The 2012 election is coming soon. The campaign has already begun. Barack Obama has an advantage as the Main Stream Media clearly wants him to win and will try its best to portray him in a positive light. The republican nominee needs to find a way to combat this. Whoever the republican nominee is, he or she will not win by trying win over the Main Stream Media. The republican candidate must find a way to take the message directly to the people.

There is no question that radical community activist and writer Saul Alinsky has had a profound effect on many people on the left and in their political strategies. Who was Saul Alinsky and how much can his organizing techniques be seen in the policies of the current president Barack Obama?

Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg recently walked off their own show and Juan Williams lost his job at NPR, all because of perceived intolerance to Muslims. In the meantime, in the UK, in order to mollify Muslim sensitivities, they are considering to stop teaching the Holocaust to students. Exactly who is being intolerant here?

I recently saw a movie called "The Invention of Lying" with Ricky Gervais. The movie took place in a mythical society where there was no concept of lying. I wondered what a speech by Barack Obama would look like if he had lived in this mythical society and had to tell the truth as he saw it. The speech might go something like this...

There are many tenets supposedly held dear by liberals and the left. We associate the left with feminism, gay rights, anti militarism, racial equality, union rights and some other things that "speak to the people".

With a cultural center/mosque being proposed at the World Trade Center, it's time to ask some real questions about the Islamic religion. What has it evolved into and is it truly a religion of peace?

What if Barack Obama had lived in the 17th Century? What kind of leader would he have been at that time? As it turns out, there is a distant ancestor of Obama's that has been traced to 17th Century England...

The Main Stream Media went out of its way in the last election to make sure that Barack Obama got elected. The MSM in the US has always had a left wing bias but over the last decade, it has become guilty of informational "malpractice". It is because of this "malpractice", that new, alternative forms of media have prospered, as people actively seek different sources of information.

There seems to be an unwritten rule that political independents and moderates are more reasonable than people on the far left or the far right. Is this true or are moderates actually more extreme than either the far left OR the far right? Is it logical or moral to always look for compromise in every single situation or controversy?

Does Barack Obama believe that African Americans should have advantages and certain priviledges as a result of past injustices? In Obama's justice department is there one standard for whites and another one for blacks?
