As the legal voting age in America is eighteen, many adolescents and young adults become politically active following that birthday. Maybe you take up a cause, support a candidate, or simply vote.
To glimpse into one such perspective from that age bracket, check out this video of a college student and his thoughts on politics.

The Nobel Prize
by Ronald A. Rowe October 13th, 2009 | General Politics, Political Humor, Political Opinions
Camp Campaign has procured an exclusive transcript of the deliberations between Hans Dorfenshalter and Heinrich Waldendoof, two members of the Nobel Prize selection committee. This conversation, secretly recorded and painstakingly transcribed, details some of the heretofore unknown thought process that goes into selecting an individual for the prestigious Nobel Prize.
HANS: Heinrich, are you enjoying the illegal drugs and prostitutes that were provided for us?
HEINRICH: Oh, yes, Hans. I am.
HANS: I was thinking, our all-expense paid week in the hotel is almost up, so maybe we'd better pick a winner for the Peace Prize.
HEINRICH: Oh, yeah. I

The VRWC is BACK
by Ronald A. Rowe September 30th, 2009 | General Politics, Political Opinions, Republican Reflections
Continuing our unintended series of "Why Ex-Presidents Should Just Shut Up", Bill Clinton has thrust himself back into the news this week by insisting that the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" is back in action. For those with short memories or young lives, the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (let's call it the VRWC for short) is a non-existent organized attack on Bill Clinton that then-first lady Hillary Clinton made up as an excuse for the negative publicity her husband received for seducing and carrying on an affair with a 22 year old girl and then lying about it on live TV.

If Jimmy Carter Says So
by Ronald A. Rowe September 23rd, 2009 | General Politics, Political Humor, Political Opinions
According to the standard set by our beloved 39th president, I guess I'm a racist. Funny, I never thought of myself as such. But I disagree with our current president's socialist agenda, so Jimmy Carter has labeled me a racist. According to the worst president of the last seven or eight decades, anyone who opposes President Obama does so strictly because of the color of his skin.
Thought you were opposed to a health care plan that will cost trillions? WRONG! You're just a racist. Thought you were against activist judges on the Supreme Court? THINK AGAIN! You just can't stand

The Ex Green Czar
by Ronald A. Rowe September 10th, 2009 | General Politics, Political Opinions, Presidential News
Van Jones is now officially the "Ex-Green Czar" of the United States of America. Jones resigned today in what may be the snippiest and most ungracious resignation speech ever given.
The White House says that Jones was going to "get in the way" of Benevolent Ruler Obama's plans. Jones says that he was the target of a "vicious smear campaign". So, why did ol' Van get the ax?
The short answer is: the Internet.
The somewhat longer answer is that Jones has a long history of doing the sort of things that most American's don't much like, and somebody uncovered
