How does one evaluate the truthfulness, the correctness of a philosophical view? Let me propose to you that science, because it is based on a rigorous investigation using empirical methods that actually attempt to answer questions without bias is the correct method.
The Arab nations suffer from a philosophy that binds religion and politics.
A research was published in 2014 that concludes that the United States is being run by an economic elite. And you thought it was a democracy.

Looking at Politico application on my cell phone March 5, 2014, I was confused by reading that the United States did not expect that Putin would make a move into the Crimea.

The Tea Party claims that the United States is a superpower due to our free market economy. What a simpleton idea. We are a great nation due to a whole host of other factors that lay as a foundation.

The real, unmentioned, story is that the people at home who voted these congress people into office are really to blame. It is the people in the heart land of the United States, the red states that seem to be rather dim for a whole host of reasons. The oligarchs use of political action groups like the Tea Party…
