In January of this year, I was in Austin, Texas for a wedding. The next day, I went to Johnson City and visited President Lyndon Johnson’s boyhood home and the adjacent museum. I realized that I had reduced Johnson’s presidency down to one good policy and one bad one: his courageous stand on behalf of [...] Continue Reading

Negative: President Bush will not have a good legacy

Posted on 06 November 2008 by Adam Ryback

If President Bush is about to leave office with one of the lowest approval ratings in history. There are many reasons for this poor rating. The first could be the plummeting economy. During a bad economy people often automatically blame the president, seeing his role as more legislative than executive, despite the fact that the president [...] Continue Reading

Without prayer, your vote is useless

Posted on 06 November 2008 by Thomas Klind

I read somewhere that the average time spent in line at the polls is over an hour for the presidential election. Perhaps this explains the astonishingly low national voter turnout. In 2004, for example, less than 65% of eligible voters in the country voted (yet it seems as though almost 100% feel like they have [...] Continue Reading

Socialist bailout destroys America’s future A look at how the bailout package will compromise capitalism

Posted on 06 November 2008 by Adam Ryback

For many years Democrats have been working toward turning our free market economy into one that resembles a social market economy. However, we are now at a stage in our country’s history in which there is no longer strong and popular opposition to this trend. Thanks to legislation such as the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act [...] Continue Reading

Conservative Christians and stem cells

Posted on 06 November 2008 by Robert Christensen

For years many conservative Christians have been criticized for being against “stem cell research.” This statement is completely false and makes the members of this group out to be irrationally afraid of new technology and innovation. The true position of the religious right’s view on this subject needs to clarified; they are opposed to the [...] Continue Reading

Republicrats Parties are polarized, but not mainstream America

Posted on 06 November 2008 by Austin Wozniak

The rancor and bitterness reflected in modern politics between the two parties is astounding. The differences between the far right and far left are radical and huge, and never have they been more apparent. However, the mainstream population, both to the left and right of the center, gets along just fine with one another. [...] Continue Reading

AIG: Will one more wrong move make this right?

Posted on 06 November 2008 by Carl Mueller

The New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has recently announced that AIG will be withholding bonuses and severance pay from the company’s former CEO and other upper level ex-employees. The amount being withheld is roughly $600 million. Cuomo has cited that these expenditures are extravagant and that due to the company’s debt to the American [...] Continue Reading

Barack Obama should be the next president of the United States

Posted on 23 October 2008 by Jason Ardanowski

I’m not going to offer yet another left-secular endorsement of Barack Obama for President. Instead, I offer a far more radical endorsement: Obama is the better choice than John McCain based on the editorial principles of The Warrior. Obama will do more for Marquette students. He will do more to hold the federal government and the [...] Continue Reading

John McCain should be the next president of the United States

Posted on 23 October 2008 by Austin Wozniak

This November, as the fall temperatures drop, Americans will head to the polls in as critical an election as has been seen in recent memory. The two candidates, I believe, are honorable men and I do not for a moment accept the partisan rancor that members of political parties seem to hold for the [...] Continue Reading

Catholic voters and the abortion factor

Posted on 23 October 2008 by Robert Christensen

I truly believe that neither Barack Obama nor John McCain will have a significant impact on many of the major issues facing this country. The economy will most likely take years to recover regardless of the economic reforms by either candidate. The troops are going to remain in Iraq and Afghanistan for years to come. And [...] Continue Reading
