• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

    Does the U.S. have a negative self-image? How did this happen to us?

    Does the U.S. need to take a trip to the psychologist? As of recently, we have rendered a horrible image of our very own country. It seems as if the rest of the world just loves to bash us for our way of life. Why is this happening? When did America stop becoming a country revered by the rest of...

    Legalize it!

    The whole concept of the government banning anything they deem "unsafe" for society sort of starts down a dangerous path. An extreme extension of this is the banning of certain books that might be "unsafe". Already there are talks on the mid to far left of figuring out how to impose some sort of...

    Does economics have moral significance?

    Like all the forces of the universe that created us as a result, economics is AMORAL. At least it should be in the free-market sense of the word. I think it somewhat parallels the theory of evolution and survival of the fittest. These are also both amoral systems that do what they do better than...

    Believing the unbelievable

    I think the problem is that we too easily believe people with credible titles, positions, and degrees. I think it starts sort of a chain reaction when one credible person comes up with a theory and other people adhere to, then you have more and more people who seem credible believing something...

    Obamacare to make doctor shortage worse

    Yeah that's strange how the natural market forces aren't doing what Obama wants. It's difficult to control parts of the economy to get the exact results you want. I believe in light economic regulation (minimum wage, etc.) but it seems to me that the only options that work are to NOT control the...

    Politico: only 38% say Obama deserves Reelection

    I agree completely. If the things going on in Washington right now are considered moderate, then I sure as hell am an extremist.

    Jesse Jackson said

    Re: Hesse Jackson said Yeah I think that would be a good idea except I don't know how well that would work in practice. I don't understand how we have troops in virtually every country around the world doing nothing, but we can't get some in our own country to help out? How about we get some...

    As a libertarian, I wish the democrats were doing better.

    I agree completely. So far, the Republican comeback has been extremely anticlimactic. I used to just say that I was a Republican so I didn't have to go into it, but after seeing their true lack of assembling quality candidates and platforms I make it specifically clear to everyone that asks that...

    oppinions anyone?

    I feel like we have too many misguided political passions in this country. We've got to do this. We can't allow this, and certainly now that. But the question is WHY? ON WHAT BASIS CAN WE MAKE THIS DECISION? As for building the mosque on ground zero, I hate to tell you that we have freedom of...

    Does America take full advantage of Political Experimentation?

    Our foundation is setup to foster political experimentation, so on that grounds, yes. I think the two-party system makes this almost impossible though. I'm a supporter of eliminating the two-party system so that more than two voices can be heard. Sounds like an American concept to me.

    BBC writer and blogger have good things to say about Glenn Beck.

    A fair, unbiased media statement? Why that's just un-American!

    State's Rights?

    States make their own laws until there becomes such a widespread disparity between opposing views that it must be addressed by the federal level. It also needs to be an important law/issue. That's the way I see it at least. Correct me if you think I'm wrong.

    Why the Tea Party is a Danger

    The actual principles on which the tea party lie are ones I generally agree with. The only way this movement can become successful is if it, for lack of a batter phrase, kicks all the idiots out. The tea party needs to do something that turns off the blind followers and puts a stronger emphasis...

    State your position

    This whole two-party system we have setup here.. I hate it. The way I see it the two sides have been put up to look at the issue like this: Left: These crazy-religious nut jobs have no sense of reality and want to force women back into functioning as primarily homemakers. They don't realize...

    Why don't Libertarians ever talk about the positives of their beliefs?

    I think the basis of your question lies in the very difference of principles between ideologies. Where as say the Democratic party's actions tend to promote an underlying theme of prosperity of the people and many other positive connotations spread through highly charismatic politicians, other...
