Obama is not Hitler

Obama is not Hitler

The imagery is clear. As Obama speaks out to a large and overwhelming crowd he evokes thoughts of power, grandeur and vision. The President of the United States of America is beginning to speak; it is eloquent as he is defending his policies with rational thought striving to bridge the gap between the two political [...]

Realism and the US Hegemony

Realism and the US Hegemony

United States hegemony is unwavering. A Realist perspective about the current balance of power would tend to agree that the United States is the leading State actor in the anarchic system of International Politics.  For the United States to maintain it’s dominance it must maintain a strong national will, a large and technological superior army [...]

Will Sarkozy’s Rhetoric Damage European Integration Efforts?

Will Sarkozy’s Rhetoric Damage European Integration Efforts?

In a move to shore up far-right voters, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has resorted to nationalistic rhetoric aimed at reducing immigration, strengthening border security and protecting European goods. During recent campaign stops in Paris he has threatened to suspend French participation within the Schengen Area, has called for a European styled “Buy American Act,” and [...]

Is the United States an Oligarchy?

Is the United States an Oligarchy?

The greatest characteristic of humanity rests in our ability to collectively evolve by understanding our shared history.  If a physicist did not have the knowledge of Gaillelo before them, then they would be equally perplexed with the questions he faced.

The Body of bin Laden

The Body of bin Laden

I was sitting in my 10th grade Chemistry class on September 11th of 2001. I remember my teacher, Mr. Sufka telling us what had happened.

On December 17, 2010 in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia, a 26 year old street vendor named Mohamed Bouazizi lit himself on fire.

Is this how Cheeseheads act?

Is this how Cheeseheads act?

The collective, society, power as a group. These are concepts that are used to demonize the left. Collective bargaining is bad, whether it is a union or average people looking to negotiate the prices of prescription drugs. In the US it is the individual who is lauded, Microsoft would be nothing without Bill Gates, the [...]

Flames in the Tinderbox

Flames in the Tinderbox

Korea has been a troubled peninsula for the last century. The Japanese ruled Korea from 1910 until 1945, they implemented labor camps, stripped the land of its wealth and attempted to erase Korean language, culture, art and history. In 1945 Korea was taken over by the Soviets and the Americans with an agreement for the [...]

Remember When?

Remember When?

It is amazing how quickly (or so it seems) that things can change. One decade we have growth, jobs, relative peace and people seemed to get along. One decade later we have economic collapse of numerous corporations and countries, possible war between the two Koreas, a debt crisis in Washington bogged down by partisanship and [...]
