Divisive Politics
Senator Obama's campaign is based upon a fantasy: his claimed ability to transcend politics-as-usual and thereby to unite the nation for a common purpose.

Making College More Affordable
This fall, over 18 million college-aged Americans will study at institutions of higher education. Unfortunately, this opportunity comes at a price that for many young Americans and their families is simply too expensive.

Everyone knows some weird cousin or aunt or sibling or friend we'd like to apologize for from time to time when they display "idiot behavior."

Responding to "None of the Above"
A few weeks ago I wrote an article about an addition to the election system called "None of the Above" and I asked American Policy Center supporters if they would support it. The answers certainly told the tale of the frustration over our election process that produces candidates most of us don't care for.

It's a Start, But Small Businesses Need to Hear More
When Senator John McCain delivered the keynote address at the National Federation of Independent Business 2008 National Small Business Summit last month, he did much more than speak to several hundred interested small business owners. He pushed the concerns of a significant voting bloc to the forefront of the presidential campaigns. In fact, both Sens. McCain and Barack Obama have spent much time specifically addressing the No. 1 issue among small businesses - healthcare. And it's about time.

"Gay Pride" For What?
A local newspaper recently contained an article from the Associated Press entitled, "Gay Pride Parades Mark Strides In Several Areas." The article was referring to recent so-called "Gay Pride Parades" that occurred in (Gee, go figure!) New York and San Francisco. Having read the article three times, I found it to be poorly written. I am deliberately withholding the reporter's name in all fairness because I don't know if the blame for the article's ambiguity can be rightfully attributed to her or to her editor, but beyond the gay marriage issue, the article neglected to list any other areas or strides (plural). To the extent that marriage is supposedly an "area," or a "stride" for which gays are to be "proud," I am still bewildered.
