Call for Information

Now, I know that I will be considered too liberal and, to be quite honest, I don't care, but I would like to be informed when I speak or write. So to this end I would love to hear from people who consider themselves conservative and would like to enlighten me on the virtues of the Republican party. So, to all of those with opposing views, please send me articles, links or whatever other material you deem informative and truthful. The only requirement that I have for these counter point articles or links is that they only contain facts. I do not want statistics that were gathered by groups that might have an agenda based on religious beliefs or financial ties to any particular industry: For example, I wouldn't want any stats from the "God Hates Fags" people or the Intelligent Design people. Now for those who lean more towards my opinions, I would appreciate the same as long as your sources meet the same requirements mentioned above.

Commonsense and Complacency

A path that, given our recent history (Say the past 25-30 years), we will most likely continue to travel to our own destruction. Dramatic as this may sound, what evidence is there to the contrary?

And after all, society is what matters to humans most, because it is a civil society that the majority of us seek: One in which we can live our lives the way that pleases us the most, and why shou

Health Care Reform

Now that the Health Care Reform Bill has been passed, I couldn't help but notice how many Republicans have been screaming for its repeal. This, to me, is a sign that Obama is onto something that might actually benefit the people of the United States. I would actually be more concerned if the GOP agreed with this plan, because during the Bush administration, I got the sinking feeling that the government didn't necessarily have my best interests at heart. Between the war in Iraq; the response to hurricane Katrina and the shambles in which GW left the economy, I can't understand how anyone could believe otherwise. Of course, those proponents of Bush will claim that, no single man or administration could be to blame for the economy all while blaming Obama and the current administration for the failed banking system and the injustices committed on wall street. What is also odd to me, is that many of the changes presented in the HCR bill were originally presented by Republic
