A battle over who to blame for rising health-care costs is escalating, as groups seek to pin the problem on each other and say none of the health-care legislation under consideration does enough to solve it.U.S. spending on health care reached $2.5 trillion in 2009, according to federal estimates. It is expected to jump [...]

I’m 15 pages deep into Economics 201 I don’t know near enough to figure out what has and hasn’t work in our economy in the past few years. I’m sure that with one to two more years of study I still won’t know enough to figure it out. What I do know is that [...]

President Elect Obama released his first “fireside” chat that can be viewed below in its entirety.
It sounds like Jessica and I were correct in the belief that we would see a shift from the military industrial complex to civic works and green energy. I think these are both going to be [...]

Obama won the election much to the chagrin of republicans across the nation. In his acceptance speech he spoke of the challenges that we are facing and that the solutions could take years or even an entire term before we see change. Legislation takes time – we’ve got to understand that he is [...]

When I was in high school I loved debate class. I spent more of my time and energy on that class than any other subject. There was something about humiliating another person with logic, reason, and facts that drew me in from the start. For the large part, I spent my time debating varsity [...]

Maybe it’s because this is the first time I will legally be able to exercise my responsibility as an American citizen or maybe it’s because I want to see this county take a turn for the better. For whatever reason it is, it’s given me a little bit more passion about this presidential election. [...]

Palin for VP as a white woman. Obama for President as a black man. One of these two will find themselves in one of the highest (or highest) positions in the planet. I’m proud to see that my country has finally found a little diversity in our politics because we’ve had it in our [...]

I received this article earlier today and I’ve got to say that I think that the author is absolutely insane!
I am still amazed that closed minded people still exist – this probably comes from the same people that think that minorities are the cause of ALL of our economic and social woes. Read below for the biggest piece of crap I’ve read in the past six months. Jessica read it and is freaking out because she “Barracks the vote” I’m sure Ann Coulter’s satanic tail is twitching as she digs into this one believing that we are going to fall into a jihad in America if Obama won the general election. The reality is that she and other like her are bat-shit insane for believing this kind of crap.
Rich Carrol – I hope you don’t have children – in fact, I hope that you have a freak accident that removes your ability to breed because you are a fool.
I searched for responses to this crap and found a few gems
Man your rants got me real shook! World will end if Obama is elected! Muslims will steal my daughter and wife!! US will be forced to not drink!! UN will rule our parking lots! And other crazy crap that you know doubt have thought of too!!! Wow! Facts to back up your paranoid rant would be a real plus!! Good luck during the coming apocalyptic jihad!!! Salaam Alekum!
The only saving grace of this article is that it will only be taken seriously by those who believe that Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly are serious political commentators.
Conspiracy theory is not political commentary.
The Jihad Candidate – by Rich Carroll
Conspiracy theories make for interesting novels when the storyline is not so absurd that it can grasp our attention. ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ and ‘Seven Days in May’ are examples of plausible chains of events that captures the reader’s imagination at best-seller level. ‘What if’ has always been the solid grist of fiction. Get yourself something cool to drink, find a relaxing position, but before you continue, visualize the television photos of two jet airliners smashing into the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan and remind yourself this cowardly act of Muslim terror was planned for eight years.

Hillary won’t quit even though she can’t win – ever. She should throw in the towel because its only hurting her party as a whole. I like John McCain and I also like Obama but I’d rather have a fair fight. Why won’t she quit?
The better answer is that Clinton’s long rear-guard action [...]

First off, I am an undecided voter who is unsure as to what party or candidate that he will be voting for in the general election in November. I am worried about our country as a whole and I am particularly worried about our the education of Americans and our job market. I’ve been [...]
