  • Romney's religion unimportant

    This being my last column of the semester, I would like to thank all those who actually take the time out of their Thursdays to read my column. Today, I would like to write about Mitt Romney. As many of you probably know Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will deliver a speech on Thursday in Texas about his Mormon faith…

  • No holiday humbugs

    As I constantly read and see people walking around with their negative perceptions about Christmas, I wonder if they even know what Christmas is really all about. So let me set the record straight, Christmas is the holiday in which the birth of Jesus is celebrated…

  • Don't count out McCain

    Last weekend, at a leadership conference put on by Young America’s Foundation, I heard one speaker – John Miller from the National Review – who gave the pros and cons of all the Republican presidential candidates. One thing he touched on was how John McCain can win the 2008 election…

  • Don't forget to thank a vet

    As you all know, next Monday we do not have classes. We take this one day out of our busy lives to salute those who serve and have served our great country through military service. Or maybe this is news to some, as it seems Veteran’s Day is becoming a holiday in which less people are paying tribute to those who have given everything – including their lives – to protect the freedoms Americans sometimes forget are not free…

  • Students should get out and vote

    It’s coming up on that time again in our state, election time. Most of you probably aren’t as excited as I am, but I love this time of year. I love having a say in the way our government is run and helping decide who will represent our state and our country for the next few years…

  • A stunning hypocrisy of intolerance for Tolerance Week

    Many of you have probably seen the outcry on campus this week for tolerance and the diversity of opinion. However, several groups on campus who are part of the far, far left side think their opinion is the only one that can be tolerated. I would like use a quote directly from fliers that groups participating in a Week of Tolerance were handing out on the mall this week…

  • Sex offenders need harsher surveillance

    Today in America, it seems we can not go a single week without hearing in the news that there was another innocent child abducted by a child molester. This is something that disgusts me, and is a problem that has become out of control in our society. With the internet…

  • Thompson the best choice for '08

    Let’s be honest, does Hillary Clinton really want to run against Law and Order’s District Attorney Arthur Branch? The once actor, once senator, once lawyer and once blue collar worker Fred Thompson has now turned into a presidential candidate. Thompson could now be the Republicans’ savior in the 2008 election…

  • Army soldiers can earn credits while serving

    The U.S. Army will soon offer accredited college credits for many of its training programs, according to The Associated Press. A soldier could earn enough credits to retire from the Army with an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. The program is called the College of the American Soldier…

  • Run, Rossi, Run

    Washington Democrats continue to make an effort to destroy things that actually help the state. Republican Dino Rossi resigned from his position with the Forward Washington Foundation earlier this week after being accused of running an “illegal shadow campaign…

  • Hillary's hokey health care

    It is all over the news: Hillary Clinton has unveiled a new universal health care program, again. An article from the Associated Press states that Hillary Clinton has come up with a health care program that would call for every American to have health insurance with the federal government assisting you with the costs…

  • Remember September 11th

    On Tuesday Sept. 11, 2001, at 8:46 a.m. the north World Trade Center tower in New York City was hit by American Airlines Flight 11. Sixteen minutes later, the south tower was struck by United Airlines Flight 175. Shortly after in Virginia, American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon and United Flight 93 crashed into a field in Pennsylvania…

  • American havens for illegal aliens

    Seattle is one of the few major cities in the United States with a sanctuary policy, according to a report by the Congressional Research Service. The cities and counties who have sanctuary policies simply support a “don’t ask, don’t tell” motto when dealing with illegal aliens…

  • Pulling out sends the wrong signal

    This being my first column in this newspaper, I would like to introduce myself as a conservative voice for The Daily Evergreen. Here are a few things to expect from me in my future columns: First and foremost there will be no “Bush Bashing” – the election is over and has been for a long time…
