Today is a milestone for the MaverickVoice, as I post our 100th Article on the Internet. So, since this is a Special Day, I’m going to do something Special. I’m going to do something dramatically different from what we usually seem to post here. I’m going to share some Good News. In fact, it’s not just Good News for Conservatives, but, in my opinion, it’s Good News for the United States!
More...The basis for the National Popular Vote argument is the position that everyone should have an equal vote. This concept is generally considered “Democracy;” however, as James Madison described it in Federalist Paper #10, a Democracy is “a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble to administer the government in person.” It requires that EVERY PERSON WITH A VOTE must gather and CAST THEIR VOTE each and every time an issue needs to be decided. To assume that the “One Person One Vote” argument holds any validity whatsoever, we must also assume that, at the very least, a majority of the population will, in fact, cast their votes. Guess what? That doesn’t tend to be the case.
More...It seems like the battle cry of Democracy: “One Person, One Vote.” And it certainly sounds like a concept that should protect the Freedom and Liberty of a population, something that I totally support. Unfortunately, there’s a problem with the concept, and the problem, oddly enough, is Democracy.
More...In the time since our financial troubles started in 2008, our Government has repeated the same mistakes over and over again, each time going bigger and more expensively than the time before. TARP? STIMULUS? HEALTHCARE REFORM? FINANCIAL REFORM?! In each case, the margin for passing the bill was so narrow that it literally came down to one or two votes in order to get he deal passed…all with the very VOCAL opposition of the American People, and all in the name of being COMPASSIONATE.
More...I don’t spend a lot of time talking about Conservative TV & Radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh & Glenn Beck. I’ve made my positions clear through logical arguments based on FACTS, and I’ve also stated the fact that I do listen to both Limbaugh & Beck. I’ve made it clear that I do not always agree with them, and I’ve also made it clear that THEY don’t need me to go to bat every time some whack job starts spreading lies about them. Today, however, I feel the need to speak.
More...Back in January, 2010, the voters of Massachusetts voted for Republican Scott Brown to fill the seat vacated by the death of long-time Senator Teddy Kennedy, and Conservatives all did a collective “Snoopy” dance. Here at MaverickVoice.com, Steve Hansen asked the question, “Do you think Congress and the President will stop and think about what this says about their positions as a whole?” Well, today, we got the answer.
More...Do you ever feel like the only argument that ever seems to come from the Progressive/Liberal side of the Political Aisle is “Sit Down and Shut Up?” Al Gore has used it, claiming that the “Debate” over the issue of “Global Warming” is over. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have used it in regards to the Healthcare Reform Bill back in March, 2010. Barack Obama has used it…well, pretty much every time he’s opened his mouth. And their side of the aisle has a long tradition of using that tactic.
More...Racism and prejudice abound in the United States. A few years ago, I would have argued to the opposite point, giving examples of how far we’ve come since the days of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights Protests of the 1960’s. In truth, we have come a long way from the days of Dr. King, the KKK burning crosses and lynching black voters who had the courage to stand for their rights and pursue EQUALITY in America. But “Equality” has taken on a new meaning for some, and it is unfortunate that, as with the radical few who would put on white sheets and commit crimes of hatred and prejudice, thus painting a picture of bigotry and hatred by all whites against blacks, that, in this day and age, there are those who now spew the same kind of vile bigotry from the side of minorities. One such piece of human refuse is a guy by the name of “King Samir Shabazz” of the New Black Panther Party.
