focusing on a specific group of people. But with all that he has accomplished in his Presidency and his record as a Senator, there continues to be those that believe that he shouldn’t have been elected President in the first Place. In fact, Dick Cheney claims that Barack Obama is the worst President in history. While I don’t believe that to be the case, I also know that there are a great number of people who feel that way privately. Too bad, that so many people have allowed their prejudices…

“Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.” This is my favorite excerpt from The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli. I believe it represents everything Machiavelli believed in as a political leader. He truly believed that a ruler should be feared by the people.

Imagine being chained in a small box, naked, scared, and hungry, but you killed dozens of people in an attack you performed. Would you expect remorse? Some people believe that torture violates rights and is an all in all horrific form of treatment. On the other hand, others think that torture is great to a point when it is used correctly.
