It was a long day; my feet are tired, my voice is sore, and my heart is heavy. I just returned from my first rally in support of the protests in Iran. There were a lot of people there, all of them holding up signs or waving Iranian flags, chanting...

We have spent recent years fighting an unconventional war in a conventional way. We have sent in ground troops and bombed villages to rubble. We tried to scare our enemies into surrender with sadistic strategies such as "shock and awe." Our former president spoke violent words, full of bravado and...

Democracy is filled with heated debate, political rivalry, and, at times, bitter partisanship; but that can be okay, because it's all part of the process. However, there is one implied rule that all of this democracy of ours relies on: that no matter how bitter our fights or how angry...

I did it, I survived the Bush years, and I am assuming, since you are reading this, that so did you. First off let me say, congratulations, you made it farther than many others have. But what's more surprising is not that I survived the Bush years, but that I...

What is this guy doing? What could he possibly be thinking? After years of rubber stamping Bush's policies in the senate he is now saying that he is going to use his political power to obstruct... Barack Obama? What possible reasoning could Harry Reid have in his head to be...

Alright, what he did was bad. It was really bad. His attempt to sell the empty senate seat Obama left behind was an incredibly corrupt act. The arrogance and disregard for ethical behavior he displayed was so ridiculous it borders on farce. The nation has responded appropriately, calls for his...

Change is always a difficult thing to go through because change comes with an element of the unknown. For most change is scary, but for those who are deeply unhappy with the status quo, change is hope. Change is the chance for a welcome respite from the pains of the...

I do not like corporate bailouts. I realize that some may be necessary, but for government to clean up after the private sector, when for years the private sector has been trying to convince us that they can run things so much better than the government, is tremendously infuriating. That...

A core belief can be created within a mass audience through the use of pure repetition. If, as a perceived authority, one was to repeat a point incessantly it would only be a matter of time before people began to believe it. Whether it's a preacher, politician, or pundit, repetition...

After many weeks of wait and worry I positioned myself in front of the television, antacids in hand, for one last night of extreme anxiety. The night unfolded much in the way that many polls said they would, but even though I had studied those polls for months, I began...

First of all, let's clear this up right now. Go look at your passport; under nationality does it say "United States of America?" Then congratulations, you're a real American and part of real America. I know this concept seems too simple, especially if a vice-presidential candidate is so confused by...

Don't bother going to vote on November 4th, because lets face it, you have better things to do.

I mean it's not like this is an important election, one that is going to potentially decide the path the United States end up walking for the next generation or longer. It's...

It's one thing to hate someone's ideas; it's a completely different thing to hate the person. Inside of the conservative movement something dangerous has been growing, something that threatens not only the nation, but the idea of a free and fair democracy: conservative fanaticism. This incredible hazardous movement is...
