' And there they are! bold as brass -- fasces bini --- one on either side of the Speaker's platform !! Are people so blind that they don't see them at every State of the Union broadcast? It has long been clear to me that, without missing a beat, the United States ruling class took the Nazi...

I’m a proponent of a policy based upon Warren Buffett’s unilateral Import Certificates concept. His market, (not government) driven concept would significantly reduce USA’s trade deficit of global goods, be of no net expense to our federal budget, act as a subsidy of our exports and would...

The EU has banned importing oil from Iran as well as placed more sanctions on the country in protest of Iran's nuclear program. Politicians in Tehran are responding with threats of ending shipments starting immediately or blocking the Strait of Hormuz...

So, what's everyone's opinion of the Union Uprising and the Wisconsin 14? I must say I never thought I'd see such an organized worker revolt in this country for at least a decade. I guess the American Left isn't as disorganized as I thought. :)

Obama just presented the State of the Union, emphasizing the number one issue on everyone's mind: the economy. He talked about increasing exports, freezing spending, and improving America's competitiveness. Rep. Paul Ryan made the Republican response in which he heavily stressed debt...

I just ran across this video from Governor Christie of New Jersey at a town hall meeting a couple days ago. I think he brought up some really good points and it is worth a watch: 1ksLlAi3iIc So far, Christie has been pretty good, especially compared to what I thought he would be (and not just...

With the economic crisis in Greece, the EU is expected to be more wary about expansion moving forward. Nothing official has been said yet, but most now agree that Estonia will be the only country to join the EU within the next five years. With people in eastern Europe already showing wariness...

President Obama's State of the Union speech just ended. I will post the video as soon as I can find a full version. In the meantime, what did everyone think? edit: Ok, I found it, but it is in 9 parts. I have embeded the first one below and for others, just click the video and it'll take you...
