18 In ’08 Gets My Vote

On October 1, I had the privilege to come to Rutgers to see a screening of 18 in ’08, a documentary produced by David Burstein, a Haverford College freshman. The documentary’s purpose: to get out the youth (18 to 24 year-old) vote and tell politicians how to make it happen.

Burstein and friends interviewed over 60 elected and former office-holders: Congressmen, Senators, Governors, mayors, state legislations and Presidential candidates, as well as activists, campus leaders…

Achieve Political Success Through A Promotional Product Political Campaign

All political candidates may not agree on political, societal or economic issues, but it is safe to infer political candidates agree that a successful political campaign builds public support and success.

Political campaigns, similar to marketing campaigns, must use effective and useful slogans in order to grasp a typically uninterested audience. In order to do so, political candidates need to get up and work for support. How can Barack Obama or Rudy Giuliani accomplish th…

Burgers, Fries And Ignorant Politics: Does Democracy Need An Overhaul?

America has become a confusing place for many people who are trying to decipher through the mess of politics that is inherent in a huge country that touts democracy. The Critical Review’s (No. 1 Vol. 19) article Ignorance as a Starting Point: From Modest Epistemology to Realistic Political Theory states that a new elitist political paternalism may be necessary to counter the general ignorance of the population. In other words, brighter minds need to make decisions for people….

Casting The Role Of An American President — ‘all Business Is Show Business!

So, I’m channel surfing in my New York City hotel room, organizing the junk I lugged from a conference to my hotel room floor, junk I’m about to pay an exorbitant surcharge to lug over the border and then throw out once I get home. No point in channel surfing,’cause there’s only one thing on, presidential hopefuls strutting their stuff.

Even with the volume turned off it didn’t take me long to size ’em up.

Disclaimer. I have no business writing an article about American…

Conspiracy Theory On Sandy Berger Scandal

On July, 19, 2004 the Associated Press revealed that the former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger was being investigated by the US Justice Department and the FBI in connection for a misdemeanor, specifically, mishandling of classified documents.

Eternal Vigilance To Protect Democracy WC 860

Thomas Jefferson said, “Eternal vigilance is the price of democracy,” but besides preserving our democracy we are also in a never-ending struggle to create and expand our rights. While our founding fathers called for freedom and democracy, our people had to struggle to enfranchise poor whites, to end slavery and to allow former slaves and women the right to vote. Liberties and entitlements that were never considered in the early days of our republic were later enshrined into …

George Bush’s Deception

Yesterday, I watched in disbelief George W. Bush’s convoluted speech to the House of Representatives. It was rather telling that this speech wasn’t in primetime but rather at 9 a.m. (6 a.m. in the West). I know a lot about politics since I write political thrillers (www.thetwentyfirstcentury.com) and I am constantly doing research for my books and articles. But it doesn’t take a writer of politics, or even one who doesn’t follow politics, to realize that what George Bush said…

Internet And Cable Tv Shake Up Democracy

Very rarely are we given the opportunity as citizens to participate in a revolution. The citizens that founded our republic participated in a revolution that has affected every corner of the earth for more than 200 years now. Our grandfathers and fathers participated in a revolution during World War II when we successfully ridded the world of Adolph Hitler and his technology of death that was sweeping civilization.

Finally we all participated in a quiet revolution when Com…
