Election 2012 And The Korus Fta - A Make Or Break Situation By: Angel Maxim | - 2012 is shaping up to be a big year for U.S.-Korea relations. The long-stalled free trade agreement between Korea and the United States was finally signed by both governments late last year and should see the beginning stages of implementation during the 1st quarter of 2012. However, the full implementation of the KORUS FTA will hinge upon the results of presidential elections in South Korea and the United States.
88 Reasons Why President Obama Is Unworthy Of A Second Term By: Bruno Korschek | - After observing and analyzing the first three years of President Obama's time in office, I have come to the conclusion that the country cannot endure, heal, or grow if he is allowed to serve a second term. His behavior and results, as viewed from many different perspectives, have come up short relative to facing, addressing, and resolving the major issues facing America today. On each of those issues, America is not better, and on many cases worse off, then we were three short years ago.

Mr. Trump as President may be a contentious subject among voters. There are two extreme groups of people today; the initial group of individuals is extremely supportive of him while other group is set in direct resistance against him. Regardless, he does have several crucial attributes that could qualify him as a President. A number of the things which make him a serious contender for the top job consist of:
Anti-intellectual Crusade Against Obama Continues By: The Grio | - Though it takes Rick Perry a little longer than most of his peers to remember complicated matters like hisown political agenda, he seems to recognize at least one thing: His dreams of the presidency are fading fast amidst one embarrassing gaffe after another. And like most people in his situation, he's desperate and doing whatever it takes to return back to both the spotlight and his old position in the polls.
Unsung American Hero By: Skip Conover | - "The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power." Alexander Hamilton
The Importance Of Hard Work By: Robert Wilson | - Often, when people encounter a great deal of difficulty in their lives, they are inclined to stop trying altogether. They may say that life is inherently unfair, and that they have been dealt a worse hand than everyone else has. They might believe that successful people became so because success was handed to them, and that life is just kinder to some than it is to others. Those who have achieved their wildest dreams have done so because they are fortunate, and those who have not should accept t ... Tags:hard work
The Last Place Pittsburgh Pirates And Our Last Place Economy By: Bruno Korschek | - The Federal government released the latest data on the economy recently and the data is not good, according to a July 8, 2011 Associated Press article covering the findings:
- Employers added the fewest jobs to the economy in nine months, 57,000.
- The economy needs to add 125,000 jobs a month just to keep up with population growth and twice that many just to start bringing down the unemployment rate. At 57,000 jobs in June, that goal was missed by about 73%.
Revolutionary Reality In Yemen - The Consequences For The West By: Phil Marks | - The injuries that President Saleh of the Yemen sustained recently in a bomb blast would appear to have effectively ended his presidency. The power vacuum that exists in the country whilst the different factions battle for ascendancy is a concern. Less than 25 miles away from the Yemeni coastline lies Djibouti, in Africa. Little is heard in the news about this independent republic and former French colony.
Maybe It Should Be Prince Obama Vs. President Obama By: Bruno Korschek | - If you were to look at a hypothetical report card of President Obama from the past two and half years, the following facts jump to the head of the list:
- The President set a record for most foreign trips in the first year of his Presidency, exceeding first year foreign trips of every other U.S. President that came before him.
- In the first two years of his Presidency, he visited 42 countries (includes multiple visits to the same country).
Was The Economic Crisis Manufactured? By: Nancy Morgan | - In the summer of 2008 as McCain and Obama were in the midst of their campaigns to capture the presidency, a series of events dramatically changed the focus of the campaign from Iraq to the economy. From that point on, Obama took the lead and eventually won the presidency.
Now, a full two years later, the Pentagon has issued a report on the series of events that led to the 2008 economic crash. Bill Gertz writes in the Washington Times:
Harry Truman: Synonymous To Independence By: keventailor | - Experience the eventful and triumphant life of Americas 33rd President. Permanent museum attractions include Harry S.

