  • How to Improve the US Economy - A Political Perspective  By : Thomas Sullivan
    Many people like to talk about the US economy and the direction our country is heading under the Obama administration. This article provides a more pragmatic examination from a political perspective, of how an improvement of the US economy can be achieved. The information presented here is based on the premise that in the end, it is the American people who know what is best for Americans, and not government officials.
  • Saudi Arabia Punishes Women Rights Activists With Lashes. Lets Stop it Together.  By : Roberto Bell
    75-year-old widow named Sawadi in Saudi Arabia was sentenced to 40 lashes and four months in prison for socializing with two men (each 25 years old)that were bringing her bread. The sentence also demands that the woman be deported after serving her sentence.
  • In Iowa, Second Thoughts on Obama  By : Health Insurance
    Pauline McAreavy voted for President Obama. From the moment she first saw him two years ago, she was smitten by his speeches and sold on his promise of change. She switched parties to support him in the Iowa caucuses, donated money and opened her home to a pair of young campaign workers.
  • Montana Stands Up Against Federal Government Tyranny  By : Roberto Bell
    The state of Montana has signed an act into law which is purely constitutional, and by being so flies in the face of eighty years of tyrannical behavior by the federal government.
  • The Presumptive Republican Nominee & That Other Guy  By : Shaikh Asif
    I’ve noticed lately that the media has taken to calling John McCain the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. It’s a strange sort of twist considering that a couple months ago they seemed so certain that McCain was the Republican presidential nominee. It wasn’t so long ago that the media was crowing that all other Republican candidates had dropped out. Yet today we suddenly hear again and again that McCain is the presumptive nominee.
  • Sharing The Most Important Number on Earth  By : Carol Ann Stott
    Global Warming is a phrase that often does not mean enough to many of us because we don't understand what it ia and what we can do about it. This article by Bill McKibben provides a lot of facts and information we can understand and I felt it was worth sharing. As many as can spread the word,...

  • Obama Elected-US Must Avoid A Mistake Made 2000 Years Ago  By : Roy E. Klienwachter
    I am not politically motivated nor do I have any interest in the candidates or their policies. However, I was on occasion drawn to the debates later on in the 2008 US presidential election. I had the opportunity to hear one or two of Obama's speeches. I agree with many
  • An Open Invitation to Mr. Gore  By :
    Al Gore proposes a plan to solve the energy crisis. Four of the plan's five tasks are on the money. A fifth task misses the mark and makes his plan short lived and severely flawed. By adding the production of plentiful and affordable renewable fuels to his plan it can be converted into a blueprint for supplying renewable, emission free energy for centuries. The article ends by inviting Mr. Gore to promote this modified outline.
  • A Central Bank of the World; as if Credit Collapses Aren\'t Already Global Enough  By :
    Critique of the proposal for a World Central Bank.
  • Only In A Rich Country At Peace  By :
    When I read and hear the news, I come to the conclusion that the US is the richest country at peace in the world. We must be. Only in a rich country at peace could so many trivial issues make the news, and occupy our attention and energy. Some examples of what I mean:
  • Alan Greenspan Isn't a Libertarian, Complacency Isn't Stability, and Debt Isn't Wealth  By :
    Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan's fight to keep the derivatives market from regulation, and why it shouldn't have mattered.
  • Victory in Iraq!  By :
    "Victory" is when you have successfully achieved your mission. Our original mission of ridding the world of the threat of Saddam's stockpiles of Weapons of Mass Destruction was achieved before we began. Subsequent missions of freeing the Iraqi people, and forming a democracy in Iraq, have all been achieved. And yet we remain.
  • The 2008 Election - What Obama Stands For  By : John Eberhard
    Over the last 40 years, the Democratic Party in America has moved further and further to the left. And when I say "left," I mean simply – socialist. I mean pro-welfare, pro affirmative action, big spending, big government, higher taxes, pro-abortion, pro-gay, secular, anti-business and anti U.S.
  • Can a Coming Energy Crisis Top the Wall Street Disaster?  By :
    The recent Wall Street disaster reminds us that citizens cannot trust industry. Greed has invaded the most profitable companies to an unacceptable and destructive degree. US citizens must consider the banking crisis as a wake up call for preventing the oil and energy industries from creating an even more destructive energy catastrophe. We must outlaw fossil fuels and begin to produce renewable fuels for keeping the US secure.

