Here we are - Barak Obama made very clear where he stood on the issues during an almost two year presidential candidacy and he has made abundantly and consistently clear on his stands - not to mention his performance - in the almost four years of his presidency. Mitt Romney has run for president twice. He has been talking about the various issues of our day, in the national media, for almost six years. After all of that, how can anyone not know enough about either man to have not made a voting decision yet?
The Purple Rooster
An objective place for all "colors" of political perspectives and philosophies to engage in calm, respectful, informed, and creative conversations about how best to face America's greatest challenges and solve her most daunting problems. (I call this the "Purple Rooster" because I believe America is in desperate need of a wake-up call from purple America - or what some call the "sensible center" of American politics.)

What We ALL Must Do to Save Our Country - Part I
Many people talk about what it will take to turn our country
around. The great majority of the time,
their answers are so politically-correct, so “safe”, so accusatory of “them” -

so short-term in perspective that they
are virtually worthless.

21st Century America: Echoes of 5th Century Rome?
The English historian Edward Gibbon’s classic work, The History of the Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire, chronicled the factors that led to the fall of the Roman Empire.

Are You Ready to Become Part of America's Next "Greatest Generation"?
Fellow countrymen and women, I am sure you are as tired of the never-ending blue versus red political argument as I am. It is always about "us versus them"; "they are the devil incarnate"; "their president has sinister designs on the future of our country";
