I ran across a few articles [1] and web sites [2] that are trying to position Mitt Romney as a presidential candidate for 2008. And although they claim it’s very possible, I just am not sure someone like Romney will be able to win the Presidency.
So I just finish “1984” by George Orwell. It’s a pretty amazing and unique book. I think there are many people familiar with this book. If you haven’t read the book, I’m sure you are at least familiar with one of the main concepts in the book: Big Brother.
I would like to submit a recent Orson Scott Card article as my follow-up to a recent post on illegal immigration. His words could have easily been said by myself (with some minor differences), except with much less eloquence. For the most part, I completely agree with what he says. My only issue is that…

Sometimes, someone comes along with a brilliant idea. And this idea is brilliant (http://www.viewfromcenter.com). I’ve contemplated it quite frequently and the author of this blog and I have discussed this multiple times in the past.

So I learned something the other day. For the last several decades (more so in the 1980’s than in the last 16 years), we have heard warnings and cautions from scientists and environmental groups about global warming and the affects humans have on the environment. The other day, however, I read several articles. The most…

Sometimes I wish I live in Canada. My employer is rolling out changes to our healthcare plan. “You now have more options,” they say. Which of course, we do. What they don’t tell you up front is that 2 of the 3 plans will cost you more than you are currently paying on a monthly…

So my brother over at Political and Philosophic Ponderings poses an interesting question: Are Latin American Immigrants Liberal or Conservative? He points out that morally speaking, they align more with conservative thought. But the Republican Party doesn’t appear to realize this huge potential voting resource. Instead, they ostracize them because they can’t look past the…
