  • Gingrich Is Only A Reagan Fan Now That It's Convenient

    John Martin
    23 Jan 2012 | 9:01 pm
    Gingrich can praise Ronald Reagan all he wants today, but he was not nearly as complimentary while the Gipper was with us. Some of the things Gingrich said about Reagan back in the 80's and 90's would probably end a Republican's career if uttered in 2012.In 1982, Gingrich criticized Reagan for going soft on taxes: “The fact is, on this particular bill, the president is trying to score a touchdown for liberalism, for the liberal welfare state, for big government, for the Internal Revenue Service, for multinational corporations, and for the various forces that…

  • If You Think Romney Has Done Nothing Wrong, You're Missing The Point.

    John Martin
    19 Jan 2012 | 5:08 am
    Mitt Romney has done nothing wrong. It's not his fault our tax system favors the ultra wealthy. We shouldn't blame him because only 15% of his income goes to the IRS. Likewise, it's not Romney's fault he has millions tucked away in the Cayman Islands. Mitt has done what any red-blooded American capitalist would have done under similar circumstances. If Mitt Romney were just a regular rich guy, nobody would take any of this out on him personally. You're supposed to be able to get rich in America (or, in Romney's case, remain rich). That's the main reason people…

  • Gingrich, Perry, and now Santorum: Socialists

    Newt Gingrich's 28 minute attack on Bain Capital has helped draw attention to the nastier parts of of Romney's career as a corporate raider, but it has drawn Newt the ire of Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the conservative establishment. Now Romney is seen as the hero defender of the free market and Newt is a non-freedom-loving socialist, no better than the President.Same goes for Rick Perry. He may have finally cooled his own Bain attacks, but he pissed off a lot of conservatives in the process. These attacks come right out of the liberal left's playbook, they say, and have no…

  • Huntsman's Turn to Get Noticed

    Today is the New Hampshire primary. By all estimations, Romney will run away with a victory, but I'm hoping most of the discussion later tonight will be about the second place finisher-- Jon Huntsman. He's the only candidate who hasn't yet gotten a shot with Republican voters, and he's still the only candidate to offer a real alternative to Romney.Paul and Santorum will plod along for a while longer, since both will be able to keep raising money (Paul especially), and both have their pet issues and motivations. Neither of these candidates, however, will ever be able to get…

    For decades, the cornerstone of fulfilling the American dream has been getting a good education. But that cornerstone has crumbled for millions of America's children. Thirty-five percent of Black and 29 percent of Hispanic high school students attend the more than 1,600 "dropout factories" across our country. For these students, the cost of tuition might be just one more thing on top of poor preparation that makes college seem like another impossible barrier separating them from the rapidly disappearing American dream.

Ever opposed to nepotism, I disliked the prospect of our first female head of state achieving the position through marriage to a previous president, a cheap shortcut I considered anti-feminist.

A rebellion in the House of Lords led by independent Church of England bishops and former Lib Dem leader Paddy Ashdown was successful (for now at least) in disrupting a government cap of £26,000 for benefit claimaints. The bill will get another push in the Commons, and the government - which has the weight of public opinion on its side - show signs of relishing the battle.

    Suggestions For Obama

  • Keeping jobs in the US

    Pi
    25 Jan 2012 | 10:32 pm
    Consider this example: a company has a patent in the US; it produces the invention covered by the patent abroad, and imports the invention. With the US patent, this company can prevent any other company from producing the invention in the US. There is something wrong with that! I think Congress needs to change how compensations for patent infringement are calculated. The compensations must be based on how much money an entity based in the US is loosing because of the infringement. If there is no entity based in the US that produces the invention, there is no compensation, even if the patent…

If some required a healthy kidney or a blood transfusion etc.. They will not only save lives it will reduce medical cost nationally. This act will allow a national donor registry from our over crowded prisons. I strongly believe that prisoners will have a higher incentive to donate for two reasons. 1. Term reduction 2. Some will want to do it out of remorse and good will for the wrong that they have done to society. This will help our…
