aliens pouring across our borders solved, not swept under the rug! Their reasons for concern range from potential terrorist threats, and fears of the importation of vicious gang violence, as well as the adverse economic impact on wages and employment opportunities of illegal ...

Smoke and Mirrors

News and Society
[url]http://www.blackholenews.com/Editorial/smoke_and_mirrors.htm [/url] Republicans are using a smokescreen but they also are in the process of turning against the war and demanding a withdrawal. What became of all the hot rhetoric about being tough on terrorism, that Iraq was the center of the war on terrorism, and that to do anything less than stay the course in Iraq would be an insult to our troops AND leave the place in the hands of Al Qaeda? We've been down this road before.....in ...

Recent California Election

News and Society
Woops, my cynical prediction may have actually come true. The inmates are running the asylum in California. The recent California special election was completely controlled and the outcome dictated by government employees. They may work for all of us, but they also get to approve what goes into law. About ten years ago, I had an epiphany. I noticed that real jobs kept disappearing and government jobs just kept on growing. What I realized was... groups of motivated voters win elections and money ...

Using Buttons and Badges Effectively in a Political Campaign

News and Society
Political campaigns can be tense and stressful. There is so much to do and often not enough time to do it. If you are a candidate or campaign manager, you should not be without a button maker machine. These machines will help you with some of the most critical areas of your campaign - getting the word out, addressing issues, and rallying support. Not only will buttons help acknowledge the issues and rally support, they will do it inexpensively and that is a word that any campaign manager ...

You Be George's Coach

News and Society
Your mission, should you agree to accept it, is to define a strategy for good old Georgie to regain his equilibrium and get his presidency back on solid ground. There is no question that he has had a bad few months and the near future doesn't look good either, with the potential indictments coming for Rove and Libby. The offense is definitely sputtering. What do you do, what do you recommend that he do to score some points and turn the tide? As a coach of an athletic team, whenever we are ...

The Fair Tax Revolution

News and Society
Few people would expect a book about taxes to take The New York Times bestseller list by storm, but that's exactly what The Fair Tax Book has done. For decades, Americans from every point on the political spectrum have moaned about April 15th and the maze of ridiculous instructions and high confiscatory taxation that accompanies that day. The current tax code is a labyrinth of over nine million pages of indecipherable jargon only a federal bureaucrat could fully appreciate. So is there anything ...

The Risk of Blind Assistance

News and Society
/p> To: Honourable Shadow Cabinet Minister of Foreign Affairs Stockwell Day Prime Minister Paul Martin, in his speech yesterday at the UN, promised Canada's financial aid package to, and diplomatic support for the Palestinians, to aid in the expedition of the formation of a Palestinian State, now that Israel has disengaged from Gaza. Although this gesture by the Canadian Government would, on the surface, appear to be both generous and timely, I wonder if there are factors that have not been ...

Land O' Ventura

News and Society
On This Week with George Stephanoplous newscaster Cokie Roberts made the statement that the people of Minnesota had voted for Jesse Ventura for governor because he was a wrestler. Excuse me, but this is the laziest journalism that I've ever encountered. Has she ever talked with even a single person who said that Ventura being a wrestler was the main reason, or even a reason they voted for him? Has she seen a poll that said this? No. Of course not. It's simply sloppy post hoc reasoning with no ...

Arnold's office refuses to comment

News and Society
The European Observer reported: "Europe's far right parties are considering forming a pan-European movement together." Will Arnold Schwarzenegger, frustrated by failures to run for the highest office in the United States, return home to Europe and triumph in the elections as the "born leader" of the pan-European movement's party? Will the EU's strong man then vent his anger against the United States and wreak havoc on the world? When I called Governor Schwarzenegger's office the first ...

Bush's Second Term! A Chance for More Wars or A Stable Peace?

News and Society
The American last elections and some questions in the point! Bush victory in the American ellections and his second term is a good indication to the successful American policy towards the Middle East and specially in Iraq. That doesn't mean Bush is right, but it means that the majority of the Americans voted for him in spite of what he has done in Iraq. The 2004 American ellections results should not be considered as something simple, because they declared that the American President has the ...
