    How long until the Fed becomes the number 1 buyer of American debt?

    After a treasury auction earlier this month, the Fed became the 2nd largest holder of US debt after China. It is only a matter of time before it surpasses China and becomes the number one holder of American debt. It truly amazes me how little people talk about this or care about this- perhaps...

    So what is the real truth about the American spokesman for El Qaeda?

    The recent news release about an El Qaeda person of American descent had me completely intrigued yesterday. Al-Qaida's American-born spokesman on Sunday called on Muslims serving in the U.S. armed forces to emulate the Army major charged with killing 13 people in Fort Hood. He is 31 years old...

    Calling American Forum Regulars - Just a bit of help?

    I still seem to be having a bit of problem with the American version of the term "Liberal". On the political spectrum, i am told, it is around the centre-right. Is that correct? Could a forum regular that's been here a while give me a quick run-down of what precisely it entails? And also, being...

    What does the Tea Party movement mean for American politics?

    The Wall Street Journal recently conducted a poll (I'll try to find it again and post it later) asking people how they feel about the Democrats, Republicans, and the tea party movement.

    Obama not a 'Natural born' American?

    So here is the argument... And of course, most people who debate it end up agreeing to disagree. Many people just do not believe the 'Certificate of Live Birth' that was supposedly presented from Hawaii. At the same time, the other side will swear up and down that the cert. is 100% authentic...
