This column may throw everyone for a loop, but I don’t really care. Today it is written to you, the reader. To be honest with you all, as this year has progressed I have come to loathe politics more and more. I know many of my conservative friends would like me to keep writing…

Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend the West Coast Leadership Conference in Santa Barbara, Calif. The WCLC is an event for high school and college-age conservatives. I’d like to touch on an issue I do not think I have in the past, and that is the anger of liberalism…

As if there weren’t already enough struggles in our culture, a new one is approaching us this Christmas season. The American Humanist Association out of Washington, D.C., is launching a new ad campaign this year on city buses. The ad reads, “Why believe in a god…

Looking at Facebook last night, I was surprised to find that many of my fellow citizens were apparently not proud to be Americans until about 8 p.m. Tuesday – when Barack Obama was elected. I would like to say I have always been proud to be an American. I find it depressing that some of the youth…

There are only five days left until our nation decides what course we want to take for the next four years. Barack Obama is the candidate the media makes out to be the savior of our nation. If he wins, people will find out just how much of a socialist the man is…

As the 2008 presidential race continues to take more twists and turns, Colin Powell has thrown the Republican Party for a loop. Powell endorsed Barack Obama earlier in the week, leaving the party he has associated with for more than 20 years. This doesn’t surprise me though…

After 28 years of the Democratic party’s domination of Washington state politics, it is time for a change. Yes, it’s true, our beloved state has not had a Republican governor in 28 years. It is odd to think my generation has never known what it is like to have a Republican governor…

Move over, ShopKo. Wal-Mart is coming to Pullman. That’s right, the plans for a new Wal-Mart Supercenter have received the green light, set to be built on Bishop Boulevard. And while many in the community are distressed about it, I bet there are just as many who are for it…

WSU is facing a crisis. This year represents a landmark in our history because we have the largest freshmen class ever – an astounding 3,208 new faces. While this is exciting and historic, it creates a huge problem regarding the on-campus housing situation…

The Democratic nominees have been one-upped, thanks to John McCain and Sarah Palin. Palin represents a new path: A female vice presidential nominee in a Republican campaign, as well as the first VP nominee from Alaska. McCain’s strategy looks to be a good one…

And so it begins. The school year and the presidential race begin to heat up. While millions watched the Olympics, Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama released their first television ads of the political season. Ironically, they proposed strikingly similar plans of action relating to the energy crisis and jobs in America…

After my first year of college, I began to hate any word that ended in the suffix “ism” and the phrase “the rise of.” Ever since Barack Obama became the Democratic nominee, I’ve come to see “change” as a banality and “Yes we can!” as some sort of greeting…

The future of America is going to be decided in a little more than six months. This is why I plead for everyone to vote for John McCain. Truth be told, I am not his biggest supporter. I do not feel he is conservative enough, but he is, without a doubt, the best option for America…

I love my mom. My mother is a wonderful influence on me, and I don’t know what I’d do without her. I will say her constant worrying about my schoolwork or if I’m getting enough sleep can sometimes be a bit much, but it is comforting to know someone is looking out for me…

The most dangerous enemy to any nation is never an outside threat. Rather, it is always a fifth column. In America, extreme liberalism is our fifth column. Think about it. The world has seen its fair share of what happens when crazy liberals permeate society…
