Happy Thanksgiving from the Tiger Town Observer. We feel that we have much to be thankful for. For starters, Ron Paul visited Clemson University. Some of our staff rejoiced. Some, not so much. In a TTO impromptu/unofficial show-of-hands poll, most staff members are in support of Mike Huckabee, with the good Doctor Paul coming in a close second.… 2 Comments

Dear Pat Robertson, I am writing to sincerely thank you for being such a senile old imbecile. So senile, in fact, that you've actually come out in support of Rudy Giuliani for President of these United States. It really puts my mind at ease to know that as spiritual leader of one of the most weighty voting blocs in the nation, you're either a) egregiously misinformed, or b) you've overdosed on Centrum Silver and it's now eroding your mental wherewithal.… Post the First Comment

A few weeks ago, New York state and national politics erupted when Democratic governor Eliot Spitzer proposed a plan that would require state administrators to give driver's licenses to illegal alien applicants. Court clerks balked at the idea and some threatened open defiance by refusal to comply with the law if it were passed.… Post the First Comment

During October 22- 27, The Tiger Town Observer hosted Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week. Islam is different from all other religions, and not necessarily in a good way. Liberals in America have convinced themselves that all cultures and religions, with the exception of Christianity, are equal.… 2 Comments

The Declaration of Independence states "…all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." The Founding Fathers believed in people's rights to live without fear of death, to live free without fear of oppression, and to have the right to pursue (but not being guaranteed) happiness.… Post the First Comment

With all the attention garnered by Ron Paul and Fred Thompson lately, I feel that the most solid candidate for president is being unfairly ignored. Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is a proven leader with audaciously sane ideas, and should be seriously considered by anyone who subscribes to conservative ideals.… 6 Comments

Congressman Ron Paul spoke at the amphitheater outside of the Strom Thurmond Institute at Clemson University on November 2 as part of his South Carolina presidential campaign tour. At the afternoon gathering, Congressman Paul talked about the ideas that have made him a popular candidate among college students and young people, many of whom Paul took the time afterwards to meet with, sign autographs, and pose for pictures.… Post the First Comment

One of my favorite campaign strategies thus far from any of the Republican frontrunners is John McCain's "If you won't vote for me on my platform… vote for me on my MOMMY'S platform.", which, incidentally, could work out favorably for him. A change of strategy is clearly overdue in the McCain camp.… Post the First Comment

Neoconservatism is the ideology that dominates the conservative movement today. With President Bush and his administration subscribing to it, the Republican congressmen supporting it, and the political pundits defending it, neocons have become the poster boys for the right wing.… 2 Comments

The Iowa state government recently gave their citizens quite a surprise this year when they decided to revise their state Revenue Department's policy on sales tax exemptions. In their infinite wisdom (and undoubtedly for the public welfare), the Revenue Department concluded that pumpkins, which for years have been exempt from the state sales tax because they were considered an "edible squash," are now used primarily by consumers for "decoration" and not "human consumption" and are subject to the 6% state sales tax.… Post the First Comment

In case you missed it or perhaps misunderstood the meaning of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, a dose of Mike S. Adams will do you some good. Understanding Adams is a unique task as he is a "reformed liberal atheist Democrat." But to hear the man speak will stoke the constitutional fires within.… 1 Comment

Ann Coulter is the epitome, in many liberals' eyes, of conservatism in the United States. Pro-life, anti-gay marriage, pro-free market, and very much outspoken- could conservatives ask for a better voice? Yes. As conservatives we can and should ask for someone else other than Ann Coulter.… Post the First Comment

It is finally here, the week I have been waiting for all semester: Clemson-Carolina Blood Drive Week. For anyone that hasn't met me before, I am one of the biggest advocates that you will probably ever meet for giving blood. If I could skip all of my classes this week so I could take people that haven't given blood before and need someone to go with to the blood drive, I would (and probably will).… Post the First Comment

Lately, I have been kind of bummed out. It's that time of the semester when you figure out if you're going to make it out of your classes alive or not. The part that is bumming me out the most are the grades, which causes a lot of other areas of my life to go down as well.… Post the First Comment

People can rely on two things in life, death and taxes. Now at least one of them can be fair. Promoters of the FairTax propose a new plan that would replace all federal income and payroll based taxes with a different type of progressive tax. This would allow all workers, both salaried and hourly, to take home all of the money they make.… Post the First Comment

The spectacular panoramic vistas greeting visitors to San Diego, California, include two prominently placed Christian crosses, one atop Mt. Soledad in the City of San Diego, the other atop Mt. Helix which can be viewed outside the City of La Mesa in San Diego County.… Post the First Comment
