MASLOW'S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS VS. THE REPUBLICAN PYRAMID OFHIERARCHY OF THE GOVERNMENTHIERARCHY POLITICAL SYSTEM Maslow’s hierarchy of needs vs. the Republican pyramid of political values. You may have heard of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs. He cites five levels of growth, beginning with what a newborn infant needs and moving on to self-actualization, which is the top level of the pyramid. Maslow describes self-actualization this way: WHERE DOES US HAVE TROOPS IN AFRICA, HOW MANY, AND WHYHOW MANY TROOPS IN AFGHANISTANHOW MANY TROOPS IN BATTALIONHOW MANY TROOPS IN GERMANYHOW MANY TROOPS IN IRAQHOW MANY TROOPS IN USAHOW MANY TROOPSARE DEPLOYED

BEAUTY PAGEANTS AND POLITICS Beauty pagents and politics. It seems intuitive that beauty pageants should be distinct from politics–that we should judge our next leaders by more than appearance.

WHAT THE LEFT CAN LEARN FROM THE TEA PARTY The Tea Party saw the immediate path of least resistance through rural districts, the Left must recognize their opportunity in cities using Rep.

DEBUNKING TRUMP: HE'S AS PHONY AS THE WIZARD OF OZ SCARECROW: You humbug! There it is. Trump, like the Wizard of Oz, is a humbug. What needs to be done is to pull back the curtain to reveal the truth. He’s a pumped-up bully. Maybe the way to stop him is to break down his image as the self-proclaimed world’s best negotiator, deal-maker, rich guy, hero of the angry white male—the things ELIZABETH WARREN: CITIBANK OWNS OBAMA ADMINISTRATION Elizabeth Warren: Citibank owns Obama administration. In one of the most astonishing speeches ever given from the senate floor, progressive Democrat, Senator Elizabeth Warren, called out the Obama administration for being a wholly owned subsidiary of Citibank.
