American links
Using The Godfather as a metaphor for the options for American foreign policy. (It's clever, but seems to be a bit of an example of the moral obtuseness foreign policy realists are often criticised for.) A nice critique of a neocon intellectual with a poor analytical record. An elegant response to criticism.
The District of Columbia is settling a lawsuit alleging that it took Federal grant money for non-existent students.
There may be a few legal, even constitutional questions, about the sweep that removed 437 children from their parents. You think? Arguing against polygamy.
Save us from complete fools: He also told WIMS radio in Michigan City that he didn't believe the event he attended included people necessarily of the Nazi mindset, pointing out the name isn't Nazi, but Nationalist Socialist Workers Party.
The Crown Point Republican spoke in front of about 56 "white activists" at an event honoring the birth of Hitler.
Laws to regulate campaign contributions have become another way to attack freedom of speech and association: One proponent of annexation sued them. This tactic -- wielding campaign finance regulations to suppress opponents' speech -- is common in the America of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. The complaint did not just threaten the Parker Six for any "illegal activities." It also said that anyone who had contacted them or received a lawn sign might be subjected to "investigation, scrutinization and sanctions for campaign finance violations."
The First Amendment guarantees freedom of association, "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." The exercise of this right often annoys governments, and the Parker Six did not know that Colorado's government, perhaps to discourage annoyances, stipulates that when two or more people associate to advocate a political position, and spend more than $200 in doing so, they become an "issue committee." Then there are attempts to use local ordnances to attack use of political signs.
When the NYT’s attacks on McCain are this easy to mock, perhaps they need to get out more.
Is Obama a political Rorschach test? When one gets arguments like this, one hopes that the Democrats have a good hard look at their nominating procedures.