  • The Stalking Horse - Should We Drill in Anwar?  By :
    A "Stalking Horse" issue is an issue to divert attention from real issues, and its proponents would gladly debate it forever to avoid having to confront the real issues. The "issues" of drilling in Anwar and off the coast of American cities have little to do with the real issue of confronting our dependency on oil as a fuel.
  • A Credit Collapse, Not a Financial Panic  By :

  • The Obama Meltdown?  By :
    Barack Obama (accidentally) refers to his "Muslim faith" on George Stephanopolous' show, waivers and quakes on every position he has hitherto held (abortion, taxes, Iraq, the surge), and now faces a 10 point deficit to McCain/Palin in the latest USA Today likely voter poll. I can hear the Democrats now, wondering how the rest of America could be so stupid. Someone please be so generous and provide them a mirror.
  • China's growth was not built on Western blessing  By :
    This is a follow-up article of "Mainstream Western media stages Blemishing China Marathon". With the Beijing Olympics closing successfully, the author calls China to clean up its own house and draw selectively from the West. However, China's past economic success was not built on Western blessing and it does not need the approval of the West. Those who are hostil and ill-intentioned should simply be ignored and deemed irrelevant.
  • Mainstream Western media stages  By :
    Ignoring outpouring hospitality of the Chinese people, Mainstream Western media has waged a negative campaign against China to retaliat the country's failure to comply with Western requests at the Beijing Olympics. This article examines the roots of Western media's anger towards China, exposes its hypocrisies & double standards, and advocates a positive-spirited media system on the basis of upholding Chinese public interests.
  • The Reasons Why America Needed GWBush Jr. As Our President  By : Jeffrey A Solochek
    America had become too comfortable with security, with gas pricing, and with certain terrorists in the Middle East. GW Bush had it hard. He could either just be a pansy president and do nothing of significance during his term or shake things up a bit so some drastic changes would be made. We, American's, had become too comfortable in out lives and the time had come when our values needed to be reshaped.
  • Securing Energy Independence for the USA  By :
    Crude oil prices have topped $140. The US dollar is losing ground against the Euro. Increasing oil demand drives Wall Street speculation and puts OPEC in full control. A novel biomass concept can make the US energy self-sufficient. To develop the technology and use this concept, the US must establish an agency with the mission, program, and budget to make the US independent of foreign oil imports!
  • If You Want Government to Listen, You've Got To Make the Ask!  By :
    Getting legislators to listen doesn't have to be difficult. One of the most important things you need to remember is to "make the ask." Advocacy Guru Stephanie Vance explains why, and how, in this article.
  • The Credit Crisis Is Fuelled By Fuel Prices  By :
    Much of the financial crisis in the world is caused by a lack of confidence between banks and financial institutions and their clients which are symptoms of the credit crunch not the root cause.

    The fact is the simplest solution to stop global warming involves you making a major change in your relationship to your car.
  • Key Energy Technologies for Booming World Economies  By :
    World economies will falter without the secure supply of plentiful and affordable energies. Fossil fuels are emitting harmful greenhouse gases. Three forms of energy can supply all energy needs and can be converted from inexhaustible energy sources: electricity, liquid fuels, and process gases. We must develop a few key technologies now to gain access to these virtually limitless energies. Otherwise, world economies will be harmed forever.
  • Petroleum, the Triple Threat to World Economies  By :
    Global warming and climate change are caused by fossil fuel combustion. Accelerating energy consumption by China and India will increase average global temperatures 4 to 5 degrees Celsius in 2050 from those in 1900. Petroleum is the only transportation fuel. At an annual consumption of 50 billion barrels the reserves of 1 to 2.3 trillion barrels will run out in 20 to 50 years. Lack of transportation fuels will wreck economies.

    This article is taken from The A-Z of Global Warming, a book on all issues relating to global warming and climate change written in unique A-Z format. The Article is first in a series of extracts from the book, to be published in May 2008.
  • The False Promise Of Ethanol  By :
    The article deals with the efficiency of ethanol as motor fuel and with its ability to contribute to a reduction in global warming. Fossil fuels are the major contributors to global warming and resulting climate change. They must be replaced by carbon-neutral motor fuels very soon. Ethanol is being promoted in the USA as a major contributor to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and control of global warming. These claims are disputed.

