During the 2008 elections, and all throughout Obama's presidency, his opponents have been throwing all kinds of descriptive terms at him, hoping some would stick. He is either a Muslim, or a follower of a misleading racist Christian preacher. But the one that keeps coming back is the S word. Obama is a socialist. He will make America socialist. There is no turning back and we will lose all of our freedoms to socialism.
But three years into his presidency, I think it is fair enough to come to the conclusion that while Obama may be a lot of things,
The Dream Team

Conservative Considerations, Presidential Election, Republican Reflections
This week is the week of the Florida primary—the primary for my state. Naturally, since that’s my state, my readers are going to want to know who I endorse for President.
I’ll do more than that, here. I’m not just going to endorse a ticket. I will lay out who I want in an ideal administration—and give my reasons why. So, without further ado…
The ticket: Of the Final Four, my favorite, as you probably know, is Rick Santorum. Still, the practical guy in me understands the argument that Mitt and Newt have more momentum. Of those two, I’d pick Mitt

SOPA/PIPA Shelved – More to Come…
by Jason Lightner January 27th, 2012 Independent Ideas
So the Internet censorship bills SOPA and PIPA, which we discussed last week have been shelved indefinitely by Congress. This is excellent news, after the Internet (yes, the collective) came together in opposition of the bills which sought to limit the freedom of the open Internet with laws that gave the power to effectively blacklist websites to the Government and media companies –- all without going through the legal system, I might add.
Unfortunately for fans of freedom in its various forms, we've got more trouble to contend with. Namely, the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA)

South Carolina Speaks
by Ronald A. Rowe January 25th, 2012 Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
Wow. South Carolina surprised me. I was forced to go back and rethink my observations from earlier in the week. Read on to see what went up and what came down this week in the world of politics.
WINNERS:
Newt Gingrich
A stellar performance at the debate and a big win in South Carolina has Newt Gingrich back on top of the Republican field. The Republican nomination may not be as wrapped up as it appeared. Although Gingrich's baggage would most likely spell disaster in a general election, it would be something special to see him debate President Obama.
Rick Santorum

Expectations for President Obama and Congress
by T Akery January 24th, 2012 Congress, Political Opinions, Presidential News
With the Presidential elections coming up in November and the political environment in campaign mode, there are still major expectations on the President and Congress to get at least a few things done before the end of the year. There are a couple of things on the list that President Obama and Congress must and should do before they ditch their jobs in favor of the campaign trail. As much fun as fundraising and campaigning can be, there is still a job to do in Washington and so far it hasn't been done.
So, the number one expectation on this
