Newt and Adolf's Compliant, Understanding Women - - John Sammon
The response from Newt Gingrich to the question at the debate asking him if he asked his wife for an “open marriage,” in other words the right to cheat on her right under her nose with her permission, and the reaction of the crowd in South Carolina, was chilling if one is rational....

It's Time for a Third Major Party - - John Sammon
It’s time for a major third party to compete for the White House if for no other reason than the injection of new blood and new ideas for a mix that has gone stale. Neither of the two traditional parties has shown they are capable of running the country. It shouldn’t take a genius to... Submitted 5 days 17 hours ago.

Herman Cain: Not Supposed to Be Here - - Terry Mitchell

Viewing Differences in GOP, Tea Party, Libertarianism, Fanaticism - Joel Hendon
What conservatives need is to be united! It often seems to become hair-pulling time when you see the widespread differences. The problem is, some have made the self determination that their pet preferences are mandatory or they’ll take their ball and go home. I visualized this dilemma even...

The Devaluation of Intellectuals: Michele Bachmann and the Glorification of Stupidity - Gregory Lewis

Why the Tea Party Republicans Say NO - Tex Norman
Here is a story that I'll use to make my point later: I was born to black belt fundamentalists and drug up in the Church of Christ.

Conservative Versus Liberal - A Peace Offering - - e

On Herman Cain, the Media, and Sexual Harassment Allegations - - Terry Mitchell
Before getting to the sexual harassment allegations, I would like to comment on the mainstream media's lack of understanding of Herman Cain’s web ad in which his campaign manager lights up a cigarette.

Rick Perry’s “Me Too” Tax Plan - - Terry Mitchell
Color me unimpressed with Rick Perry’s new flat-tax plan.

Why the Professional Political Pundits Are Often Wrong - - Terry Mitchell

Shouting From the Edge: Extreme Conservativism - Walter Rhett
A "Conservative populist" is a fiction. It illuminates the same idea-set that worked children in factories, women in sewing rooms well into the night and spied on their personal lives, and gave slaves who were personal servants as gifts to American brides. Because progress and reason across the... Submitted 129 days 1 hour ago.

Social Conservatives Need to Get Aggressive - - Terry Mitchell
I get so disappointed whenever I see a social conservative backing off from their stances during interviews with members of the mainstream media. They seem fearful of being ridiculed by these people. However, in my opinion, this is nothing to be afraid of. In fact, I say it would be a badge of... Submitted 133 days 20 hours ago.

Liberal Talking Points to Right Wing Lies - - e
These are counterarguments to right wing lies. This may also be the last chance at civility.

What Is a Zionist, and Why Should Israel Continue to Exist? - Gregory Lewis
JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - We are locked in a temporal relativism that tends to make us talk about groups of people as if “they were always there.” The Native Americans were always there, until Columbus, followed by Pissarro, Cortez, Ponce de Leon, Cabeza de Vaca and the other Conquistador...

What is a Democrat? - Gregory Lewis

“You Wanted the Truth America” - - Robert Bregman
Dear Democrat and Republican, You wanted the truth. The President is giving it to you. Surprise, you don't want to hear it! I quoted JFK in my last article, it's even more appropriate here.

Tea Party Steam - Tex Norman

Political Limitations - - e
Our current economic woes as a country will surely follow in the footsteps of Greece and California with a political fight ensuing between social program cuts and increased taxes for the wealthy.

State of the Onion - - e
An onion is peculiar in that it has many layers. It also causes you to cry when you peel off the layers. So we could say that the state of the onion is complex, as well as tearful!

Capitalism Versus Socialism - - e
It's rather in these days to disagree rather than cooperate. Log-jamming I think is the term. It seems that instead of looking at what we are disagreeing with, we become caught up in the act of disagreement itself in order to win, in order to keep our large egos inflated. Rather than considering... Submitted 1 year 352 days ago.
