- Are Electronic Cigarettes The Next Prohibition?
By: Sabina King | - A proposed FDA ban would indicate
Electronic cigarettes have been a prominent debate in the news media and several online forums. The controversy stems from FDA reports that claim that electronic cigarettes are dangerous to the American public and should, therefore, be banned.
An electronic cigarette or "e-cigarette" is "a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized liquid nicotine solution. It is an alternative to smoked tobacco prod ...

- Can Ron Paul Cure America's Apathy?
By: Rahul Awasthi | - Most citizens in the United States of America do not vote. Many never registered to vote, many others are registered but simply dont vote. In the last federal election, fifty nine percent of the registered voters in this country showed up to vote. Of approximately two hundred and seven million registered voters in this country, only one hundred and twenty two million felt that it was important enough to take some time out of their day to vote for the president of the United States. Of th ...

- Is Libertarianism Nothing More Than The Glorification Of Greed And Irresponsibility?
By: JOHN HARDY | - The faith in the sanctity of the market is the bedrock of the Libertarian creed. It is not so much a philosophy as a religion- only in place of a benevolent God, we have the omniscient market. The market is seen as a perfect, self regulating mechanism. The implication is that, it is far better to let the market take its natural course, than intervene and cause much greater disharmony in the long run. Supporting their hypothesis with innumerable examples of bungled attempts by governments to medd ...

- Blagojevich, The Media & The Race Card
By: Aafreen | - I dont like to write about politics. That last statement might come as a surprise to some of my regular readers. "Szandor," you might think, "You love to write about politics. You do it all the time." Well, the last part of that statement may be true, but the first part is actually a misconception. I write about politics because I feel I have to. Given the choice Id much rather write a horror novel or some fantasy. Thats what I really consider myself good at. I love to let my imagina ...

- Where Is America?
By: ashish123 | - I wonder how many people in this country of ours can actually answer that question by looking on a map. I know, many of you are saying America is a large country situated on the North American continent between Canada and Mexico with Alaska being a large chunk of land situated north of the rest of the country on the western side of Canada and Hawaii a small chain of islands situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. But thats not all America is. America is far more than just a physical ...

- A Third Party Vote Is Not Wasted
By: sanjay1 | - Recently, I wrote an article explaining my views on why Ron Paul was able to gain so much support from the common man and raise the kind of money he did while Bob Barr was not. I half expected to get some emails from Bob Barr supporters telling me I was wrong, but that never happened. Instead, I got a few messages from Chuck Baldwin supporters who took issue with the one sentence I wrote about him. In the interest of fairness and to further clarify my point of view for some of my readers who may ...

- The Game: The Real Secret Behind The Economic Crisis
By: janev6 | -
Though mind-boggling and intricate, the sequence of events that led to our current economic crisis is simple and tactical.
While the talking heads endlessly discuss the relative culpability of one party or another, make no mistake: beneath the surface such events are driven by an unseen set of dynamics, a kind of parallel reality game.
This game is rarely seen for what it is in fact it thrives on clandestine maneuvers by a collective few. Much to ...

- Austin: A Sparkle Of Liberalism In The Star Of Texas
By: Crystal Kilpatrick | - Located in the heart of conservative Texas sits a veritable jewel of eclectic liberal thought, the state capital, Austin. A fabulous oasis for those free thinkers looking to relocate, go to school, or even just visit, Austin Texas is weird and proud of it!
Austin is an interesting city for a good many reasons. It was the 17th most literate city in the US for 2008 and was deemed America's #1 college town with a total of ten public universities and colleges including the University of ...

- How Can The Government Increase Its Budget?
By: Angêl | - The only answer has, is, and always will be to 'reduce' taxes on the 'rich'. I feel that there is large portion of those who are ignorant of Economics 101 in Washington D.C. and most State governments. However, I think that I understand how they can be trapped into thinking the first sentence is not true. So, I think it is about time that Obama nation actually fulfill his campaign promise of doing something new, and original, instead of employing the same old failed communist political theories ...

- The Cleansing Effects Of Crisis, Part Ii: The Horror Of Aig
By: Adam Lass | - Justice Litle, Editorial Director, Taipan Publishing Group
The AIG fiasco is even bigger and uglier than most realize and Washington is making the problem worse. Are there any hints of a solution on the horizon? Perhaps at least one...
...let us not kid each other: The $162 billion bailout of AIG is a nontransparent, opaque and shady bailout of the AIG counter-parties: Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and other domestic and foreign financial institutions.

- Conscious Political Leadership - The Law Of Attraction Leader
By: Anisa Aven | - The Law of Attraction leader is one that aligns with intentional, conscious living but also understands that change cannot occur without action. Action, on the part of constituents or subordinates, will not occur without respect. Thus, a leader that is aligned with inspiring action must first inspire respect.
Respect is not something that is given solely based on tenure, testimonials, or talking points. Respect is earned when a leader takes the time to know, understand, and incorp ...