  • Can You Think Of Who Would Benefit From Establishing World Peace?  By :
    It is impossible to mention all the benefits of establishing a peaceful and civilized world, but without a doubt The People will be the major benefactors and since they operate the governments, religions, and corporations those things will also benefit.
  • The Natural Common Bonds Between All People  By :
    We have been using a survey to prove a point about what common bonds All People share. These are ten questions that you can ask any person on earth and get the same answer. There are many more questions that All People will answer the same but these ten will prove the point.
  • World Peace: The Misconception And The Truth  By :
    It is not written in the bible, ancient scriptures, modern writings, or in any present legal documents that humans must never attempt to achieve peace on earth. When we build self-imposed mental barriers based on unproven assumptions or beliefs, we retard our ability to think and reason, which hinders our natural ability to solve problems.
  • A Message To All Peace Activist And Peace Seekers  By :
    The missing element in the peace movements has always been the lack of a practical plan for peace that provides a logical alternative to all war that will be universally accepted by everyone. This is why peace organizations rarely last the test of time. Just protesting with "stop this" or "stop that" and not providing a long lasting permanent solution to the problem will lose steam after a while.
  • The Rational For Establishing World Peace  By :
    We can logically assume that World Peace is something that 99.9% of the 6.5 billion People in this world would want and support if there was a way to achieve that World Peace that was practical, logical, morally right, non-violent and serves the good of All People and their governmental structures equally.

However, the Federal Reserve should see through these self-serving calls and hold rates steady for the time being.
  • Sen. Larry Craig and the Other Side of the Coin  By : Rev Michael Bresciani

  • What Happened To Our Democracy?  By :
    The biggest change in American democratic history came about as a result of World War II and the introduction of the nuclear bomb. From the mid 40's to the early 50's two different directions became available for our government to choose from. One direction was for our government to embrace the principles of the newly formed United Nations, which was originally handed all the tools necessary to civilize this world.
  • Law of Attraction Classics: Suggestion is Power - Politics  By : Robert C. Worstell
    Have you ever thought something magic was happening in your life - that if you only knew how it worked, you could get more of these great magic things happening? Charles M. Bristol thought so - and wrote a book about it. Here we have the Law of Attraction in many, many examples throughout his personal experiences and history itself. Here, Bristol discusses how repetition of given phrases had impact during the last world war...
  • Tyranny Terror and Moral Relativism - America's Shifting Battlefronts  By : Rev Michael Bresciani
    America was founded on the premise that men should live without tyranny from oppressive rulers and laws. It is a battle that never really ends. Tyranny has two equally dangerous and deadly sisters creeping into America’s social fabric and both are endowed with deep skullduggeries.

  • Strong Medicine for the Immigration Problem  By : John Burke
    Like many California residents, I have mixed feelings about the influx of Mexican immigrants who are here illegally. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but Governor Schwarzenegger's recent proposal to insure all children in our state regardless of their immigration status struck a nerve with me as a medical professional.
  • Is There Anything More Disingenuous Than a Whining, Petulant Political Party in America?  By :
    Presidential elections provide a lot of humor when you can recognize the joke. Every few days some new, outrageous flap kicks another outrageous flap off of the front page of our nation's daily newspapers. I do not care if political parties whine about the events of the day. What I do care about is the righteousness with which the Democrats and Republicans do whine and complain. Please spare me the soap opera

    The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and other gay rights activist groups are opposing President Bush’s nomination for Surgeon General, Dr. James Holsinger. Is his science wrong?
  • Vote Whoopi As Our NeXt President  By : Jeffrey A Solochek
    If our forefathers were here today they would either scout out an island someplace and found a new country or commit suicide. These days it is not a choice of who will run our country the best but a choice in who will finch off the United States the fastest. Hillary could win because she is female and a Democrat but this is a scary thought, are we the next Iron Curtain?

