something like a phenomenon

Emma’s rebuttal to this article: “rebuttal to: something like a phenomenon“
–
An amazing thing happened yesterday. I mean, besides the complete collapse of Rudy’s presidential hopes and the finality of exploiting 9-11 as one’s personal coffer-filler, mantra and rallying cry.
The Democratic Party will, for the first time ever, have a female or a black at the […]

adam smith’s immigration

by Lucas Puente | Libertarian | Comments (0)

You would think that a pro-business party with a laissez faire attitude towards market regulations would support the idea of a steady stream of cheap labor - no matter how it got to the workplace. However, more often than not, Republican campaign rhetoric has made a swear word out of “amnesty” and rallying cries out […]

barack obama: jujitsu master

by Ari Holtz | Moderate | Comments (0)

In this space last Friday, I wrote that Sen. Hillary Clinton was the inevitable Democratic nominee for president because of the Clintons’ pugnacious political style. The column described Sen. Barack Obama’s dilemma - he has to choose between floating like a butterfly above the fray and getting pummeled by the Clintons or getting raw and […]

Sandra Kinne’s original article: “something like a phenomenon“
–
The Democrats (glory be to their name and honor upon their children’s heads) accomplished a magnificent feat this week. They managed to completely ignore a viable candidate for the presidency of the United States and vote for candidates solely based on their race and sex, all the while […]

NOB - national organization of bullies

by Paige Cram | Democrat | Comments (0)

A feminist fairy tale:
A long time ago, when the land was ruled by George Bush the First, there was a little girl growing up in a small farm town in a place called New Jersey. One day, this little girl’s kindergarten teacher asked a very important question.
“If you could be anything you want when you […]

florida, thanks but no thanks…

by Brian Thomas | Republican | Comments (0)

Those Republicans whom were registered to vote in the closed Florida primary should be proud. Go ahead and give yourselves a round of applause because the DNC (Democratic National Committee) and the far left Moveon.org “liberal lemmings” are praising your efforts as well. Why, do you ask, would they celebrate John McCain’s and Mitt Romney’s […]

bush’s favorite dictatorships

by Stefan Koski | Libertarian | Comments (0)

If The Beatles believed, “All you need is love,” then Bush’s philosophy is that all you need is democracy. Extremists cannot survive in a country with religious tolerance and an open and free democratic process, or so the theory goes.
While on a tour in the Middle East this past month, Bush was touting his love […]

the (_______) kid

by Edward Savoy | Moderate | Comments (0)

Thirty years ago, if a female candidate and a black candidate for president had been contending for a nomination from a major party, at best, the overriding question would have been which one was more irrelevant. At worst, the question would have been which one would get shot first. But today, Barack Obama and Hillary […]

on the big iraq candy mountain

by Max Clark | Moderate | Comments (0)

Sometimes, as I look at the night sky, listening to the presidential debates on You Tube or the news on those endless cable streams, I wonder if I’m all alone out there.
I belong to a certain philosophy that seems strange to many, stupid to more and un-American to most:
I want someone to raise my taxes.
Now, […]

global cooling

by Emma Onom | Republican | Comments (0)

One of the hottest debates of this day and age is, of course, global warming. It is a fascinating topic, because it gets everyone infuriated one way or another, but few people really have any facts. Each time someone rants about whether or not this extreme warming trend exists, the same arguments are thrown out, […]
