ANOTHER weekend, another grass-roots demonstration starring Real Americans who are mad as hell and want to take back their country from you-know-who. Last Sunday the site was Lower Manhattan, where they jeered the “ground zero mosque.” This weekend, the scene shifted to Washington, where the avatars of oppressed white Tea Party America, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, were slated to “reclaim the civil rights movement” (Beck’s words) on the same spot where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had his dream exactly 47 years earlier. Vive la révolution! There’s just one element missing from these snapshots of America’s ostensibly spontaneous and leaderless ...

At a recent gathering of the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States, thousands join in Jewish/Israeli dancing and singing, cheerily wave Israeli flags, speak a fair amount of Hebrew, and express a great love for all Jews. They also praise Jesus, baptize their children, and cite the New Testament, because they're evangelical Christians.The potential impact of Christian Zionism in the coming years is hard to overstate. Christians United for Israel claims more than 400,000 members—and as the Jewish Telegraph Agency noted, that's just "the largest organization representing what are believed to be tens of millions conservative evangelical Christians who support ...
Why Are Palin, Gingrich, and Fox News Doing Bin Laden's Work?

I have been told by Fox commentators Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich that to be a good American I should detest Muslims. After all, it was Muslims from Saudi Arabia who steered the airplanes into the Pentagon and the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001. And now they want to build a mosque at ground zero! But by their own logic, shouldn't I detest Palin and Gingrich? After all, they work for Muslims. It's true. A Saudi royal prince is, after Rupert Murdoch and his family, the second largest investor in NewsCorp., the company that runs Fox News, employs Palin and Gingrich and Glenn Beck and which recently gave a million dollar donation to the Republican Party. That's right: the same ...

Aug. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Thirty-six years ago, the director of the liberal Republican House caucus urged me to see a promising young congressional candidate from Georgia; reluctantly, I did. That was Newt Gingrich. He didn’t disappoint. Bright, energetic, effusive, he spent a couple of hours extolling the need to transform his party, embracing the anti-Richard Nixon progressive Republican governor of Virginia, Linwood Holton, as a role model and civil rights as a central cause. It took him two more elections to finally prevail. It wasn’t much longer before Holton and civil rights were in his rear-view mirror. This flashed back as the remarkably durable Gingrich leads the protests ...

Tea Party, Conservatives Revere Constitution (Except When They Don't)

The Constitution has been a frequent rallying cry at Republican and Tea Party events this summer. If you ask Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle, Rand Paul and other conservative politicians, defending that sacred document written by the founders and amended by the people of the United States of America, is No. 1 on their national agenda. Except when it isn't. For instance, there's wiggle room on that 14th Amendment -- the one adopted after the Civil War to guarantee citizenship to blacks and anyone born on U.S. soil. (it also says the Bill of Rights must be upheld by state and local governments, and requires equal protection of all people.) Some conservatives now want to amend the ...

After Abraham Foxman waded into the “Ground Zero Mosque” controversy, opposing [1] plans to construct an Islamic community center a few blocks from the World Trade Center site, the Anti-Defamation League chief was assailed by critics who charged that the ADL was giving license to bigotry and betraying its historic mission “to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike.” A week after initially coming out against the mosque, Foxman announced that the ADL was bowing out of the controversy, but the damage to the group’s reputation had been done. The problem for the ADL is that there simply isn’t much anti-Semitism of consequence in the United States ...

While America's super-rich congratulate themselves on donating billions to charity, the rest of the country is worse off than ever. Long-term unemployment is rising and millions of Americans are struggling to survive. The gap between rich and poor is wider than ever and the middle class is disappearing. Ventura is a small city on the Pacific coast, about an hour's drive north of Los Angeles. Luxury homes with a view of the ocean dot the hillsides, and the beaches are popular with surfers.

I rarely use the phrase “thinking conservatives” anymore, since there seem to be so few left. But there are still a handful, and one of them has written an enlightening piece about the idiotic kerfuffle over the Burlington Coat Factory mosque in Lower Manhattan. Writing in a conservative Washington newspaper called the Washington Examiner, libertarian Gene Healy argues that the dust-up is a distraction so that conservative voters won’t notice that Republicans don’t want to do the hard and unpopular work of cutting spending. Healy, a vice-president at the libertarian Cato Institute, writes: The “mosque” controversy isn’t about property rights or ...

Glenn Beck may hate socialism and communism, but he showed he shares a materialistic worldview with Marx, Engels and Saul Alinsky in a recent conversation with Bill O'Reilly. O'Reilly and Beck were discussing a ruling by an openly homosexual judge overturning the will of California voters who approved Proposition 8, a statewide ballot measure prohibiting same-sex marriage. O'Reilly: "Do you believe that gay marriage is a threat to the country in any way?" Beck: "A threat to the country?" O'Reilly: "Yeah, is it going to harm it in anyway?" Beck: "No, I don't. Will the gays come and get us?" O'Reilly: "No, OK. Is it ...

Decision Time for Israel on Bombing Iran?

The Obama administration gave Russia permission to deliver the fuel rods for Iran’s Bushehr nuclear reactor in return for their support for U.N. sanctions. The Russians have announced they will begin the process on August 21 and Iran will begin operating the reactor in mid-September. In making this concession to Russia, the U.S. is forcing Israel to decide within one week if they will bomb the site before it is impossible to do so because of the radioactive fallout it would cause. Former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton is warning that Israel must immediately decide between accepting a nuclear weapons-capable Iran or a military strike. He noted that in Israel’s previous ...
Why the Mosque Scares the Right

There's a cynical reason that people like Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin don't want a mosque built at ground zero, writes M.J. Akbar—it will prove that there's nothing scary about Islam. Can there be any rational reason for such subliminal fear of a house without a door? A mosque has no door; it is always open to anyone. Submission is the guiding force of its spirit and simplicity is its objective. There is equality in the lines of prayer. Servant stands beside master to bow, and at the same moment, before the Lord. Divisions and pretensions dissipate. The whole world, as the great Indian theologian and mass leader Maulana Abul Kalam Azad used to say, is God’s mosque. ...

