President Clinton's Impeachment Trial: Impact Upon American Politics
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Just how irreparably has President Clinton's impeachment trial impacted American politics? Quite significantly, according to industry experts. The sexual scandal that led to the ultimate trial, say some, was not worth the heavy investment of time, money and political resources that were greedily consumed as a means by which to teach the president a lesson. After all, Clinton was hardly the first -- and will not likely be the last -- person in office to engage in extramarital activities. However, the other side believes that Clinton's personal deception translates directly to his professional career, surmising that if he can so casually commit such an offense, he would be just as capable of doing the same thing in the political arena. The writer discusses how the reputation of American politics has taken a hard beating on account of the impeachment trial. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Militia Groups: Threats Or Support?
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. As the world continues to spiral toward complete and utter eradication, there exists a select sector of the population that refuses to allow this to happen without at least a good fight.

These ordinary citizens believe the entire country -- and even the world -- is being deceived by the very bureaucracy that it is supposed to protect. They staunchly support the idea of running headlong into the bureaucratic problem, wheeling firearms and taking control, because they believe that is the only way that fraudulent government activity will ever be terminated. The writer discusses society's perception of militia groups, as well as addresses the fact that they sometimes get unfairly blamed for violent outbreaks. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
