What makes Obama a good president? Not what makes him better than a republican candidate?

You aren't really going to see different results on the large scale between Romney and Obama. The only two issues (which wouldn't even matter if people knew what the 10th Amendment was) argued between the "two" parties are gay rights and abortion. Those are states' issues.

Both Romney and Obama support war (debt), socialized medicine (debt and loss of voluntary medical treatment/insurance=loss of liberty), TARP (debt), the PATRIOT Act (not patriotic at all and a huge blow to liberty), the Fed (responsible for high food and gas prices + the ability to conduct war without congressional authorization), the utilization of the presidential executive order for unconstitutional purposes, drones, heavily policing the American people...I could go on and on. They are two sides of the same coin and both are equally dangerous. They are supported by the same corporate institutions.

As much as the media likes to proclaim Ron Paul as a crazy old man, he's incredibly smart and reasonable. He called every major economic and foreign event years before they happened because he focuses on long term effects where every other politician is looking at the short run. Research the free market system, Austrian economics, the boom-bust cycle, Keynesian economics (the policy we follow currently which will destroy our currency--essentially, it breeds monetary inflation which devalues our currency heavily) and the history of centralized banking if you really want to know what I'm talking about.

A great place to start is Bill Still's Master's of Oz documentary on the history of money, especially in central banks. Mises and Rothbard have some great works as well.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