Speaking out on the proposed mosque at ground zero may be politically unpopular or perhaps costly in the short term, but in the end it makes him a president worthy of respect, says Mark McKinnon. President Obama made the right call on the proposed mosque in New York City. Of course he should have spoken out on this issue. And of course he should have done it now. This is the job of presidents. To provide leadership on issues that tear at our moral fabric. To point the way when the winds of controversy whip in every direction. It would have be politically safer for Obama to say nothing. This is a 30-70 issue in terms of support, so he had a lot to lose by speaking out. This was not a ...

A post by “Washington-based foreign affairs analyst and political commentator” Nile Gardiner in Britain’s Daily Telegraph caught my eye recently. The headline aptly describes Gardiner's thesis: “The stunning decline of Barack Obama: 10 key reasons why the Obama presidency is in meltdown.” I’m less interested here in the 10 key reasons Gardiner promulgates, although a number of them are conjectures rather than evidence-based. I’m more interested at the moment in Gardiner’s premise about Obama’s “stunning decline” (he also calls it a "meltdown," "Titanic-like," and "spectacular political collapse"), in ...

A Campaign For War With Iran Begins

If neocons can't get Obama to attack Iran, they are creating a narrative so the next Republican president will By Trita Parsi Salon Obama administration officials, as well as U.S. lawmakers and European diplomats, passionately made the argument this spring that tough sanctions on Iran were necessary to avoid war. But contrary to their predictions, the drumbeat for war -- particularly from Israel – has only increased since the U.N. Security Council adopted a new resolution against Tehran in June. The latest in this crescendo of voices is Jeffrey Goldberg’s article in the Atlantic, "Point of No Return." As the title suggests, it essentially makes the ...

The treatment of workers by American corporations has been worse — far more treacherous — than most of the population realizes. There was no need for so many men and women to be forced out of their jobs in the downturn known as the great recession. Many of those workers were cashiered for no reason other than outright greed by corporate managers. And that cruel, irresponsible, shortsighted policy has resulted in widespread human suffering and is doing great harm to the economy. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Andrew Sum, an economics professor and director of the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University in Boston.

The only strategy they have left is personal attacks. The Democratic strategy in the 2010 election is simple: Change the subject. And given the subject on everyone’s mind, who can blame them? That subject is the economy and related matters like spending, the deficit, debt, and President Obama. These are the last things Democrats want to talk about. Instead they’d like to reduce each race for the House and Senate to the personal level. Their aim is to emphasize the individual flaws of Republican candidates. In the Democratic game plan, the economy and national issues are taboo. This microstrategy is one of pure desperation. It’s all that’s left when macro-political ...

Riding a record of unprecedented government spending, rising debt, a government takeover of the health-care system, high unemployment, and proposals to tax everything they stumble across, Democrats have put themselves in position for an epic electoral defeat that will rival the Republican debacles of 2006 and 2008. Given this record of Democratic ineptitude and the voters’ reaction to it, one would think that Republicans would be talking about these issues every day. Instead, Republicans and conservatives have spent recent weeks talking about such distracting side-issues as immigration, the 14th amendment, gay marriage, and when and where mosques should be built.

Zionism is a thorn in the world’s side. Like all forms of politico-religious collective extremism, it is deceptive, cruel, and arrogantly self-righteous. Zionists have overstayed their welcome in the Middle East by about fifty years, and the longer they remain in power the worse off Israel, the Middle East, and the world will be. And they are not going anywhere, nor will they pursue a new policy, so it naturally falls on the injured party to remove a thorn from its side, and since America has the most powerful arm in the world, it must be the one to pull it out from the world’s side, and stop the bleeding. How should this thorn be removed? Strong international pressure on Israel ...
"What would Reagan do" about unemployment? Answer: Reagan raised taxes
Post Date: 2010-08-11 00:51:28 by Brian S

In an op-ed headlined "Unemployment: What Would Reagan Do?" American Enterprise Institute vice president Henry Olsen stated: "There is only one instance since World War II of the U.S economy increasing the employment-population ratio by five percentage points in a decade: the recovery that followed Ronald Reagan's tax cuts in 1983." In fact, Congress passed the Reagan tax cuts in 1981, and economists say it did not lead the nation out of recession. In 1983, Reagan actually raised taxes to shore up Social Security. Olsen's underlying argument is essentially a regurgitation of right-wing talking points: the Obama administration's policies are misguided and ...
The Permanent War System Rolls On; Serial Denial on Iraq and Afghanistan

Two months ago, I wrote that the Obama administration and the U.S. command in Afghanistan faced an “Iraq 2006 moment” in the second half of 2010 – a collapse of domestic political support for a failed war paralleling the political crisis in Bush’s Iraq War in 2006. Now comes Republican Congressman Frank Wolf to make that parallel with 2006 eerily precise. Wolf published a letter to President Obama last week calling for the immediate establishment of an “Afghanistan-Pakistan Study Group”. It would be the son of the Iraq Study Group. Wolf is the Congressman who authored the legislation in 2005 creating the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group ...
