The organization also publishes a monthly magazine known as the "Multinational Monitor." In 2001, Ralph Nader started up another non-profit organization known as Democracy Rising. This organization was dedicated to ending the War in Iraq, and bringing the troops back to America. The political opinions that Ralph Nader is so well known for would make him one of the highest rated presidents that America has ever seen. In his 2000 bid for the presidency Ralph Nader campaigned against the corporate powers dominance in the political landscape as well as the need for change in the manner of how presidential races are held.
While his practices were eventually made illegal in many cases, it is undeniable that his domination of the oil industry increased its efficiency, safety, and stabilized its market price. In my opinion, because of the many companies that were eliminated by Rockefellers practices, laws like the Sherman Act in many ways did serve the public good. While on some levels I respect his business acumen, it was certainly not good for a a you company to make the backroom deals that unfairly drove many entrepreneurs to ruin. Undoubtedly, one must also take into consideration the fact that the growth of industry taking place was unprecedented in human history. Never before had technology, transportation, and communications come together to allow for such exponential growth on a global scale.
Starr reported insufficient evidence of illegalities related to the Whitewater land deals. Many Americans did not believe that Clinton should be impeached because they separated his public policies from his private
Overall I disagree with this view because, even though some parts of domestic policy were successful for Henry VIII and Wolsey, most aspects of domestic policy failed. For example Wolsey used the Courts to get revenge on old enemies as well as giving justice to all people despite their status or wealth. Source 7 suggests that Wolsey was a useless chief minister and only survived because he knew how to please Henry. Source 8 agrees with source 7 but also says that he was successful in 'centralising English politics'. Source 9 was written by George Cavendish and gives a positive view of Wolsey's contribution to domestic policy.
The Environmental Protection Agency was established in 1970 under then president Richard Nixon who believed there was a need to establish a government agency that would oversee national efforts to preserve the environment. As noted by writer Jack Lewis, “The Nixon Administration, although preoccupied with an unpopular war and a recession-ridden economy, took some stopgap action on the environmental front in 1969. In May, President Nixon had set up a Cabinet-level Environmental Quality Council as well as a Citizens' Advisory Committee on Environmental Quality” (Lewis, 1985) The Nixon administration forged forward set clear parameters for the new governmental branch that would oversee everything to do with protecting our environment. As noted by Jack Lewis, “President Nixon called for "a strong, independent agency." The mission of this "Environmental Protection Agency" would be to: • Establish and enforce environmental protection standards • Conduct environmental research.
On the other hand, George W was very scrupulous as a politician. He was elected to two terms and kept his primary campaign promises: he’s cut taxes, brought his version of accountability to elementary education, massively increased funding to the military, and shrunken rights. His core voters strongly aggrandize him, and Republicans control
Many of Dr. Roy Spencer’s views I can see as very rational. His references of actual government actions better proves how the United States government tends to want to use money as a “magic pill” that will fix the cancerous economic state the country has been in for years. While I am sure that there are politician who are still concerned with the well being of the average American, Dr Spencer’s comments about the job security in politics ,without accountability for wrong doing, should open the eyes of every American that has allowed for this corruption to
It is believed he only won the election because he looked like a great leader, rather than having the qualities of one. After his death in 1923 the corruption in the presidential cabinet became evident. He is in most opinions one of the worst presidents this country ever had. Thin slicing was a bad thing in this situation because Daughtery’s immediate assumption of Harding was not thought through and Harding ended up being a very terrible candidate. Sometimes a snap judgment is incorrect and you needed to have more education on the topic before making a decision.
Liberty died in America today I'm watching the results of the mid-term election as I write this and I am afraid that freedom died in America tonight. There have simply not been enough incumbents defeated to make an impression upon the entrenched elites who control the Big Government party which runs this nation. Yes, the House of Representatives has gone over to the Republicans, but those of us who were looking for the majority of that body to be composed of new people are disappointed. Yes, some of what the liberal mainstream media has taken to calling the “Tea Party” candidates have won their races. But their numbers are few, miniscule really in comparison to the total of 435 seats that were up for grabs.
So instead they supported Ngo Dinh Diem in South Vietnam. Diem was an unpopular leader because he was accused of corruption and torture and failed to win over the peasants. Instead, popular support went to the South Vietnamese Communists, called the Vietcong. They sent in aid and increased the number of military advisers. There were supported by Ho Chi Minh, who was backed by the Soviet Union and China.
