There seems to be a new trend that is butting heads with political correctness. It would seem that political candidates that have a few blemishes and had less than perfect behavior in the past, are now being seen as acceptable. As finding dirt on virtually everyone is entirely possible now thanks to modern technology, the reality check of life seems to have set in. Continue reading Post ID 10444

US political power struggle 2010

Thailand’s acceptance in global community Part 2
As we look deeper we start to see a general concept of right and wrong in the global community of nations. There is a common thread that is loosely based on morals and ethics. If this seems to be lacking in a country, the country comes across as a bit of a bad boy and thus not earning the respect needed to have strings that can be pulled from time to time. In short favors are much harder to come by. Continue reading Post ID 10444

US Republican party described in two words
Reading the news and watching the network news broadcasts, there have been two words that have been associated with the Republican party from the time President Obama took office.
