The answer is always Ronald Reagan
While I still have my doubts that Herman Cain actually harassed any women 20 years ago, I have grave doubts now about his ability to be our president. The liberals that infest MMA have had their field day making fun of Herman Cain’s non reply to how he felt about President Obama’s handling of the [...]
The 2012 Presidential Debates vs. Reality
Another Presidential election will soon be upon us. As in the past, this election has more to do with showmanship than reality.

Obama, The First Truly ‘Un-American’ President
Individualism and self-reliance (i.e. standing on one’s own feet) have always been cornerstones of American values, and being American has, up to now, helped instill a sense of that individualism and self-reliance.

Republicans need less religion and more character
As the Occupy wall Street movement gains momentum, I grow more disillusioned with the candidates my Republican party has fielded in the presidential primaries.
