The Health Care Reform act is before the Supreme Court as they decide if the requirement that every American citizen have health insurance is constitutional or goes beyond federal powers. Every news network is portraying this case as one of the most significant ones before the court in years. The supreme court deals with a lot of important cases, but this one act has already started to change the way we view health care, and if this act is thrown out, the question remains – can we change anything?
Health care reform matters -- because I cannot think of anyone
And Now…a Special Comment
by Eric M. Blake April 9th, 2012 | Conservative Considerations, General Politics, Political Humor
Amidst the persecution Conservatives so often suffer at the hands of the media, it is all too rare for a prominent Leftist media figure to suffer the fate their side would so eagerly wish to bestow upon us. The likes of Al Sharpton, Bill Maher, etc.—they self-righteously get away with things no Conservative would. If you doubt me, observe the Duke Lacrosse incident involving the former — and, of course, the general rampant sexism of the latter.
Thus, I admit it is difficult not to feel a certain satisfaction when such people get theirs, at long last. Herein, I shall

‘Deau vs. ‘Zeau
by Ronald A. Rowe April 4th, 2012 | Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
This week's edition features a healthy bit of what-if-ing along with the standard lists of Winners and Losers:
WINNERS:
'deau vs. 'zeau
Two Canadian politicians have decided to settle things the old-fashioned way -- with a winner-takes-all boxing match. In the Left corner (ideologically speaking), weighing in at 6'2" and 175 pounds, is Liberal MP Justin Trudeau. In the Right corner, weighing in at 5'10" and 183 pounds, is Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau. The younger Brazeau was favored to win, but the lanky Trudeau won the match.
Can you imagine if we backwards hillbillies in the USA could catch up to our

Your Vote Counts
by T Akery April 3rd, 2012 | Political Facts, Presidential Election
Your vote counts. Don't let anyone tell you that it doesn't. It isn't true. Our whole government system is based on the right to vote. That was a reason that the 15th and subsequently 19th Amendments were added to the U.S. Constitution. There was a lot of effort to give everyone this basic fundamental right. If history alone isn't enough to convince you, then perhaps this will.
Your vote is your voice. It is really that simple. If you don't vote, you don't have a voice. Remember, it doesn't count if you don't cast it.
See, there is this misconception that

April Showers…
by Eric M. Blake April 2nd, 2012 | Conservative Considerations, General Politics, Presidential Election
While there are times where I find myself “tacking on” my thoughts on something to my articles, as a rule, I always have a specific main subject — one main point to bring to the table. This week, however, I feel the need to bring more than one, in the tradition of Ronald Rowe’s excellent “Winners & Losers” column. Of course, I’m not one to plagiarize — and besides, for one of these subjects, the winner and the loser will be unknown until June. So — without further ado…
We’re Number One!
Sounds good, I know…but of course, there’s a catch.
