1. Freedom and its Price in the Georgian Conflict August 21, 2008 Normally the articles I write deal with sports, photography, or sports memorabilia preservation. Now, given that the Beijing Olympics are in progress, the general assumption is that I have an unlimited number of topics to discuss. Needless to say this article is about a different topic occurring in the news. This topic actually affects my life and the lives of the people that I hold dear in my heart. The problem is that over a week ago Russian troops invaded The Republic of Georgia. I must say that this is going to be the topic of my latest opinionated article. The Republic of Georgia...

2. Two Historic Attractions In New York City That Are Worth Noting August 12, 2008 The Statue of Liberty originated in France. Over 100 years ago, France decided to give it away to the United States. They did it to symbolize their friendship that started and had continued during the American Revolution. Since then, the Statue of Liberty has been known to represent freedom and democracy for the United States as well as keeping the friendship with France. This New York attraction is one of the most popular, especially in the summer time. In order to get there, you are required to take a ferry to either Liberty Island or Ellis Island, which is in close proximity to the... (read more) Author: Eddie Frank

3. America's Best Days - Gone or Yet to Come? July 30, 2008 In a Rasmussen telephone poll taken recently, voters were asked whether America's best days were ahead or behind it. In the poll's findings, 32% of those polled thought that the nation's best days were yet to come. However, more than 50% of Americans thought that the country's best days were already in the past. In 1770, as he was watching the birth of this nation, American professor Alexander Tyler wrote; "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that moment on,... (read more) Author: James Smith

4. Iraq War- Its Impact On Muslims July 28, 2008 Muslims and Christians have a history of conflict. During last few decades when USA was sought by the nations of Middle East it was thought that the conflicts will reduce. But USA's total support for Israel has made US a suspect in the eyes of Muslims around the world. What impact has the Iraq war had on Muslims around the world? The war on Iraq was started with the stated purpose of finding WMDs. It ended with death of Saddam Hussein. After that the USA decided to have democracy in Iraq. But did not know how to do this. Can one export democracy? USA tried that. It is still trying that. B... (read more) Author: cd mohatta

5. Skills Development and Social Upliftment in South Africa July 29, 2008 Despite South Africa’s 15 years of democracy, we are left with many of Apartheid’s legacies. One of these is the chronic shortage of skilled professionals, managers and artisans. The reasons for this are varied, but the root cause lies in the inferior quality of education that was imparted to the majority of the population and the regulated, yet irrational patterns of population settlement that were enforced by the Apartheid government. The most severe consequence of this lack of skills is unemployment - a state endured by many South Africans. However, even for those unskilled workers who ar... (read more) Author: Lyndi Lawson

6. India- The Vibrant Nature Of Democray In India July 24, 2008 India has thriving democracy. The Indian democracy is said to be very vibrant. With the number of religions, languages, customs in India it is indeed a wonder that India is not only surviving as a country but also thriving. During last one week the members of Indian parliament are crossing over from one party to another at a speed that would surprise the fastest cat. Is this a negative factor or a positive factor? Most of the commentators are calling this immoral politics. The MPs are changing their affiliation overnight. Yes, it does look immoral. But does this hurt democracy or help it...

7. India- Future Of Rahul Gandhi July 24, 2008 At present India is focusing on a new leader who is emerging fast- Rahul Gandhi. What impact will Rahul Gandhi have in Indian democracy? Let us try and understand. The Indian National Congress is full of old politicians who are not known much for their honesty but more for the wily moves they can make. All of these leaders can secure their own parliamentary seat but can make no contribution in getting a majority for Congress in the country. 2 Rahul Gandhi is meeting people around the country and trying to solve their problems. Let us say that he is rather trying to understand their p... (read more) Author: cd mohatta

