Jim Webb exemplifies what’s best in American politics. I’m a Republican myself, and I only wish that the GOP could come up with candidates who are combat veterans like Jim who have the intellect, integrity, and leadership capability to offer this nation public servants who have earned our respect. I especially like the way he [...]

This is the worst sort of BS being peddled by Larry Johnson for weeks now. He’s even been offering $1 million for it via some rich Republican, or so he says. I don’t believe it. If it existed it would have been put on YouTube already. They just made it up to get more people [...]

I’m afraid the burden of proof is with you as you’re the one claiming there are aliens on the moon, not me. The lack of pictures does not constitute evidence, rather, the lack of evidence doesn’t support your theory. As to this wager, sure, i’m game. Just give me all of your personal information and [...]

1. Rev. Wright, whether or not he was making well reasoned arguments (and he doesn’t appear to have done that), appeared to use his relationship with a Presidential candidate to gain attention on the national stage. Whether or not he was using his relationship with Obama is beside the point, he appeared to be using [...]

A more subtle change was the distribution of delegates within each state. As part of the proportional system, Democrats award delegates based on statewide vote totals as well as results in individual congressional districts. The delegates, however, are not distributed evenly within a state, like they are in the Republican system. Under Democratic rules, congressional [...]

I believe the system has racist bearings to it particularly when it’s fueled with disdain for people of color and poor people. The majority of cops don’t understand the culture of culprits they are trying to catch, most DAs stretch the law to get better conviction rates, most judges are former prosecutors and so on [...]
