Presidential Debate 2012 Tuesday’s debate was punchy between President Obama and Mitt Romney. The debate opened with testy exchanges on energy in which the president accused Romney of ignoring renewable power. But Romney, too, attacked Obama for allowing over rising gasoline prices and faking support for fossil fuels. What was out of the ordinary was that, in the last Presidential Debate, Romney had been the aggressor while Obama was calm and not as irritated. In my personal opinion, I think Obama showed that he can lead the U.S. even in crucial times and that he will fight for us and still manage to keep a positive attitude.
Rhetorical Essay Michael Moore makes a clear proclamation in his excerpt “Idiot Nation” that America’s education system is drastically failing. Although America is the richest country, education has become less and less of a priority. Not only does Moore state the issue but he also explains ways we can resolve the situation and put the country back on top. Moore uses a plethora of different persuasive and rhetorical strategies to get his audience to understand his claim on the issue. One of the most unique rhetorical strategies he uses is belittling the public figures of the nation.
Kaitlynn Curtis A Neo-Classical Criticism of President John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address On January 20, 1961, President John F. Kennedy, stood in front of the United States Capital building and delivered his inaugural speech. During this time of JFK election the U.S was fighting in the Cold War. Kennedy wanted to get America moving economically again, he wanted to lessen poverty in the U.S. as he had promised in his campaign.

I will discuss three topics areas that will demonstrate the context for the artifact: JFK as a rhetor, the occasions on which the rhetoric was presented and the audience to whom the rhetoric was addressed.
"[iii] He makes his argument that the A bombs saved American lives, thus are morale. Paul Fussell acknowledges arguments against the dropping of the bomb, such as John Kenneth Galbraith’s “The A-bombs meant, he says, "a difference, at most, of two or three weeks''”[iv] and discredits them with two reoccurring methods. Firstly he appeals to the readily created sentiment of empathy for American soldiers “Two weeks more means 14,000 more killed and wounded, […]Those weeks mean the world if you're one of those thousands or related to one of them.”[v] Secondly he asserts the need for firsthand experience in analyzing the morality of the use of the bomb, “the farther from the scene of horror, the easier the talk.”[vi], “But what's at stake in an infantry assault is so entirely unthinkable to those without
This claim can be supported by the Debs v. United States case, which took time during World War I. Eugene V Debs held a speech praising those who refused to serve in the military and obstructed recruitment - as a result he was sentenced ten years in prison. By Eugene holding his speech he is showing support for the enemy. Justice Katelyn asked a question regarding the Cohen v. California case in which a boy was protected by his First Amendment rights for wearing a shirt that said “stop the draft.” The question was directed towards United States attorneys Jacob Gore and Tyler Kerwin; the question presented was “If Paul Cohen was protected by his First Amendment rights for expressing his feelings against the draft, how does it differ from Charles Schenk expressing his feelings against the draft via social media?” Once again, United States attorneys disregarded the question and searched for loopholes to avoid a solid

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 near Hodgenville, Kentucky. As a child, he was a bibliophile. The white house took in his wife, and two young sons, because one of them had pasted away. His political party was Republican serving only two terms, as he was assassinated on April 15, 1865.

Journalist Daniel Flynn, Author of A Conservative History of the American Left, Why the Left Hates America: Exposing the Lies That Have Obscured Our Nation's Greatness, and Intellectual Morons: How Ideology Makes Smart People Fall for Stupid Ideas[Flynnfiles.com], points out the bias and assumption in Zinn’s work in his article “Howard Zinn’s Biased History” of the History News Network[Flynn]. And while Flynn may seem a little radical, he does make a fair point when he notices how Zinn demeans our founding fathers noble and historical actions to a greed filled angle created souly to benefit the upper class by
Tragedy & Fare Based on James Madison’s quote, “A popular Government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to Farce or a Tragedy or perhaps both,” authors John Nichols and Robert W. McChesney follow this principle throughout their book, Tragedy & Farce. Published in 2005, Tragedy & Farce is about the changing culture of journalism resulting in war, unfair elections, and the destruction of democracy. The author’s point of view is first person as he narrates the entire book. He uses quotes from interview segments from multiple sources including controversial congressmen and television anchors. The author’s thesis is the revival of democracy-sustaining journalism made up of three components.