- The Great Bailout Stall, Part Vii Taking Responsibility
By: Robert Ringer | - Getting back to the point I made about investors taking responsibility for their investment decisions, there is one other big thing I learned when I tried to play the Wall Street game. The Wall Street Jungle is infested with a vicious carnivore known as Humanosaurus rex --- a ferocious humanoid with a humongous appetite. Humanosaurus rex doesn't eat your lunch; he eats you. And unlike the dinosaurs of old, he doesn't leave bones lying around. He swallows them right along with your flesh.

- Defeating Socialism, Defending Freedom: It's Not The Free Market That Caused The Financial Crisis
By: Nathan Moore | - The Left's uproar over the financial mess is fairly typical. It's the end of libertarianism, American inequality is the problem, and only the super-socialist Barack Obama can fix this mess.
Well, libertarianism isn't dead. It never really lived. As long as Peter can vote to take money from Paul, there will never be a libertarian economy. The most I can hope for is a mostly free-market. What the left-leaning fail to acknowledge (or understand, I am not sure which), is that the fina ...

- Alan Greenspan Isn't A Libertarian, Complacency Isn't Stability, And Debt Isn't Wealth
By: Les Lafave | - A recent New York Times article "Taking a Hard New Look at Alan Greenspan's Legacy" (Peter S. Goodman), did an entertaining job of slamming former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, and for that, I'd gratefully subscribe (if I could afford it).
But there was a pigeon sized fly in the Timesian ointment-- the article calls Greenspan a libertarian with a straight face, and blames the financial crisis, not on Chairman Greenspan's monetary policy lead foot, but on his "faith" in ...

- 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 ...

Capitalists enhance this conflict that may lead to social revolutions because human development is rendered. This is an adoption regarding the views on computers that Karl Marx may have held.
In order to fully innovate and advance developing nations technology, the governments must regulate and work with global corporations to sp ...

- Some Questions To Reveal That Who Should Be The Next Us President
By: bobby james | - Do you think George Bush knows how much a bus pass costs? When was the last time you think Dick Cheney pulled out an envelope full of coupons to save a few bucks at the grocery store? Does he even know what a grocery store is? I do not want to bash the President. But what I want to do is explain why so many of our national politicians aren't ready to tackle the everyday problems the average American faces simply because they have no idea what they are.

- 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.
Consider first Mr. Lincoln. When Lincoln came to office he had served a number of terms in the Illinois state legislature, only one term in the Hous ...

- What Kinds Of Information Is Made Available For General Public?
By: bobby james | - Public agencies collect information and compile records which can be shared openly depending on the nature of the information. With the evolution of the internet, and the migration of information from paper to digital, it is now possible for anyone, anywhere to view information on people and companies within the United States.
Although some information is available, a lot of information is not; because of that people are often worried about exactly what others can find out about t ...

- Witness Libertarianism Present Efficiently And Painlessly
By: bobby james | - The readers of this article have no doubt to notice that one of the main topic is libertarian activism. This is more specifically, helping the people to understand the propaganda arguments they hear all around them in libertarian perspective.
This is very important because first of all, the people who are relatively new about the libertarianism they may be not yet understand completely the propaganda in which they are immersed daily. And second one, a good activism starts with awa ...

- Is A New Year's Resolution To Get Rich A Greedy Goal? It Might Be If You Ignore This...
By: Steve Kroening | - Radio talk show host Neal Boortz, a libertarian who takes great pride in offending as many people as he can (including Christians), has issued a challenge. He insists there is no such thing as greed. And he doesn't think anyone can give him a definition that will change his mind.
I think he's right: I doubt anyone can change his mind. That's because convincing Neal that someone can want money too much is like convincing a Christian that he can want God too much. If money is your g ...

- Homesteading - Live The Life Or Pay The Price
By: Jesse Turner | - I've been told that you can get out of the rat race (become a homesteader) or be a city dweller; the only difference is you'll either be trading your time working to be more self sufficient (self employed, gardening, getting wood in for the winter, etc.) or trade time away from home, at work, to pay for the conveniences and bills (Overtime).
The person who told me this didn't see the difference in the quality of life; to this person, you exist here or you exist there, the price y ...

- Imperfect Presidents
By: Lee Goins | - More important than proving perfection on your parties side, is a willingness to seek out the mistakes and correct them; to improve; to monitor your integrity. In the face of the opposition bashing away and looking for any sign of weakness it is tempting to deny any fault at all, but it is still weak to ignore potential improvement. For a leader to inspire confidence, he must maintain a balance between claimed efficacy and a willingness to examine and adapt when changes will make a real impact; ...

By: Gabriel Adams | - George Washington was the very first President of the United States of America. He was born on February 22, 1732 in a small County called Westmoreland, located in Virginia. Washington, whose father passed away when he was only 11, was home schooled and learned how to become an expert woodsman and mapmaker by himself.
In 1759 Washington married Martha Curtis, a wealthy widow. Although Washington and Curtis never had children of their own, Curtis had two children, Martha and John, f ...

By: Madison Lockwood | - The internet has always been a source of confusion and angst on Capitol Hill. It has also been one of the more glamorous issues among the lawmakers, because the impact it has had on the way Americans communicate, seek entertainment and do business.
As the speed of the internet has grown, as its "bandwidth" has allowed it to carry large amounts of content at high speed, the internet highway has become an enormously lucrative commercial highway. It has also become much like a utilit ...
