Justice Everyday |
|
[From DefCon America, January 6, 2006]
By Chip Berlet
There is tragic irony in the Christian Right’s Justice Sunday
extravaganza occurring the week before the national celebration of the
birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice was a theme King returned to time and
time again.

Wrong About the Right |
|
[From The Nation, November 7, 2005]
By Jean Hardisty and Deepak Bhargava
Many progressive donors and organizations say the Left should emulate the tactics that brought the Right to power. Only problem is that many of their ideas of that rise are incomplete and at worst misleading.

A Message from Political Research Associates
November 17th, 2004
The presidential election of 2004 will keep political analysts sorting out its real meaning for some time. Many people have focused on trying to figure out why John Kerry lost. More to the point, from PRA's perspective, is how and why did George W. Bush win? We already have seen many interpretations of the exit polls. Most common is the idea that voting patterns indicate a polarized electorate with a major split over moral issues like gay marriage and abortion. Is the electorate really so neatly divided into Red and Blue states as the mainstream media and the pundits tend to portray it? And are these the real issues that drove the election? |

October 27th, 2004
When I hear Condoleezza Rice defending the war in Iraq I think
of her father denouncing the war in Vietnam. Condi's dad was a Dean in the
college of liberal arts at the University of Denver in the early 1970s when
I was editor of the student newspaper, the Clarion. His name was John Rice, but no student
dared call him that. He was an imposing figure, and we all called him "Dean" Rice. |

Liberal State, Libertarian Policies
|
|
|
By Paul Dunphy and Nikhil Aziz
A handful of conservative ideologues, closely aligned with a local libertarian think tank, are dominating every aspect of Massachusetts' education policy and pushing an agenda of privatization that is driving up costs even while weakening public oversight. And they are getting away with it largely unquestioned. |
