It is okay to deny that all we are and all we have built means something. Political ButtonsPolitical success depends on reaching out to the masses. What better way is there to be in the public eye than to feature on buttons – one of the most commonplace, everyday objects? So a century back our political leaders had the brilliant idea of using buttons for their election campaigns. George Washington gets the credit for wearing the first political button in 1789 which read ‘G.W. Long Live the President’ replicating the expression ‘Long live the king’. All his supporters also wore the same clothing button made of brass on his first inauguration. Another landmark in the history of political buttons came when for the first time in 1860 the tintype and ferrotype photo process was used to put Abraham Lincoln’s picture on political buttons during his presidential campaign. It was because of these buttons that people who lived away from the capital could see what the presidential candidate looked like. These buttons were worn around the neck with help of a ribbon. McKinley vs. Bryan campaign in 1896 marked the first use of the campaign buttons as we know them today – metallic with printed picture and slogan and pin at the back.

Is the US Government Incompetent and Worthless?Some say the United States Government is Worthless and they often add in the words Corrupt and or Incompetent.

How so you ask? Gaddafy and PanAfricanist RevolutionMany people get "wiser" as they get older. However, I am sorry to say, that glib get-out does not apply here. I was all for it at the time. With hindsight, with all that's gone on, with thousands of people dead or maimed, it is easy for me to say that none of it should have happened.

US Congress Neglecting Duty on Military Research; Quite Sickening IndeedThe United States Congress and the congressman and women are too busy worrying about getting re-elected than the future of our nation and these politicians are weak and unable to get past the linear thought of politics.
