Conservatism in America is making a comeback and this blog is part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy that is making it happen. I believe the United States should revive Ronald Reagan ideals - Hope, Freedom, Liberty, Individualism, and a bright and shining City on a Hillhttp://paulthepoliticalpundit.blogspot.com/punditcy@gmail.com (PaulthePundit)Blogger73125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283921023408248885.post-8246498948856182608Sun, 14 Feb 2010 04:20:00 +00002010-02-13T20:20:01.661-08:00We live in a world where some countries enjoy a comfortable-- many would say lavish-- standard of living while other countries are mired in poverty.  So what sets these ‘have’ countries apart from the ‘have-nots’?  Is it that the developing countries are hindered by a scarcity of natural resources?  Or, could the economic success of a country lie in the specific policy’s employed by its http://paulthepoliticalpundit.blogspot.com/2010/02/lesson-in-economic-freedom-america.htmlpunditcy@gmail.com (PaulthePundit)7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283921023408248885.post-217282006246512975Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:26:00 +00002010-02-07T20:26:27.571-08:00Our political leaders keep telling us that the worst is over, financial conditions are improving and we are at the end of the recession.   And yet, their actions speak much louder than their words.  The financial reform bill that the House of Representatives past last December  authorizes the Federal Reserve to shell out up to $4 trillion in emergency funding to big banks the next time the http://paulthepoliticalpundit.blogspot.com/2010/02/fix-government-corruption-give-power.htmlpunditcy@gmail.com (PaulthePundit)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283921023408248885.post-7688737325771703537Sun, 07 Feb 2010 04:12:00 +00002010-02-06T20:19:02.869-08:00Ronald Reagan was always known for his jokes and his ability to make people laugh. Its not that he wasn't a man of depth or that he didn't understand the seriousness of life. He had a lot of setbacks in his life.