  • The Blogs the Borg - Six of One Half Dozen of the Other  By : Rev Michael Bresciani
    After several years of internet article writing and publishing I have answered blog replies less than a half dozen times. I have never regretted getting involved with the ranting but I have carefully followed and scrutinized thousands of blogs.
  • European Socialism is supporting Islamo-fascism  By :
    Multi-culturalism leads ineluctably to the collapse of civilization. It divides up society into groups and protest fora. It destroys the majoritarian culture and intelligent political discourse. It excuses itself from the difficult tasks of building civilization. It acquiesces as political demagogues usurp more power and more money, to appease cultural and societal sensibilities. So it comes to pass that socialist sympathy allies itself with Islamo-fascism.
  • The Arar case - if there is smoke there is fire  By :
    ‘Conservative’ leader and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper badly needs Arab votes to improve his political position. The Arab lobby in Montreal and Toronto is very strong. Arab and Muslim money already greases the wheels of the Liberal party federally and in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. In both major cities the Arabs and Muslims comprise 15 % of the voting populist. Harper, ever the populist, desires to maintain power and form a majority government. Welcome to the decadence of multi-cultural politics – regardless of what the truth is, or what good policy might be.
  • Why Cuba is superior  By :
    Dear comrades I write you while in ill health but still supremely confident of my own egotistical grandeur and historical relevance. I write you as your ageing but superlative expression of true manhood and physical male glory. I write you not as an old, tired leader worn down by my ceaseless struggles against the satanic forces that control the world political-economy; but as a prophet of socialist utopia and a caring father of our beloved island. I am dear friends, writing to you as a companion of Christ, a comrade of Che Guevara and Hugo Chavez and the greatest benefactor that Cuba has ever seen. I write to inform you of our own greatness and of my own magnificence and to make sure that beyond my life we carry on in Cuba and in all of Latin America our glorious revolution.
  • In defence of the Christian nation state  By :
    Nation states are necessary creations allowing varied and formulaic control over political, legal and economic processes for a defined geographically bound group of people. Nation states are more however than economic unions, common spaces, and constitutional mandates. They are organisms. Cultural mores, emotional attachments, and collective understandings are far more important to the development and maintenance of a nation state than elitist documents; arcane legal statutes; or multi-cultural inspired concepts of being nice, diverse or happy. A nation state is a collection of people with shared linguistics, histories, aptitudes, and objectives. Yet here we have the soft modern Western mind and state, engaged in a war with Islamic fascists, erecting more mindless mommy-state programs, secularism and destroying civilisational concepts and nation state creations through Islamic immigration, appeasement, multi-culturalism and post modern socialist management and ethos. It is a highly disturbing and enraging scenario.
  • The metamorphosis of Socialism to Populist Statism  By :
    As welfare demands, reforms and expectations have grown so too has government’s ability to recast political ideology and terms in its own self interested favour. Especially poignant has been government’s reordering of economic, moral and spatial values in the left vs. right terminology. Government reform of its economic philosophy to become more liberal and egalitarian has also instigated a redefinition of socialism’s attitude towards its own populist configuration.
  • The old Oracle of Delphi in the new Eco-cult of Al Gore  By :
    The original earth goddess cult at Delphi in ancient Greece has many similarities with today’s eco-fascist earth loving cult. Both are pagan. Both rely on unscientific methods. Both are regulated by a high priest caste. Both extract monies for their ‘prophecies’. Both provide gibberish dressed up as intelligence. Both desire to manipulate politics for monetary advantage. Both are deranged. Yet the Romans had to good sense to shut down the Oracle at Delphi in 390 AD. I wonder if we have the good sense to shut down the modern version of the earth goddess cult?
  • The great historian Braudel and climate change.  By :
    From the handy Webster dictionary the entry for ‘cult’ is: ‘…great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially: such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad.’ Devotion to a fad is the key idea. It is an apt description of the mother Gaia cult of eco-fascist hyperbole and irrationality – devoted to implausible and unscientific ideas and abstract Marxist ideology. The current ‘green’ cult is no more intelligent, rational or environmentally friendly than the earth cults of Sumeria, Assyria, ancient Egypt or the 2000 year old pagan cult centered at Delphi in Greece. Nor is it more enlightened and relevant than the Druidic cults which were smashed by the Romans in Gaul and Britain. Cults are simply bad news.
  • Science Of Public Opinion  By : Gabriel Rise
