Declaration of Independence (Adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776) The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the [...]
Ban the Gerrymander
Ban the Gerrymander ================================= Should voters choose their politicians? Or should politicians choose their voters? Tennessee Representative bills, the Fairness and Independence in Redistricting Act and the Transparency in Redistricting Act. They’re a unique chance for America to break a decade-long slide toward permanent “gerrymanders,” artificially intensified partisanship and legislative gridlock. For the next decade, [...]
THE FEMINIST FROM PLAYBOY: JULIETTE FRETTE: MISS JUNE 2008

Our Rights Come From the Creator not From the Government
In nihilistic political societies like Hitler’s Germany or any Communist country it is very easy for the country to erode someone’s political rights. In our country, according to the document that created the legal foundation for the existence of our nation, the Declaration of Independence, it said the rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit [...]

Linda Lingle is the type of [...]
As of today, obtaining a job at Hooters deserves more kudos and respect than receiving the Nobel Peace Price
First he won’t meet with a former Nobel Prize winner (the Dalai Lama), and then he gets one?!?!?
