We hope you enjoyed the fireworks and Fourth of July celebrations as much as we did. Unfortunately, we have no fun holiday to look forward to until Halloween.
Most people, if asked, would say July 4 is the birth date of our Republic. Technically they are correct, but for the founders who signed the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 was merely the birth date of an idea.
The fact is that Republicans have been obstructing everything President Obama has tried to do, and this is more the “John Boehner Economy” than the “Obama Economy.”
Many Republicans and conservatives have expressed the sentiment that Obamacare constitutes a takeover of the health care industry by the government.
On June 28, everyone on Facebook suddenly became U.S. Constitution wizards. Experts from the far right to the extreme left spouted their professional opinions and quoted the document like a Shakespearean scholar quotes Hamlet.
It marks the film company’s first fairytale female protagonist and period piece. The main character, Merida, must undo a curse using her skill sets: bravery and archery.
As I end my time at UF, I would like to say the following words to my fellow Gainesvillians:
Two misguided columns that appeared in the June 14th edition of the Alligator demonstrate the perverse anti-government ideology that is consuming many of our young people, at the expense of reason.
Well, it’s the end of Summer A, which means the Alligator will be on break next week. However, we have a lot to cover this week, so sit tight, relax and prepare for our document-withholding-amnesty-granting-substance-banning-cancer-curing-animal-crashing-studio-bashing edition of...
I’ve been a student senator since the last student government elections in spring, and one thing has been made abundantly clear in my short time in the Student Senate: the Unite Party doesn’t like being told that they’re wrong or that they’re corrupt and incompetent or even that you want to amend one of their bills to be grammatically correct.
Well, I’m just going to come right out and say it. President Obama is arguably the worst president in American history. Never have the American people been sold such a bill of goods as they have with this man.
When you were in high school, did you ever visit the school nurse only to be told that they couldn’t give you any medication?
On Friday, President Barack Obama announced that the U.S. government would grant work permits and halt the deportation of about 800,000 dreamers.
This week, it’s all about recognition. We’ll be recognizing outstanding students. We’ll be recognizing outstanding organizations. We’ll be recognizing fun Gainesville events.
No one denies that the philosophical divide between Americans on the political left and right has only grown sharper in recent years. Bitter resentment and contempt for those of opposing views is commonplace. It often seems that the stronger the convictions or the more awareness one has of political issues, the more fervently one tends to see others as opponents.
It would be an understatement to say that last week’s Board of Trustees meetings were eventful.
Like any modern society, we depend on schools to help us navigate through life. Our education is paramount to our ability to reason, and we apply our knowledge to help us solve problems. However, a couple of months ago a stark realization hit me — in every country, even in the U.S., a certain level of propaganda exists within our curriculum.
There’s a certain level of danger in mentioning anything on the Internet. One link falls into the hands of the wrong person and before you know it, innocent pictures or comments get turned into giant jokes.
Well, this week was certainly more tame than last week.
One of the really stimulating things about writing this column is the fact that I receive scathing critiques from people of differing views on everything from my thoughts and ideas to my personal character and anything else imaginable. Every now and then, somebody puts forth something so ripe for exposition that I can’t resist a response.
