Herman Cain Turns Jesus Into A Right Wing Conservative Killed By a Liberal Court

If you can control one's religion, you have immense power. And I think that's what Herman Cain is trying to do. He was boasting that Jesus was a proud conservative. He used lines like healing the sick, being unemployed (I thought he was a carpenter?), feeding the poor, and never used a governmental program. Like those even existed over 2000 years ago. Especially not from the Roman Empire to

7 Reasons Why We Must Save the Post Office

With the Post Office having finical trouble, there are rumors that it might meet an end next year. With a Republican house, they could very well happen. However I think I have a list of non-deniable reasons of why the Post Office must be saved. 1. Everyday People Use ItIf you have a house or apartment, I can bet you have a mailbox. If it ever broke, you would get another one. I consider the post

My Thoughts on The Presidency of Bill Clinton

This will be the last of my thoughts on the Presidency of whoever. I've done every single president until now except Bush Jr. and Barack Obama. Obama is still in his first term, and Bush Jr. hasn't been out of office that long. So for the sake of being fair, I'll give Bush Jr. till the end of Obama's term(s) for a retrospective. So yeah Bill Clinton became the first Democrat to get the high seat

My Thoughts on The Presidency of George H.W. Bush

Bush Sr rode off Reagan's popularity to obtain an easy victory to the role of President. Bush started his presidency as soon as the Cold War was coming to an end. Soviet Union broke up, Germany became one, walls fell, people rejoiced, and all that good stuff. He didn't really do anything with it, but I guess he didn't make matter worse. Probably the biggest key issue within his presidency was the

My Thoughts On The Presidency of Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter in a landslide election to become the first ultra-conservative (at least in both departments) in quite some time. The interesting thing about Reagan was that he was really the first President to get shot right at the start of his term. He forgot to duck (his own joke after the incident), but managed to survive and his popularity soared. Reagan's big thing was

My Thoughts on The Presidency of Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter took over after defeating Ford in the presidential election. Jimmy Carter was really the first president to express interest in "green energy" so to speak. He even installed solar panels on the White House.  Despite this great early thinking it was met with realistic harshness of the times. There was a bad energy crisis and even gas went up to insane levels. Despite being labeled "a

My Thoughts On The Presidency of Gerald Ford

Ford took over after Nixon after he resigned because of the Watergate scandal. One of the most memorable acts Ford had done was the pardon of Nixon for his crimes at Watergate. Now it was extremely controversial for it's time, and probably cost him the Presidency later to Jimmy Carter. However it took some deep courage to do such a thing, and I can respect that. Domestically, Ford's biggest

My Thoughts On The Presidency of Richard Nixon

Nixon came back from the depths of political losers and took over as really the last President to win an election after losing one. Most of the stuff Nixon did was really foreign policy. He went to the Communist People's Republic of China and tried to open up relations with them. Diplomacy at it's best. He was a fierce anti-Communist, so his support of the South Eastern wars and conflicts was

My Thoughts on the Presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson

LBJ took a role as President after JFK was assassinated in 1963.Domestically (despite a questionable past in politics) LBJ was pretty liberal socially. He signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which was the most major form of equal rights law in history. He also created Medicare for the eldery, and Medicaid for the poor. Both programs still help out many today. He also help created programs such as
