Many people with criminal backgrounds experience legal discrimination and blatant bigotry within general society.  Though there are indeed certain heinous crimes that warrant these actions or consequence, this does not make up the vast majority of crimes committed.  I have compiled some information to show those of you who wish to be the “lock ‘em up and throw away the key” types, that your views are homes built on sand.  We are all accountable for our choices, whether criminal or...

There is indeed no oil shortage, nor is there a food shortage. Global demand for both food and energy has been regularly outpaced by the supply but prices on both commodities have skyrocketed. Despite political rhetoric about needing to produce more oil and build more refineries domestically, that will not change the price, nor will any refineries come online anytime soon. All of those "solutions" will take years and cost a lot of money. Besides, here in Canada we're reg...

Let's make one thing clear first, I am not a 'Democrat.' In fact, I think three-quarters of those who refer to themselves these days aren't really 'democrats.'  They are leftists wearing democratic clothing, but I can assure you there is nothing democratic about leftist regimes.  Read your history books, kiddies.  Read and learn.

That being said, I have had a deep and abiding dislike of Hillary Clinton since her hubby Bill first took office and she took it upon herself to attem...

This really will not take long.  When Mr. Bill Clinton was in office I sat down and did a simple psycholgical analysis of him. It was not that flattering.

A few minutes ago I watched Barak Hussien Obama speak about everything that is wrong with Mr. Jeremia Wright's latest diatribe.

I saw Mr. Obama smiling to himself in what I would describe a gloating fashion.  The three instances werer as Obama came to point in his speech were he believed that his carefully crafted words were go...

Do I hate gays?  The answe is no.  I think hate is a useless emotion that does not build anything positive.

However, if homosexual relationships are suppose to be about loving some one and sharing your life with them, then why all the politics?  There in is my discontent.  I believe in the right of individuals to live their "private lives" according to their desires.  It is not for me to offer opinion, nor petition congress.

Gays and lesbians cannot say their lives...

I love this news (from Associated Press, by Mark Sherman, Associated Press Writer):

Supreme Court upholds photo ID law for voters in Indiana

For details on who voted what ways for this one:

As the election year drags on, I have actually begun giving strong consideration to voting for a candidate I would have never considered. While I disagree with many of his ideas, it is quite possible (depending on the LP candidate) that my vote may go for Ralph Nader.

Why is this? First of all, integrity. While I don't fall for the "Chicken Littles" of this world, Nader is at least a true believer. One who takes his responsibilities seriously. You can use a lot of adjectives to describe Nader...

As millions of Americans are reeling in some of the harshest economic times our generation has faced (unemployment numbers and GDP don't tell the whole story), it would seem they would gear November's vote towards helping in what few areas it can. And it stands to reason if they vote for a Democratic President AND a Democratic Congress that one of two things will happen. Either a) they will need to abandon every campaign promise immediately; or b) they will plunge us further into recession.

W...

I didn't think I'd actually agree with this line of thought, but after reading through this blog article on Slate, I have to say it makes a lot of sense.  Obama should drop out.  He should drop out NOW.  Get out of the race and let the chips fall where they may.

Yup, Obama should get out of the race immediately,

I can't seem to find sleep right now, so I'm sitting here reading about a number of JU members' campaigning for the nomination for the President of the United States. (Texas Wahine's Isabella offers the most compelling arguement, and thus she still holds my JU selection, but I digress.) So, I thought, "let's have a little fun," (a novel idea, I know).

If you could choose ANYONE to be YOUR presidential nominee, who would it be? To make it even more fun, offer a SERIOUS candidate and then ...

Opening up the kangaroo court for the readers to take sides and tell me which approach is 'right' or 'wrong' here.  Please offer your verdict (opinion) in the commentary and feel free to take offense with the approach that others may have for this subject.

There used to be a time that it was easy to predict political outcomes in America.  All a person had to do was see which candidate the news media spent most of its time rediculing and reporting on that candidates "integrity flaws".  For example when ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and all the rest spent almost every reporting minute reporting on "its the economy stupid" during the George H Bush vs. Slick Willy presidential campaing. 

It was not the economy.  Unemployment was low and ec...

Cedarbird would make the best president for three reasons. She will get respectfrom foreign nations, she has all the necessary experience, and she willlead the nation through the turbulent times we face.

First: Cedarbird would make the best president because she will get respect from foreign nations. Being from a foreign nation herself, but a citizen of this one, other nations will see the two cultures combined in one fantastic South American US citizen. Additionally, being in the prime of...

Neither candidate was impressive during the debate. When that happens the media goes to the play book and changes the story. Neither Senator Clinton nor Senator Obama was able to answer honest questions without stumbling and seeming like they did not know that the American people would want to know their thoughts or opinions on these topics.  The front runner Senator (empty suit) Obama does not know anything about economics suggesting that his presidency would be as economically succes...

San Chonino would make the best president for three reasons.  He will get respect from foreign nations, he has all the necessary experience, and he will lead the nation through the turbulent times we face.

 

First:  San Chonino would make the best president because he will get respect from foreign nations.  Our opponents respect hotties, and he is pretty much the biggest hottie of them all.  Having an ol...