8. Buying Property in Greece for under £80,000 July 24, 2008 Ancient Greece may have laid the foundations for modern culture and civilisation, including democracy, philosophy, education and a host of literary and mathematical concepts, but it is foundations of an entirely different kind that are now occupying the minds of savvy British property buyers. Heritage is only one of the many draw cards of a country that also has azure islands, Mediterranean sunshine and now, budget direct flights from the UK to attract second-home buyers. The property market in Greece is already an established one, with a solid internal and international property market t... (read more) Author: Homes Overseas

9. An Overview of Education And American Democracy July 16, 2008 It's the American dream. An impoverished family-- immigrants or natives-- sacrifices everything to provide a better life for the children. They live in squalor, wear worn clothes, live off the cheapest foodstuffs available, forgo healthcare, sell assets, deplete savings, anything, just to provide for the their children. And always, always, that provision places education foremost. Some will point to laws, to government, to the Constitution, and say "Here is America." They are wrong. As important as these things are they are not our country; they are simply the guardians. This co... (read more) Author: shalu dhanda

10. Summut Stinks, And It's Not The North End Of a South Bound Cow June 29, 2008 So here’s Hilary. She's in a bind. Sez to Obama. She sez, yo my man, get your donors to pay off my debt, I’ll get my donors to donate to you so you can pay off my debts so my donors can donate to you so I can pay off my debts and have my donors to donate to you. Hello? Are we electing a president here, or playing silly buggers with sacks of cash? I mean, is this really about democracy? Is this really about first-time voters? Is this really about all of us having a voice? Is this really about Change We Can Believe In? Is this really about citizens who have declared their independence from ...

11. How Important are We the People, as a Nation? June 29, 2008 Just exactly what is the future of our Democracy? Are we just lost in our own times and seeing them as more critical than other times because they affect us personally? Is there anything left to do, or is the planet as a whole just tumbling down a course of inevitable doom? I suppose that a very great percentage of Americans, believe that a "Capitalistic Democracy" is Democracy... period! This is not true. You can have a Socialistic Democracy. They exist and thrive right now. Failure of Capitalism as the primary driving force of our Democracy, is not surprising, yet is also not fini... (read more) Author: David Carroll

16. Memorial Day - The Right Reason to Celebrate May 12, 2008 ‘A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won't cross the street to vote in a national election.’ - Bill Vaughan It cannot be said for sure if Bill Vaughan’s is tongue-in-cheek or dark humor. However, there is no doubt that patriotism has lost much of its fervor due to lack of faith on governments which run the country. Young men and women are shying away from responsibilities towards the country. They do not feel that sense of belonging or that will to redress that was so distinctly dominant in their ancestors. That has become very obvious if you take in the... (read more) Author: dorothy smith

17. Bulgarian Black Sea Coast Cities and Resorts April 16, 2008 Bulgaria with its capital city Sofia is like a lesser child of Europe. The country was pretty popular tourist destination and before when was under a communist regime. But with the coming of Democracy, the country has seen quite major economic reforms and continuously growing tourist flow. The beautiful ancient cities of Bulgaria are now enjoying a great number for tourists and travelers from across the globe, but most of these are coming mostly because of the unique ski, spa and Black Sea resorts. Bulgaria offers some of the most exciting destinations for tourists looking to enjoy a va... (read more) Author: Ivaylo Yordanov

18. The Last King Of Spain? April 14, 2008 European King Juan Carlos helped steer the country of Spain from a dictatorship to a modern democracy after he came to the throne some 32 years ago, and his achievements include defending the fledgling democracy in 1981 from an attempted coup. Once popular and regarded as a man of the people, recent times have been more troubling for the king as political groups on both the left and right have called for an end to the Spanish monarchy. 1981 it could be argued was the height of the King's popularity when some army officers stormed the Spanish Parliament. Spain had been ruled by the di... (read more) Author: Roger Munns

