It is our belief that Theodore Roosevelt is the finest man ever to serve in the Executive Office Of The President since the dawn of the Republic. Yet our favorite has always been Richard M. Nixon. We say that merely as the villain that you love but hate. Yet the Presidency of Nixon is instructive [...]
The political season is in full swing, and this season is one that stands out already as one for the books. Politics and history are the twin passions of The Sunshine Empire, so in the vein of our All Time Top Tens, we would like to present The Sunshine Empire Political Reader. Our [...]
