During the 2008 elections, and all throughout Obama's presidency, his opponents have been throwing all kinds of descriptive terms at him, hoping some would stick. He is either a Muslim, or a follower of a misleading racist Christian preacher. But the one that keeps coming back is the S word. Obama is a socialist. He will make America socialist. There is no turning back and we will lose all of our freedoms to socialism.
But three years into his presidency, I think it is fair enough to come to the conclusion that while Obama may be a lot of things,
South Carolina Speaks
by Ronald A. Rowe January 25th, 2012 | Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
Wow. South Carolina surprised me. I was forced to go back and rethink my observations from earlier in the week. Read on to see what went up and what came down this week in the world of politics.
WINNERS:
Newt Gingrich
A stellar performance at the debate and a big win in South Carolina has Newt Gingrich back on top of the Republican field. The Republican nomination may not be as wrapped up as it appeared. Although Gingrich's baggage would most likely spell disaster in a general election, it would be something special to see him debate President Obama.
Rick Santorum

Expectations for President Obama and Congress
by T Akery January 24th, 2012 | Congress, Political Opinions, Presidential News
With the Presidential elections coming up in November and the political environment in campaign mode, there are still major expectations on the President and Congress to get at least a few things done before the end of the year. There are a couple of things on the list that President Obama and Congress must and should do before they ditch their jobs in favor of the campaign trail. As much fun as fundraising and campaigning can be, there is still a job to do in Washington and so far it hasn't been done.
So, the number one expectation on this

They’re Coming for Your Bits
by Jason Lightner January 20th, 2012 | Independent Ideas
We've talked about the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) previously, but I'd like to take a moment in this calm election climate to talk a bit more about these bills.
These bills (SOPA being the House version and PIPA being the Senate version) were introduced as a way for the entertainment industry and the Government to "combat online piracy". What this really means is that it's a way for the Government to censor websites they feel threaten the status quo, and it's a way for the entertainment industry and big corporations

More Winners than Losers
by Ronald A. Rowe January 18th, 2012 | Presidential Election, Winners & Losers, World Politics
Our panel of experts was feeling pretty chipper this week. We've got more Winners than Losers on the list. Read on to see who's riding high and who fell out of the saddle this week.
WINNERS:
Tim Tebow
Sure, he and his Denver Broncos lost the AFC Divisional playoff game to a vastly superior New England Patriots team. And yes, he's being mocked by the likes of Bill Maher and his bigoted, anti-Christian ilk. But Tim Tebow is obscenely popular across the Fruited Plain for a first year starting quarterback. His name has become a verb. Aspiring athletes everywhere are Tebowing
