Liberty University has banned the College Democrats. The university Student Affairs Vice President, Mark Hine informed the Brian Diaz, president of the College Democrats, that they could not be recognized by the school. According to Mr. Hine’s email to Mr. Diaz, the university does not support a club “whose parent organization [Democratic Party] stands against the moral principles held by the university.” Mr. Hine also went on further to say, in the email, that the Democratic Party supports abortion, socialism, and the agenda of gay, bisexual and transgender people.
This is pathetic. Students have the right to create a student organization on their campus. The school administration should not engage in the national politics. Students create clubs because they want to have a voice in their university. It is sad that the school administration doesn’t know how to differentiate church and state. Their action clearly states that students have to be Republicans in order to be considered Christians.
Face it, there are many Christians who support the Democratic Party. Why can’t the university let the College Democrats exist?
President Bush visited Iraq unannounced this morning. While he and the Iraqi prime minister were holding a news conference, an Iraqi reporter threw his pair of shoes at President Bush.
The shoes was a size 10. Throwing shoes at someone is considered to be an insult in Muslim cultures according to CNN report.
I have to say that it was a priceless movement. After what Bush had done in Iraq, I think he deserves it. That Iraqi reporter is the man. You have my respect. I just wish that many Americans can that to Bush too. Trust me, everyone is angry at this man.
Many people think U.S is the most democratic nation in the world, I would like to to point out that it is not the case. We can see it through the recent news scandal in Illinois.
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his chief of staff, John Harris are accused of corruption charges. They were arrested and later was released on bonds. According to various news sources, the Department of Justice alleged the Illinois governor attempted to sell the senate seat which was previously held by Barack Obama.
Corruption in the US is nothing new. It’s just people don’t talk about it very often. Plus, it a huge shame that the “most democratic” nation and the world’s superpower would so such a thing. But, face it. It’s true.
If you think Illinois is most corrupted state in the U.S, you are wrong. The most corrupt state in the U.S is North Dakota.
USA Today did an analysis on this topic based on per capital basis. North Dakota population is 639,715. 53 were convicted on corruption. That means, 8 people are convincted on this crime for every 100,000 residents.
It’s very surprising that North Dakota gets this title. I thought it was Louisana. However, it is the second most corrupt state in the country.

I guess, it was a right thing that Paris Hilton was in jail. She finally has the brain to respond to “that white-haired dude.” While many of you think I am crazy, Hilton did an ad in response to John McCain’s “Celebrities” ad. I have to say her ad is awesome. Clearly, it proves to the point that McCain is old. Face it, we don’t want a 70-something year old to lead the country during time of crisis.
I love the ad! By far, it’s Paris’ best performance!
McCain, you’re just too old. Oh, by the way, sir, Czechoslovakia is not a country!
Aside from the fact that he believes that Czechoslovakia is still a country, John McCain is the real flip-flopper in this upcoming election.
Have you noticed how he always changed his position? Instead of me listing them, I am going to let you watch this clip. Hopefully, you will not vote for him in November.
Sen. Obama clinched the nomination for the Democratic Presidential candidate. He will be facing Sen. John McCain (R) in the general election.
It is not a big surprise that he wins since he’s leading in delegates from the beginning. Now that he wins, what is next for the Democrats?
The party has been divided since the rival between Sen. Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton escalated in mid-February. Since then, the tension between the two supporters have risen to the point that the party is now divided. Some Clinton supporters are now backing up McCain because he is more experienced. Some would not vote for Obama at all because of his race. (If you have the time read the comments from this CNN blog and you will know what I am talking about.)
As a democratic party supporter, it is sad to see supporters of the party are dividing into two groups. There is no way for this party to win the general elections if the angry Clinton supporters would shift their votes for McCain. Some of the comments I read on that CNN blog are very offended–I mean, what kind a democrat are you, if you choose to switch party line just because Obama is a black presidential candidate? You are not a true party supporter.
What Obama needs to do now is to bring Clinton to the table and work things out together.Clinton is dividing the party because she refused to concede this evening. She must join Obama and other democrats to beat McCain. I hope she thinks it through tonight and many days to come, it’s never too late to turn things around.
It is time for this party to heal and unite against the Republicans. The more we are fighting against each other, the less time we have to compete in the general election. Face it, would you want a 70-plus year-old president or a president who can bring new ideas to the country?
According to the New York Times, the infamous New York governor Eliot Spitzer is set to resign today morning.
This came after a shocking revelation that Spitzer was involved in prostitution ring. The resignation will make Lt. Gov. David Paterson be sworn as the next governor.Paterson will be the first black governor in the state of NY and the forth one in the country.
It is a good news that Spitzer is resigning. The state can’t function if the entire Albany staff is talking about their boss. This will bring the state of New York politics back to normal. Everyone can go back to work without the distraction from this mess.
Do you remember what happened in the 2000 U.S presidential election?
Do you remember this guy named Ralph Nadar?
Nadar is back to steal the votes away from the Democrat. Today, he announces to run for 2008 Presidential election as a third-party, the Green Party on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” His decision to run is based on his dissatisfaction against the Republican presidential candidate John McCain and the Democratic presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for failing to provide full Medicare coverage for all and dealing with the Pentagon mess.
As I listened to Nadar, I wondered, how will he be able to provide full Medicare coverage for all? Watch, when he becomes a President, the country will go through another round of fiscal crisis and nothing will get done at the White House.
Do John Edwards and Barack Obama really want to win?
Since the summer, Sen. Edwards and Sen. Obama have been attacking Sen. Hillary Clinton on various issues from immigration to her health care plan. It never seemed to stop, right? Hopefully, attacks against Clinton will end soon.
Thursday’s night Democratic Presidential debate in Las Vegas has proven that it is time for these two senators to stop bashing Clinton. Audience booed whenever Edwards and Obama started to say negative things about her. Potential voters are sick and tied of attacks on Clinton.
Attacks on Clinton show that Edwards and Obama do not have anything to say. Face it, if they want to win, they should be spending more time talking about their plans for America and not how bad Sen. Clinton is.
If they want to beat Clinton, they need to stop attacking her, period.
It seems the Bush administration doesn’t want to end the war anytime soon.
President Bush has asked for $42.3 billion in addition to a request of $147 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This brings the 2008 request for war funding to $189.3 billion.
It is clear that the president is out of touch with the reality. No matter how much money the U.S is willing to spend for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the violence in those country will not stop. Situations there will not get any better unless the U.S sends a strong message to leaders in those countries to get their acts together.
I don’t want taxpayers money to go to waste. The Bush administration has spent enough money onto these wars. It is time for politicians to spend money in the right place and end the wars.
