• What a Left-Wing Presidency Looks Like

  
  Mirror On America — Authority: 139
  Hat tip to the Open Left blog for first alerting me to this item. The American right wing’s accusations of President Barack Obama and his policies as Socialist has always baffled me.

• Obama’s Failed Presidency

  
  Just Above Sunset — Authority: 424
  It seems so long ago but you might remember – in the last weeks of his presidency, George Bush (the second one) reverted to type. With the world’s economy collapsing around him and the two wars he started early in his first term getting nowhere, and without much sense of where “where” was or what it might be, ...

• War Tax A Good Idea

  
  ChrisWeigant.com — Authority: 420
  The idea itself is a basic one -- pay for the costs of war now, instead of endlessly borrowing money in order to do so. A few weeks ago, the White House leaked an interesting factoid -- it costs one million dollars to put one U.S. soldier in Afghanistan for one year. This is a nice round number, and gets people to ...

• Populist Politics for Dummies

  
  Just Above Sunset — Authority: 424
  Another Thanksgiving, and the same problem, as always – if you’re of the liberal persuasion, even though you try to hide it with some hedging and saying that you’re really a progressive, but not really that, rather just curious about things and open-minded and willing to listen, you know you’ll get hammered ...

• John McCain Gets America’s Rage

  
  Sense on Cents — Authority: 434
  Who does not respect John McCain? Despite what one may think of McCain’s political views, his personal character and courage are unquestioned. His “straight talk express” did not carry him to the White House, but it gained him the respect of many people from both sides of the aisle. Today, Senator McCain shares ...

• Railing Against Bailouts

  
  Eunomia — Authority: 638
  Ross : A slew of conservative economists and think tankers, led by the University of Chicago’s Luigi Zingales and the Manhattan Institute’s Nicole Gelinas, have been working on ways to protect free markets from a re-run of last fall’s “too big to fail” fiasco. But most Republican politicians would rather ...

• Still Waiting

  
  Eunomia — Authority: 638
  Ross : Before the 2008 election, almost nobody outside Alaska and Arkansas had heard of Sarah Palin or Mike Huckabee. But in a long and crowded campaign season, they were the only Republican politicians who inspired any genuine enthusiasm. This is not entirely true. Obviously, Ron Paul inspired very intense ...

• Reforming the GOP

  
  Cato @ Liberty — Authority: 731
  This morning, Politico Arena asks: Do you take Glenn Beck’s “new national movement” seriously? Is the GOP establishment letting itinerant celebrities and talk show stars set the party’s agenda? As Winston Churchill understood, democracy is messy (and, as in his case, sometimes ungrateful).  Glenn Beck ...

• The Right’s Rebirthing Pains

  
  On the Western Banks of the Shenandoah — Authority: 126
  In the aftermath of 2008 alot of conservatives seemed almost as if the life had been completely sucked out of them. Many could be found stumbling along, unshaven, hair akimbo, mumbling, “How could this happen? How could they have elected HIM?” I exaggerate some, yet the fact is that many conservatives were utterly ...

  Politics in the Zeros — Authority: 532
  Frank Rich. NY Times Culture is politics. Palin is at the red-hot center of age-old American resentments that have boiled up both from the ascent of our first black president and from the intractability of the Great Recession for those Americans who haven’t benefited from bailouts.

• Populism in 2009

  
  Libertarian Blog — Authority: 139
  The Populist Party (actually, The Peoples Party) in the very late 19th century was the main force behind the eventual creation of a graduated income tax -- they were statists out to soak Northeastern fat cats. Populism today might be a different movement, but there is still the same anger directed against ...