A Nation In Peril: The United States Healthcare Crisis By: High procs | - In 2006, the United States Census reported that 46 million Americans have no health insurance, which includes 9 million children who are lacking. The sad truth is that over 18,000 people will die each year because they are uninsured. Even with all of this, United States health care spending is an astounding $2 trillion each year, or roughly $6,700 per person. The nation continues to spend significantly more on health care than any other countries in the world.
Yet Americans are still lacki ... Tags:medical practice management
Glenn Beck 8/28 Rally - Review And Opinion By: Rob Stanley | - One thing that can be said about Glenn Beck and the 8/28 Restoring Honor Rally in Washington D.C. is that anyone who can fill the National Mall with a crowd of that magnitude MUST have a message that's solidly resounding with Americans. These were people from every walk of life, from all parts of the country - a giant slice of America that represented men and women of all ages, nationalities, and backgrounds. In compliance with Beck's request, there were no signs or banners, except for the occas ...

It's not a secret! The President himself said it loud and clear on just about every media outlet - and he didn't hold back. He said "if we don't pass this health bill, America will be bankrupt". In my view, the question is what has a health bill got to do with the solvency of our treasury?
Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss - Is Obama Really That Different From Bush? By: Bruno Korschek | - "Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss." This line is from a classic Who song, "We Won't Get Fooled Again." Unfortunately, it looks like we did get fooled again, electing a new President in 2008 that has turned out to be not much different than the previous one or the one before that or the one before that, etc. Let's take a look at the first year and a half of the Obama Presidency and see how similar he is to his predecessor, George W. Bush, and others before Bush:
Socialism Is Deadly By: Tr Cojoc | - Socialism is not self-sustainable. It needs a leader to employ the power of the state to achieve its goals.
Soviet Union was established in 1922. It called itself Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Albert Einstein is German born American Physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity.

Scott Brown For Health Insurance Reform Before He Was Against It? By: Yamileth Medina | - Senator-elect Scott Brown won his seat largely due to voter discontent over healthcare reform. The newest Massachusetts senator is a symbol of populist anger, and a possible harbinger for more wide-ranging Democratic defeats in the fall mid-term elections. He has vowed to be the 41st vote that will stand in the way of health insurance legislation. Ironically, it turns out that Brown voted in favor of his state's healthcare reform legislation, which was enacted in 2006.
America Displays The Fourteen Defining Traits Of Fascism By: Pat Boardman | - The ideology of fascism was developed by Benito Mussolini as a reactionary movement following World War I that was based on a rejection of the social theories that formed the basis of the 1789 French Revolution and summed up in the revolutionary French slogan: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity". The U.S. Bill of Rights was originally based on these concepts so that people could have liberty from oppressive government intervention in the daily lives of its citizens "" liberty from illicit search ...

When political times get tough for liberal Democrats in Washington, conservative conspiracies are the bogeymen of choice.
Back in 1998 when things got tough for Bill Clinton, Hillary declared that there was a "vast right-wing conspiracy" looking to bring her husband down. Other Democrats where quick to pick up the mantra and do anything they could to discredit those who criticized Clinton.
World War 2 - The Build Up To War By: Richard McMunn | - On the 1st April 1924, for his part in the failed Beer Hall Putsch Hitler was sentenced to serve Five years in Landsberg Prison, a sentence for which he served little less than a year. During his trial Hitler popularity soared as he was given unrivalled amount of time to speak turning him from a local personality, to a National figure. When serving time in Landsberg Hitler would receive favoured treatment from the prison guards and much mail from admirers, however the majority of his short stay ...

Obama's Hundred Days By: Nate Gillespie | - April 29 isn't a date that would normally stand out on the calendar. This year it falls on a Wednesday, almost but not quite marking the end of the month. We suspect that most years, April 29 would slip by without most of us taking any particular notice of it.
But this year, perhaps for the only time ever, April 29 will be received with great fanfare. This year, April 29 will have its day in the sun, temporarily rivaling more famous dates like July 4 or October 31. Why? Because this ...

