Rating the Presidents

Richard Nixon is a widely hated figure in American politics; but I think that the bulk of the hatred that came his way was a result of him being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Late 1960s and early 1970s were a very liberal time in America; and anyone who was not a...

Fix the debt. Restore Clintonomics.

Debt is a big issue in this election, and it should be. Bush added $6 trillion to the debt during eight years, and Obama has added another $4 trillion. While most of the clamouring about the debt comes from Republicans, their solutions are simply impossible, and it is...

Why Progressive Politics Are Supremely American

There are many people in America who refer to some political stances as "un-American." The question becomes, by what standard? America is not a nation that was ever designed to live in a time warp. It is a nation that was intended to grow and develop continuously. And...

Which government is truly best?

It is often repeated in Republican circles that "that government is best which governs the least." When a private citizen says such a thing, there's nothing wrong with it; but when a political candidate says this, it is suspicious. Why is it suspicious? Well, for one, what is...
