McCain gets a big endorsement

by Justin October 27, 2008

I doubt it’s a very welcome one, though. Wednesday’s Washington Post had an article stating that Al Quaeda prefers to have McCain elected as USA’s next president. For the record, I don’t put a lot of stock into this… but if the same website had expressed support for Obama, you can bet McCain would be [...]

No on Prop 8

by Justin October 25, 2008

Despite our differences on the war and religion and marriage, I’m pretty sure that Joel and I can agree that enshrining the State or Federal Constitution with a discriminatory law like Prop 8 is wrong. The Mormon church has led a bitter fight against equality in marriage in California, even including dirty blackmail tactics against [...]

Why Obama is not the wisest choice

by Joel October 23, 2008

“The message today seems more like: Ask not what you can do for yourselves or your country, but what your country must do for you.” In this statement, Clarence Thomas has summed up a lot of the “progressive” American mentality. Nothing illustrates this more than Obamanomics or the future redistribution of wealth that we are [...]

Conservatives for Change! (and message to my dad)

by Justin October 23, 2008

The momentum is picking up! More and more conservatives are coming out for Obama… and making amazing arguments for him! (is my dad listening?) Seriously, this is amazing. Everywhere I look there are more of them… not just the pundits and Colin Powell but everyday americans who happen to be conservative seeing that the best [...]

Obama: Commander in Chief

by Justin October 23, 2008

Don’t you want a leader who has the ability to listen and learn as well as back up his own decisions? We certainly value civil debate here on Skull Sessions and TIME magazine’s Joel Klein just laid out a great example of when David Petraeus briefed Obama on the war… despite their disagreements, Obama asserted [...]

Danger for Republicans: James Dobson

by Justin October 22, 2008

In light of the myriad of recent endorsements of conservatives for Obama (Obamacons), with a main reason being Sarah Palin, one has to wonder what the future of the Republican Party holds. Is it going to be a James Dobson religious right who deny Democratic voters (even republican ones) communion or a more moderate and [...]

a plug for civil debate

by Justin October 21, 2008

One of my favorite tech shows, net@night had a semi-political show this week… and they tacitly supported Skull Sessions by favoring civil debate and being well informed! “If it’s taboo to talk about politics, we’re doing ourselves a disservice.” Amber MacArthur Go to this link and either subscribe to listen in iTunes, or listen right [...]

The dangers of a majority

by Joel October 21, 2008

The framers of our constitution set up a republic in order to protect against mob rule. Thus we have checks and balances not only between the three branches of government, but also between the federal government and the states. The electoral college system and the Senate make sure population centers like New York, California, and [...]

The potential for change…

by Justin October 20, 2008

If you’re in for a good long read about the intricacies of this race, and how race might play into it, Matt Bai of the New York Times has nailed it for you. Will Obama be a transformational candidate and change the electoral map forever, as Colin Powell suggests and progressives like me yearn for? [...]
