What a week. Joe Biden gives a gaffe, which threatens to derail the schedule of the Obama campaign’s agenda. Yes, I know … what else is new? I mean, really — how on Earth has this guy kept his office for so long? With all the crazy blunder’s he’s made — even before the ’08 election — what the heck were they thinking?
You know, I get such a kick out of all the pundits — and fellow college students! — who swear with a straight face that Joe Biden is actually “very smart.” See … unlike Sarah Palin and

The Dream Team
by Eric M. Blake January 30th, 2012 | 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

The Myth of the Ron Paul “Revolution”
by Eric M. Blake January 2nd, 2012 | Conservative Considerations, Presidential Election, Republican Reflections
A quote the Ron Paul Revolutionaries often smugly drop is a line by the great reformer, Gandhi. It goes, “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
It would’ve been nice, were they to apply that slogan to, say, Herman Cain or Michele Bachmann: the Establishment—in the media and the government—has dismissed both as “unelectable”, mocking them as “stupid”, and despising them as “extremists”, or “racists”.
No such luck. See, it’s not Gandhi’s general principle the Revolutionaries are interested in, so much as a way of making themselves feel better about Ron Paul’s

Let’s Get This Party Started
by Jason Lightner October 21st, 2011 | Independent Ideas
Good day to you and yours, fine reader! Today, I'd like to take a break from the tales of police brutality, government corruption, corporate and financial greed, and imperialistic foreign policy I enjoy shedding so much light upon and, instead, discuss with you something you might be familiar with. Today, my friend, we will be discussing civic duty and how it relates to you. I'll begin by telling you my own, personal story.
Back in 2008 I voted for Barack Obama in the Presidential election. I am, by no means, a Democrat. However, I was taken in by his promises
