An Arabic proverb best states one reason: My brother and me against my cousin. My cousin and me against the stranger. We're the stranger. As soon as we leave, they'll be fighting each other.

The lawyer thing made me think. All Gonzalez had to do was say, "Yeah, they were fired for political reasons. They serve at the pleasure of the president. So what?" Instead, he put up a weak defense, which made it look like he was complicit in shady dealings. The whole thing has given the repu...

The U.S. House is set to vote on H.R. 984, which would effectively keep AFA and every other pro-family organization in America from providing you information on bills in Congress.

As you may have noticed, I don't really join in on much of the political talk on here. While it's true that right now I'd rather be informed on Dynamics, Thermodynamics, and my other engineering classes, I like to know my opinions in politics as well.

Iran just took 15 British sailors hostage. Then gave them back as "a gift". Have you ever known friends or children to do this to you? It's a bit like the guy who cuts off his neighbor's hand, and then as a gift, drives him to the hospital. Or like when your kids get you breakfast in bed... which...