    Public opinion, at its simplest, can be defined as an aggregation of individual opinions.
  • Y-2-Kyoto  By :
    Imagine if you will, you are a judge presiding over a criminal trial. The Crown Prosecutor stands up and says, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I say to you 'unequivocally,' that providing our computers are right, and providing the DNA evidence is correct, we are '90 percent certain' that the defendant is 'very likely' guilty."
  • The unbearable stupidity of Al Gore  By :
    There are many descriptions which aptly fit Al Gore the 35 year political veteran. Appellations such as dumb, deceitful, ignorant, demagogic, hypocrite, or mad would be appropriate. Gore has raised money illegally, lied incessantly on various topics, paid his own firm to trade ‘credit-emissions’ to offset his ‘carbon footprint’ and uttered phrases so mind-numbingly dumb that even G.W. Bush’s inconsistent grasp of English and logic looks Churchillian by comparison.
  • Victims of Political Correctness  By : Rev Michael Bresciani
    I opened up my e-mail and clicked on a published article that ended with a line that said “I don’t believe that homosexuality is immoral…” It was proudly signed by the author and accompanied with contact information to the authors e-mail.
  • Exceptions abound but in general women are naturally left wing and Marxist  By :
    A feminist-marxist magazine sums up some deep reservations I have about women and their massive impact socially and politically, exemplified by this column from March 2006, “..women…struggle to affirm rights and end all forms of exploitation and oppression…[and the] brutality of imperialism to block any such efforts. From the successes of the Palestinian people...to the refusal of the peoples of Haiti, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cuba, Venezuela and other countries to accept U.S. dictate…women have been in the forefront of these struggles.” Sane no. Accurate no. But relevant – incredibly so.
  • A comparison of tax rates in the OECD  By :
    A critical component for the elite of the current nation state is the statist and populist desire to control the resources of production and to manage the distribution of wealth and to a lesser extent consumption. This has meant that in the West we have seen an increase in the practice of private property (income streams) and capital (taxation, regulation, foreign investment controls, regulation and control of key industry sectors, FDI limitations), expropriation by the state. These ‘borrowed’ monies are then redistributed in various guises to the working classes, the old, those below certain income ranges, people in certain regions, state sponsored industry sectors, health and welfare programs, and state building programs of all sizes and shapes.
  • Lumber - an example of Canadian trade hypocrisy  By :
    You have to love a country that disengages itself from reality so often. The Canadians – smug, moralistic, largely ignorant about history, economics and the world at large – declare themselves superior, intelligent and advanced. The Multi-Cult club of anti-Western, anti-American and anti-Jewish policy reigns beloved. Whole industries lie under government control to the detriment of bank accounts and morality. Boards manage all commodities excluding oil. Lumber which is a politically sensitive and vital regional jobs program in many parts of the country is massively subsidized by more than $4 billion per annum. Yet to hear the Canadians chatter about lumber you would think that they are pristine virtuous virgins engaged in acts of morality while the hated Americans are planning the destruction of thousands of unionized Canadian jobs and the shuttering of Canadian villages dependent on the lumber trade. The fact that Canada will forever subsidize its lumber and never solve the systemic problems in the lumber trade highlights the poverty of big socialism.
  • The coddling of Canada [wah wah] – an interpretation.  By :
    Economic mismanagement. That is the basic tenor of the first article reviewing the Canadian mommy-state by the National Post. One fact is obvious in appraising the destructive array of Canadian subsidies; regulations; bureaucracies; taxation and spend policies. Without the US economy as a neighbor, Canada would be either have to reform itself or be even poorer.
  • Blaring Double Standards in the Cultural Diversity Movement  By : Rev Michael Bresciani
    Proponents of cultural diversity and tolerance are steadily leaving behind a trail of blaring inconsistencies and blatant double standards. Will the age of reason end with technology being the only thing society nearly mastered even while social experimentation lies weak and whimpering in the wings?

  • CommonSenseGovernment.com: Liberal Bias in Our Communication Channels  By : John Eberhard
    It has become more and more obvious in recent years that there is a strong liberal bias in those who control certain communication channels in American society. I'm talking about the mainstream news media, college campuses, and the entertainment industry.
  • The War Against Terror: Another Incovenient Truth  By : KC
    Perhaps the biggest challenge facing America today is the war against terror. Opinions are strong both ways whether you support or oppose it. And the national debate is heated. Is this war worth fighting or are we wasting our time and resources?
  • Troop Surge in Iraq will deepen Quagmire  By :

  • Guilt, Winning and Losing  By : John Eberhard