19. Markets work - even in downturns April 10, 2008 Utopians and fantasists usually use the turmoil of 'bourgeois' living and market upheavels to propose 'brave new world' solutions. These 'new' solutions are of course, the very old and tired ideas of conformity, equality, security and risk-less living. Even in turmoil, more dynamic and open markets are far better, than state-controlled, regulated and fettered systems. The facts, as John Adams once said, are stubborn things supporting this truism. There are periods of rising markets and falling markets. Some sectors of the economy will expand, others will contract. Sometimes there will be... (read more) Author: C. Read

20. Iraq and Iran - another example of weakness leading to more violence April 10, 2008 fascism lurks behind Islam . It could be just mere coincidence.">Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, we can see that Iran and Islam are again rattling the sabre of confrontation. It is clear that weakness begets war. As that old Anglo white warmonger capitalist-conservative Churchill stated, ‘Nations which go down fighting rise again, those who surrender tamely are finished.’ Tamely surrendering to fascist Islam, running out of Iraq and Afghanistan to placate chattering socialist morons at home and in the media, or the opportunistic cowardly and fainéant, will only embolden civilization’s e...

21. The beautiful Crusades and the creation of modern civilisation April 10, 2008 There were eight crusades to retake once former Christian lands, occupied by the violence of Turks and Muslims during the pre-modern period. These episodic events ranged over a period of rougly 200 years from 1096 to 1299 A.D and they constitute the awakening of Europe from a fetal-positioned backwater to emerging colossus. These complicated, seemingly futile but ultimately transformative feats of military, religious and economic power, are of course hated today by the ignoramuses in the media and academia. Without the crusades the modern world would not exist as we know it. There are ma... (read more) Author: C. Read

22. Going bankrupt? Are Western states already there? April 09, 2008 Government programs are expensive, usually unnecessary and fiscally dangerous. By any measure, every single Western state – even the richest – are technically close to bankrutpcy. Future obligtions outstrip future revenue streams. Welfare, pensions, medicine, and social guarantees by government to their clients or citizens, ensures that future liabilties will result in massive tax increases, more debt, or even bankruptcy. Thanks to the mommy state massive future tax and debt explosions are guaranteed. This is the brave new world of compassionate, crying, multi-cult socialism. Spend until... (read more) Author: C.

23. North Amer-Arabia ? Cultural self loathing will destroy the US and Canada April 09, 2008 Eur-Arabia is a real and vibrant phenomenon – even if the chattering Marxists and compassionate jet-setting internationalists are too ignorant to understand it. Normally, outside of war, a culture or civlisation never disappears in a revolutionary flash. Like the decline of Rome, the change is slow, imperceptible, yet resolute and obvious. The Muslims won't conquer Europe and North America through a military campaign – they will do it by changing and controlling the culture, the political machinery of state, and the mores of society through endless propaganda. Al Qaeda has the wrong strategy. ... (read more) Author: C. Read

24. Tired of Gandhi April 09, 2008 In political theatre certain names are used to provide cachet, gravitas, or moral resolve. My favorites happen to be war – mongering, pro – capitalist, largely dead white European males. How banal. In the post – modern, populist, ‘I – feel – your – pain’ (please let me increase taxes and spend more because I love you) socialism, no name gets used and abused more than Gandhi. It is frankly annoying and tiring. Gandhi was anything but great. Churchill called the careworn defender of Indian self – sufficiency a ‘half - naked fakir’. Harsh but not far off the mark. Gandhi’s recipe for India ... (read more) Author: C. Read

25. The Global Warming Cult - back to paganism and onwards to higher taxes of course April 09, 2008 The Europeans in their desire to be relevant on the world stage, have erected some immoral and vicious philosophies. Fascism, Communism, Socialism and post modern nonsense and dialecticism exemplified by the Useless Nations, as well as other cults of utopian fantasy are obvious examples. Like its cousin the current Eco-fascist Global Warming cult is premised on non-scientific data; a belief in an all knowing kind technocratic elite that will lead the group; a belief in a new world order; a hatred of modernity; a hatred of capitalism; a hatred of US inspired liberalism and a disdain for work, e...
