Collin Peterson predicts the end of the MCCL

Posted on December 3, 2012 by Kate Engstrom

Collin Peterson Predicts The End of the MCCL It’s not often a Congressman publicly calls organizations which previously endorsed him “extremists.” Tuesday, however, when noted Democratic candidates Collin Peterson, Al Franken, Kent Eken, and Ben Lien came to speak to Concordia, Mr. Peterson became one such anomaly. Collin Peterson, Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District Representative, has…

Guest post: Cobbers care about voting

Posted on December 3, 2012 by Jacob Amos

Guest Post: Cobbers care about voting The current generation of college students has often been criticized for their lack of political involvement. However, a recent survey conducted at Concordia College reveals that Concordia students not only believe that voting is important, but that they believe their votes matter in the upcoming presidential election. In the…

The reality of presidential elections

Posted on December 3, 2012 by Adam Twardowski

This year, like many years, the two presidential candidates provide American voters not with a decision about who might be the best man for the job, but rather who would be the less worse option. Indeed, it is often the case that presidential elections amount to little more than an agonizing guessing game about which…

The rationale of getting high

Posted on December 3, 2012 by Emma Connell

This November, voters in Colorado, Washington, and Oregon will be voting on ending marijuana prohibition in those states. Marijuana, alcohol, and cigarettes would then be similarly regulated. This addition to the ballot in those states shows that people feel that the legalization of marijuana should be looked into—and it’s just a matter of time before…

Round two

Posted on December 3, 2012December 3, 2012 by Jon-Erik Nelson

Much like the first debate, Wednesday night’s presidential debate, the second of the election season, drew an audience of more than 65 million viewers. Unlike the first debate, however, Wednesday night featured two men who appeared to be awake. In reality the differences between the first debate and the most recent one are much starker…

Down to brass tacks

Posted on December 3, 2012 by Jon-Erik Nelson

In conversations with Republicans and conservatives, one common response when they are asked about the economic woes facing this country has to do with the rapidly expanding deficits and the national debt. To begin, it’s first important to understand exactly what these terms mean. A deficit is when the government spends more money than it…

A lesson in liberty

Posted on December 3, 2012 by Kate Engstrom

Welfare or liberty? The decision marks an unfortunate choice the American government routinely makes for its citizens. More unfortunate still is that America’s leaders fail to ask themselves a necessary question: Why not choose both? “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,…

The repression of choice

Posted on December 3, 2012 by Emma Connell

The campaign of 2012 has been justly focused on the terrible economy and the creation of new jobs. However, because of the focus on this issue alone, the election has been markedly devoid of talk on “women’s issues”. Even though a certain Vice Presidential candidate has voted against the ability for women to make health…

Silence is no solution

Posted on December 3, 2012 by Jon-Erik Nelson

Wednesday night was the first of three Presidential debates. I was intending for this installment to focus on the performances of each of the candidates, their relative strengths and weaknesses, and so on. In watching last nights proceedings, however, I couldn’t help but notice with not a small measure of disappointment that throughout the ninety…

The decline of American power

Posted on December 3, 2012 by Adam Twardowski

Last week this column explored the phenomenon of China’s recent rise to power and how this is presently changing the nature of the international system. While readers will be directed to that piecefor a better understanding of what precisely China’s emergence as a central global power means for China, what still needs to be better understood…
