University of Wisconsin-Madison senior Joe Diedrich changed his conservative political views to embrace the independent, Libertarian party in his later high school years, when he said he realized the Bush administration’s continued shipment of U.S. soldiers and supplies to fuel warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan “didn’t make any sense.”
Around seventy-five campus community members filled the Memorial Union’s Great Hall on Tuesday to discuss issues with proposed changes to the University of Wisconsin-Madison personnel plan.
If Anderson Cooper’s eyes were a city, they would be Madison. This city is about as full of liberals as it is drunk people. I think it’s important however that we maintain perspective by exposing ourselves to conservative viewpoints. To do this, I make sure to always read the work of my fellow Daily Cardinal opinion writer Steven Nemcek. Last week he wrote on why he believes Gary Johnson is the best choice for president. After reading this piece and doing some more research, I was rather impressed with Gov. Johnson. As a liberal, I do not agree with him on everything, but he does seem admirably devoted to social progress and quite capable of dealing with our economic situation. The man appears to be a very reasonable choice to lead our country. That is why I am asking everyone to not vote for Gary Johnson.
Following an extremely controversial year of politics revolving around unions’ collective bargaining rights, a much more public battle of union rights has erupted in America’s beloved professional sports leagues. As many already know, a few weeks ago the NFL finally came to an agreement on union negotiations for the referees. What was originally a lockout based on the refs’ pension plans quickly snowballed into a widespread pro-union call to action as fans across the country, ironically including our union-busting governor, showed their support for the locked-out officials. To everyone’s relief, the “real” refs were brought back following one of the most controversial calls of the season that led many Wisconsinites to officially disown former Badger Russell Wilson.
Last week I wrote an article bashing President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney, and I characterized them as center-right fascists with so much policy overlap as to be almost farcical. Almost. I promised I would write about an alternative candidate, one who is also on the ballot in 47 states, with the exception of Oklahoma, Michigan and Pennsylvania. In those last three states, challenges are currently in place to put him on the ballot. This man’s name is Gary Johnson. In my mind, he is the only qualified candidate running for the office of the presidency, and he is certainly the most rational.
Oh leap year, I remember when you were so cool. We got that extra day, I celebrated my friend Bryce’s rare birthday (he’s 5 now) and we spent a whole year making frog jokes (well we did when I was in the third grade). But now that I’ve turned 20 years, Leap Years are only synonymous with one thing: the presidential election. And oh my God I am tired of it.
