Major Link Dump

[hebrewhammer777]

Behind the lj-cut are a bunch of links that I've been holding onto for a while now, waiting for some free time when I could turn them into full posts. Instead, they're simply adding to a very long list of "things to do" that are mentally and emotionally sapping my strength. It's literally been building up for YEARS. So instead of a dozen different posts, I offer you a cholent of topics in one giant post:

Faith and the Founding Fathers

I wanted to post an entry on the Founding Fathers and their faith, since that was a topic that someone had brought up. I never really got around to writing it, though I did research the subject. Here's some of what I found:

G-d and our Founding Fathers
Michael Novak on FF faith
NR June 5th edition (sorry, I don't have a link to this article)
NR: GW's faith (March or April? No link here either)
NRO interview with Richard Brookhiser on his book What Would the Founders Do (I read it; it's a great book!)
David Klinghoffer on politics and religion (he discusses the Founders in part of his article)

Here's a great sampling of articles by Jonah Goldberg:
-on immigration & drugs
-Defense of elitism (more on this subject from Rod Dreher, David Brooks, etc.)
-Nation-building
-International relations
-Media/internet
-Process vs. results
- This was an idea Goldberg had for the War in Iraq a year ago this month
-Right, Left and Isolationism (Best quote: "What liberals call isolationism when criticizing the right, they dub wisdom when describing their own policies. Conversely, when liberals go marching around the globe, it's internationalism and idealism. When conservatives do, it's imperialism and war for oil.")
-This one is a lot of fun: Goldberg FAQs

Presidential Candidates:

Romney's health care plan

McCain & guns

Giuliani for School Choice!!! And nuclear plants!! (The NYP link isn't working so here's a different link to at least part of the article... let me know if you can find the whole thing)

(Goldberg) "No serious person disputes that abortion kills something. The debate is over what it kills, and who gets to decide."

Liberaltarians
The following links concern a possible "liberaltarian" movement of liberals and libertarians. I don't think it will work.

From here onward, I've decided to indulge in laziness. I'm just going to post exactly what I had without trying to spruce it up as I did above. Good luck.
