Franklin Roosevelt

The political system of the United States is based on democratic principles. America has a government ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’ (A. Lincoln). This means that the American people have a choice in making the laws and the right to decide who will be the leader of their nation.

2007 Trends In Politics And A Look Back At 2004-2005

Every era has its political issues and every election cycle has its main points of contention. So often we observe that the mass media hysteria and the tactics of the various political parties and their political action committee supporters shape the public perception and politics of the day.

2007 Debate on Definition of Modern Liberals

Recently I have gone on record stating that Modern Liberalism is a disease spreading across America and asked the simple question; Can it Be Stopped? Indeed, modern liberalism today is not that of the definition of our Founding Fathers and their sense of what liberalism was. Further the dictionary definition is nothing similar to the direction that this modern liberal mindset is taking our nation.

Can You Always Negotiate A Settlement?

Tab Cards Took A Bum Rap In Florida Election And Still Are The Best Method For Voting

For many years, small businesses and major corporations, during some of the best economic times, used tab card systems to run their businesses. However, all data was considered raw data until verified. Tab card voting systems do not have a verfication cycle. All we need to do today is use the same punch card voting systems that were used for many years and add a verification cycle. Electronic voting machines can not be trusted. A punched hole card system can be trusted much more if the process is verified.

The Third Alternative

The Third Alternative is my way I guess of saying let us ditch the over-zealousness and over-the-edge issues of each party, the outrageous fringe. We need not fight over a center ground with the fringe inciting chaos and controversy in the development of friendships, partnering and responsibility of working for the people and maintaining the efficient flows of our civilization. That is their job and there can be no excuses of our leadership in underperformance of that goal in maintaining our Nation's strength.
