Wow. Three Santorum articles in a row, and we were even graced with a cameo appearance from our resident propagandist, Eric M. Blake in the comments during the last one. Unfortunately, the ever-so-necessary debate on religion's role in government will have to take the backseat this week, as we have more important topics to discuss. No, those topics don't include racist Ron Paul. They do, however, have a lot to do with a topic the the Doctor has a certain penchant for discussing – privacy and liberty.
You see, a Maryland court recently ruled that the
Party Line Winners and Losers
by Ronald A. Rowe March 14th, 2012 | Political Opinions, Presidential Election, Winners & Losers
The Winners and Losers are divided along party lines this time around. Sure, there were a few individual ups and downs. Republican Chris Christie seemed to be having a good time this week just being himself. But in the final analysis the Donkeys definitely came out better than the Elephants this week.
WINNERS:
The Democratic Party
What a coincidence - a pro-Obama movie and an anti-Palin (and by extension, anti-Republican) movie both coming out in an election year. What good fortune for President Obama and the Democratic Party that Hollywood is coming to the rescue before there's even a Republican nominee.
I think

Is a Long Republican Primary an Advantage or a Disadvantage?
by Jessica B. March 13th, 2012 | Presidential Election
For a long time Republicans have been flexing their muscles around Obama’s approval rating, saying that the low numbers all but hand them the next presidential election; but here it is March of the election year and there is still no strong leader. There isn’t even a strong second place finisher, because there are way too many candidates jockeying for first place. In the last election, Obama and Clinton went head to head until June. And Obama came out the victor. Will this long primary help or hurt the Republicans this November?

The Breitbart Obama Arpaio Paul Conspiracy
by Ronald A. Rowe March 7th, 2012 | Independent Views, Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
Andrew Breitbart passed away this week at the too-young age of 43. Although I wasn't always the biggest fan of his uber-confrontational style, he was a young guy and his children are now fatherless. The venomous comments flying through the blogosphere are just so cruel and tasteless that it actually makes me sad.
In the silver lining department, Breitbart's death has generated the latest, greatest round of conspiracy theories, which I do so enjoy. So let's follow this one through. Bear with me as we walk through this theory from the beginning.
The theory goes: President Obama was born in Kenya.

War with Iran?
by T Akery March 6th, 2012 | World Politics
With all of the news about birth control lately, a story of mounting concern has been overlooked. Well, maybe not a story, but a country that has been handing the US and other countries plenty of headaches: Iran. Is it possible that the U.S. would enter another war after Iraq and Afghanistan? The answer is scary. War with Iran may happen. Even though President Bush was criticized many times for fighting on two fronts, there is a very real possibility that President Obama will soon be in that exact same situation. This is despite the fact that President Obama
