    Ron Paul's Political Outsider

    This scholarly article discusses Ron Paul’s presidential run in 2008. The author focuses on determining wether or not Ron Paul, who has had a varied history on what party he represents on his ticket, can be considered a political outsider in the traditional party system or as a political outsider in the third party system. Since Ron Paul has ran as a member of the Republican party and as a member of the Libertarian party it is not an easy matter of looking for electoral consistency. This source will be used as a primary reference for any examples involving Ron Pau. It will also be used as a foundational piece for defining those who run under the traditional party system versus those who run as a third party…

    Analysis Of George Romney's Crashing The Party

    George Romney's collapsed presidential campaign of 1968 was doomed for various reasons, not just his odd "brainwashed" statement. Chris Bachelder, in "Crashing the Party," argues that Romney's campaign had already begun to falter by the time of his gaffe. Bachelder argues that his campaign was "hampered" because Romney failed to endorse Goldwater in the 1964 campaign, he was unwilling to completely align with the Party organization, and his independent style prevented him from being completely accepted (Bachelder 131). Romney refused to endorse Goldwater based on principle, he did not feel comfortable endorsing someone who was heavily influenced by a certain group (in this case Southern whites). While he accepted the RNC's actions at the 1964…

    Summary Of The Cost Of Solitary Confinement

    After reading “The Cost of Solitary Confinement,” I agree that the use of solitary confinement should be abolished in prison. Before the reading, I have never heard of such a thing as solitary confinement. Once I started reading the story, I immediately thought this was a foul in wrong thing to be doing, and was flabbergasted that it was even existed in our prisons today. There are many different reasons that I agree with this, but I'm only going to be focusing on if you of them. First off, if none of you are familiar with solitary confinement is, I'll give you a little run down.…

    Quadrennial Defense Review Report

    national security strategy, “remains the only nation to project and sustain large-scale operations over extended distances.” During his campaign for the presidency, Barack Obama frequently pledged to reform the defense budget. But his defense budget, released in the same week as the QDR, shows no clear- cut separation from the spending habits perpetuated in the budgets of his predecessor, George W. Bush. It allocated more funds for Special Forces, helicopters, missile-launching drones and other equipment for the “asymmetric wars” in Afghanistan and Iraq but it also provided for a new aircraft carrier and attack submarines. My society will address the issues involved within military operations that are currently scrutinized by many individuals in current society. Currently in the United States, the voting system for federal, state and municipal elections allows for a representative government headed by a majority party, yet the President may not in all cases be represented by that party as he or she is elected separately. This being the case, often legislative actions are stalled such as those currently involving…

    Solitary Nation: Documentary Analysis

    The United States prison system is notorious for the way it treats its inmates. There are so many theories, and facts to back up the claim that the prison system is not working the way it was intended to be, and it continues to be a growing issue that the government is not addressing. Further, within the already complicated prison system, there is another issue. Solitary confinement, which was originally supposed to be used as a short term punishment within prisons, or jails, has now become an integrated part of prison life (Edge, 2014). Solitary Nation, is 2014 documentary highlights the damages that solitary confinement is doing to people (Edge, 2014). Individuals whom have not shown any signs of degrading mental health come out of segregation, or as the inmates call it, “seg,” disturbed (Edge, 2014).…

    The Pros And Cons Of Mitt Romney

    Mitt Romney is running for President again. Though technically unannounced, the news effectively became public last on the 16th of this month, when Romney just happened to let it slip that he was “seriously considering” another campaign, having said previously that he would make a decision within “weeks, not months.” When a US politician purports to be “considering” a run, it usually means they’ve already started buying up White House-width curtain rails.…

    Flip-Flops Do Not Fit Politicians Analysis

    I am an independent voter, but even I can tell flip-flops and politicians do not go well together. As for presidential candidate Mitt Romney, one may need to second guess the correlation of the two. Extensive research of the two candidates running for presidency in the 2012 election led me to conclude Mitt Romney cannot be depended on to keep a definitive opinion, on how he plans to approach certain issues our nation faces. His character displays indecisiveness over and over again surrounding a few specific issues. The only thing he seems to be sure about is his political party status, a Republican, and his membership in the 1% club. Romney seems to be for or against any issue based on the majority opinion, so he can get the most votes. A few examples on the nation’s issues in which Romney has proven to “flip-flop,” are abortion rights, gun-control, and immigration laws.…

    'Rhetorical Analysis Of Solitary Confinement'

    Most people understand what solitary confinement from films or television shows that revolve around a prison. The prisoner is sent to a cell where they have zero human interaction, unless it is with the prison guards escorting the prisoner for vital human needs such as eating, which is also done alone. It is a punishment for the inmates that have been deemed unsafe to have around the normal population of the prison, or have done something wrong that caused the prison to send them to solitary to punish the prisoner for what they have done. I was originally someone who believed something such as this may seem simple enough to understand and was a humane way of dealing with a problematic prisoner, when in reality, it is much more traumatic for…

    Solitary Confinement Without Rehabilitation

    This third of the prison population that was placed in solitary confinement, one day may be released into society and asked to be socialized, when they were never rehabilitated, but rather segregated. The correctional facility is furthering the damage to inmate’s that are already psychologically unstable and furthering dissocializing these inmates, then releasing them. We would not even put animals in a situation where they would be isolated from others, because we understand the importance of socializing, but we do it to inmates and define it as humane and are confused why recidivism is so high. Solitary confinement without rehabilitation will lead to more issues, rather than solutions. Caging what society defines as animals, then isolating…

    The Importance Of Solitary Confinement

    There are plenty reasons that solitary confinement should be changed based on research, but there is also many obvious reasons for it to stay the same. Most people would feel bad for someone just sitting in a jail 23 hours a day but you shouldn't. The reason that they are sitting in a jail for 23 hours a day is because they hurt or did something horribly bad. The only reason they are in jail is because of themselves. For whatever they did this is what they get as a punishment. The most important part of our days is being safe. And to leave these prisoners with others horrid thing may happen.…

    Can I Eat

    The GOP map for Tuesday could as easily presage a Romney sweep as a reignited three-way “brawl” heading into further showdowns through the spring. Romney should do well in his adopted home state of Massachusetts as well as in neighboring Vermont and Virginia, where he and libertarian firebrand Rep. Ron Paul of Texas were the only candidates to file successfully. Santorum hopes for momentum restoring wins in Ohio, Oklahoma and Tennessee after a disappointing loss in Michigan. Gingrich has set expectations a bit lower; claiming only that he hopes to win Georgia by a larger margin than Romney won his native Michigan. Romney is competitive in nearly all states that are polled, and a win in Ohio or a southern state like Tennessee can reassure his victory in the republican presidential election. After a three-state drubbing at the hands of Santorum on February 7 and a controversial victory over Paul in Maine, Romney…
