May 12, 2011, sometime early in the morning, Ron Paul announces he’s running for President of the United States of America on Good Morning America: He’ll be running initially in the Republican Primary. He makes this announcement to the bastion of right-wing, conservative, Republican politics, George Stephanopoulos. Not sure too many hard-core Republicans were made [...]

I have never seen such a muddled mess as what has become of the Tea Party/Libertarian/Republican discussion. Jane Hamsher of FireDogLake.com, and Huffington Post, takes that confusion to new levels. She’s just all beside herself that Tea Partiers aren’t totally enamored with an avowed Libertarian, mainly in her mind because a Neo-Con supported the Libertarian [...]

I’ve been watching some videos of people getting very agitated while attending health care reform forums. In some cases, legislators have resorted to locking people out entirely, such as this: To ease the tensions surrounding the issue, Obama’s staff have vowed to “punch back twice as hard“. And of course, some Democrats are accusing Republicans, [...]

First of all, let’s see what MEDPAC is. From their site: The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) is an independent Congressional agency established by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (P.L. 105-33) to advise the U.S. Congress on issues affecting the Medicare program. The Commission’s statutory mandate is quite broad: In addition to advising the [...]

In the past, and sometimes nowadays, I have pretty much tired of political parties. We’re in the 21st century. The tool necessary to get the word out in the 18th century just isn’t necessary anymore. Never has party unity and loyalty been any more muddled than this year. Last night, longtime Democrat, and one-tome Democrat [...]

I read this first thing this morning: Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks in an upcoming article, “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” I have real issues with this for several reasons. First of all, what does this have to do with being President of the [...]

Congress passed another non-binding resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran. Specifically targeting those protesting labor rights in Iran. This bill passed 418-1. Wanna guess who voted alone against this bill? One clue, he’s done it before. Yup, that’s right. Ron Paul. One other person felt so unmoved by the plight of those poor souls [...]

In the form of a resolution, Congress took a hard slap at the United Nations Human Rights Council. Basically, it goes like this. The United Nations formed a council to look into human rights violations and do what it can to assure human rights are respected all over the globe. With the continuing genocide in [...]
