News Corp. disclosed recently that they donated $1 million to the Republican Governor’s Association, an amount far exceeding donation limits for federal level campaigns, and this simple act of partisan bias belies a basic fact that is laid more bare by the day: Rupert Murdoch’s operations are anything but unbiased. As the parent company of [...]

The following is a letter that was sent to the church of which I was once considered a member. To Whom It May Concern, My name is Kyle Brady, and I’m writing to you for a very specific purpose: to be stricken from any and all registries, local and otherwise, that shows me as a [...]

While the so-called “9/11 mosque”, which is actually instead an Islamic community center, has merits on both sides of the conversation regarding its existence, the conversation should not even be occurring, let alone at the level or with the furor that it currently holds. The simple answer to the situation is Freedom of Religion, via [...]

Sarah Palin may be an unemployed, Facebook abusing, gaffe-prone idiot, but it seems as if she has, by accident and without knowing, stumbled across something she has a valid position on: the mosque proposal in New York City, close to Ground Zero .

While not strictly a generation, those citizens currently over the age of forty constitute a group of people that have caused possibly insurmountable problems, massive debts, and extreme hardship, both now and in the years to come, for those younger than them – this is the Failed Generation.

Ridiculous court decisions financed by large corporations and industries seem to not only be increasing in number, but also be ever-more transparent in their intent – the recent block of President Obama’s moratorium on deep-water drilling by a Federal Court is no exception.

The public’s response to the BP oil spill and its handling, most especially from Republicans, has been puzzling, at best: a cry for government intervention and aid from the very people who find such behaviors abhorrent, making President Obama out to be somehow responsible for the deregulatory activity of the last three decades , and [...]

Korea may, once again, erupt into war that will disrupt the entire Asian arena, causing the deaths of millions and creating international diplomatic problems. All of this, unsurprisingly, is rooted in the instability and general insanity of North Korea’s belligerent dictator, Kim Jong Il, who subjugates his nation’s people for reasons of personal luxury, enlarged [...]

Israel is increasingly becoming problematic for not just the United States, since Israel is both an ally and a recipient of aid, but for those in the Middle East who are not actively seeking the destruction of the Jewish state. First was the subjugation of the Palestinians, followed by the invasion of the Gaza strip [...]
