- Politics, Martial Arts, Character, And Confidence
By: Fred Nicklaus | - Mixing politics with martial arts, character, and confidence. Could be a fairly flammable combination. Oh well, a political rant along with a message.
I get so sick of hearing about the Democrats and Republicans. I may have already irked some reading this. Am I saying that I'm not a Democrat or Republican, I guess I'm for working together and getting the job done. It seems to me that before a politician worries about party affiliations he/she should worry about whether he/she is a ...

- Politics And Elections On A Political Societal Level
By: Harry James | - Politics and the Law of Attraction definitely mix. When people think of the Law of Attraction (LOA) they tend to focus upon
money, health, relationships, employment and generally personal issues. However, the basic tenet of the LOA is that it
operates all of the time, in every situation and at every level of society. There is no time or place or issue that is not
under the LOA. Gravity works on the planet for the rich and the poor, for the young an ...

- The Role Of A Watchdog In Texas Politics
By: Chris Robertson | - While the slogan "Don't Mess with Texas" is a product of the state's Department of Transportation effort to clean up litter, the adage also applies to those who act as a watchdog over Texas politics. As also holds true in many other states, issues pertaining to the Texas government often fly under the radar and are either unreported or underreported by the daily newspapers and television news broadcasts. When that happens, it's up to watchdog groups and publications to shine the light on politic ...

Americans have always had a say in their government, at least in theory. Since the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783, the United States of America has been the "land of opportunity," where even a lowly log-splitter, exercising sufficient brains and dedication, can raise himself to the highest executive office. The U.S. Constitution safeguards the right to vote for every citizen over eighteen years of age, with few exception ...

- Vote For Mike Gravel In 2008
By: James Randall Twist | - Former Alaskan Senator Mike Gravel is running for President in 2008. If you are a progressive person who is looking for real change in 2008 then I believe that you must look past the front runners such as Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack Obama and look towards Mike Gravel.
While Clinton, Edwards, and Obama will all make much better presidents than George W. Bush (or John McCain or Rudy Giuliani for that matter) they will also offer "politics as usual" and they are unlik ...

By: simi | - Everyone knows that clothes make the man. From the executive
suits that litter Wall Street like the remnants of a ticker-tape
parade to the coveralls and work boots worn by construction
workers and mechanics, clothes tell the story of who we are and
where we're going. Even when the workday is done, what we
choose to wear on our own time is still a reflection of our
personalities. From the sweat-suit to the wet-suit, our clothes

intentions. Instead of seeking to serve the people and heal
our nation's ills, their actions and decisions are primarily
motivated by their desire for power. Many of the people

sex, power and control. Unfortunately, few truly healthy
individuals want to submit themselves to the necessary
abuses inherent to our political ra ...

By: simi | - I spent years in deep denial about office politics. I flatly
refused to believe it was necessary to "play" politics in
order to succeed. And - with a symbolic if not actual
stamp of my foot - if it was necessary, then I'd sacrifice
my career on the altar of my disdain!
Many people confound themselves with the same denial and the
same definition of office politics: bad, deceitful, backstabbing,
brown-nosing - all of the slimy things w ...
