  • The New Math: When 1% is Greater Than 99% (5/1/12)
    Capitalism and democracy are an integral part of the American dream. They both play a considerable role in the lives of every US citizen, whether the individual has direct knowledge and understanding of the two principles, or whether the citizen goes about their daily activities with little to no regard of the immense impact these forces have on what they are able to do or say. What happens when these two fundamental American principles begin to deteriorate due to the corruption and desecration of one or another of them? The answer to this question seems to be unfolding directly before the eyes of the American people.
  • When Did Compromise and Common Sense Become Dirty Words ? (4/1/12)
    Have compromise and common sense taken a backseat to ideology in Washington?The United States has long been centered around a set of core principles. For better or for worse, these principles and values have served as a basis for many important decisions made by Washington politicians over many decades.
  • Are Women's Rights a Matter of Religious or Governmental Authority? (3/19/12)
    Women's rights have been at the forefront of US politics as of late due to a controversial policy in President Obama's signature piece of legislation, the Affordable Care Act. The controversy first exploded due to the Catholic Church's opposition to the policy in which, under section 2713 of the Affordable Care Act, employers would be required to cover the cost of contraceptives along with other preventative care methods for women. The Catholic Church sites religious freedom violations due to their long standing opposition of contraceptive use because of dogmatic principle.
  • Why Super PACs Are A Threat To A Free Society (3/5/12)
    The 2010 ruling by the U.S.Supreme Court in relation to the Citizen’s United vs. Federal Election Commission was reached primarily on the grounds of an argument stating that it was against the first amendment to stifle political speech in a democracy. This ruling, in favor of the Citizen’s United organization, overturned an earlier Supreme Court ruling (Austin vs. Michigan Chamber of Commerce, 1990) which stated that it was unfair for corporations to fund campaigns against political candidates. PACs, or political action committees, are bodies that gain funding to do just that. Super PACs are privately funded organizations (usually by corporations, or other elements of the ‘super rich’) that campaign to either support or oppose political parties or candidates.