The Inauguration Of Barack Obama - A/k/a Barry Soetoro By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - Twenty two percent of the United States voted for Obama in the general election. John McCain drew a little under Obamas tally so that means that 78 percent of the nation either voted for McCain or did not vote at all. With all the hype about the Obama inauguration it seems safe to say not everyone is perfectly thrilled with the choice the 22 percent has made. Lets see.
Within the story of the last century we see the rise not only of the great Liberal Darwin Freud conflict over the question of human nature and human freedom, but we see towering above the masses the crags and peaks of peculiar individuals, our human ancestors and comrades, called leaders, that seemed to stand out against the background, as the catalysts of change. What then constitutes the cellular and molecular makeup of these rare character ... Tags:Winston Churchill, Churchill books
Is Obama A Citizen Of The United States Of America? By: Angêl | - I feel that Barack Obama, wanna-be-President, should be declared ineligible to hold the office of the United States of America. I also think that Justice Anthony McLeod Kennedy should be impeached on account of his apparent illiteracy, or inability to understand the Constitution of the United States of America. If this does not happen, I predict that some crazy, John Wilkes Booth wanna-be, will kill him within the first year of his criminal Presidency.

Ron Pollack: Fund Manager, Family Man, Friend By: Emory Chapman | - Seeing this man walk down your street, you would not be able to guess that he had set up one of the biggest hedge funds in the country, peaking at over one billion USD. While in a Florida office, wearing naught but shorts and a t-shirt, Ron Pollack discussed his success as a hedge fund seller and manager, the members of his family, the charities he's worked with and why he is returning to managing funds after six years. He said that short selling was what he needed to do.
If Obama Wins The Stock Market Will Probably Go Up By: Marvin J Markus | - If the Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama, wins the Presidential election on November 4th, I'll be investing in the stock market on November 5th.
Why? Because Democrats haven proven time and time again to be much better at leading the economy than Republicans have. The Democrats approach the economy from the perspective that every American deserves to prosper, while the Republicans approach it with the idea that the rich need to get richer and that somehow some of thos ...

A Sort Experience Needed To Be A Good President By: bobby james | - Is there any specific experience that can best prepare an individual to be the President of the United States? Service in the military? Running a business? Governing a state? Or will the much maligned legislative experience suffice? How much of the right sort of experience is enough? Consider the resumes of two of our best presidents.

John Edwards Should Be President By: The Buffalo | - Populism. John Edwards' campaign is considered by many to have populist themes; lifting up the working class, fighting for the middle class, healthcare for everyone and eliminating poverty. These are concepts that we should embrace. We should help those who can't help themselves. John Edwards tells every American that he will fight for them.
After the Katrina disaster many polls indicated that large majorities of blacks believed that the federal response to Hurricane Katrina would have been considerably speedier had those trapped in New Orleans been rich and white, and that the slow response was an indication of continuing racial inequity in this country.
When reading Charles Krauthammer, I am reminded that Henry Ford said "the hardest thing to do in the world is to think, and that is why people do so little of it." This is especially true during Presidential elections which start about a year too early and end about a year too late.
It is often hard for me to decide which is wearier, the droppings of a contentious person or a Presidential election.
The Christ, Ratu Adil & Satria Piningit--revealed?!

According to Creme, Maitreya, the Christ descended from his retreat in the Himalayas in July 1977 and took residence in the British Isle, and that he has already met privately with journalists and influential leaders from all fields of human endeavor.

The Unbearable Stupidity Of Al Gore By: Stew Mayers | - There are many descriptions which aptly fit Al Gore the 35 year political veteran. Appellations such as dumb, deceitful, ignorant, demagogic, hypocrite, or mad would be appropriate. Gore has raised money illegally, lied incessantly on various topics, paid his own firm to trade credit-emissions' to offset his carbon footprint' and uttered phrases so mind-numbingly dumb that even G.W. Bush's inconsistent grasp of English and logic looks Churchillian by comparison.
What It Takes To Be A Winner By: Doug Ragan | - "If you continue to do what you've always done, you will continue to get what you've always got!" Yogi Berra
It is easy to be a loser. All you have to do after you failed at something is to continue the patterns and thoughts that created your personal conditions of failure and lack of achievement.
