Metaphor, analogy, allegory, they’re very similar. What is the best metaphor for american politics that you can think of? 10 points for most clever.

A car.

The liberals are the gas pedal. Without the gas pedal, we’d never go anywhere.

What is the best way to venture into politics?

Posted by admin on May 29th, 2010 and filed under politics | 2 Comments »

I am a Republican-conservative(political only) and am interested in getting into politics. I do not want to be Governor or anything, but I do live in a Capital city.

I do want to make a difference and have my voice heard.

How does power and authority relate to politics and the economy?

Posted by admin on May 20th, 2010 and filed under politics | 2 Comments »

Define power and authority, and discuss their differences, similarities, and variations. How does each term relate to politics and the economy? Be sure to give clear examples for each point made.

Power is the ability to control or influence. Authority is the power given to one to be able to control or influence.

As a teacher,l I have the ability to control or influence a child in my classroom; but that authority is granted me through the local school board, administrative personnel, and parents.

Those who serve at the behest of the American people have the ability to control or influence the citizens of the United States; but, the President of the United States has the authority to say "no".
