The Waffle House?
Like many Americans, I was heartened when President Obama used the iftr observance at the White House to express — in courageous terms — the principled commitment of his administration to the First Amendment’s guarantee, regardless of the opinions of Sarah “stab the heart” Palin and her ilk.
Sure, he did it after the construction of the mosque near Ground Zero was essentially...
Undoing the past
It’s a staple of science fiction … building a time machine to undo the mistakes of the past. Some people would go back in time and stop the assassinations of John F. Kennedy or Abraham Lincoln. Others would go back and murder Hitler before his rise to power, thus preventing the Holocaust.
Others, like John Boehner, R-Ohio, would consider preventing the 14th Amendment from coming into law....
Que un inmigrante illegal
The new Arizona law which mandates U.S. citizens to carry identification – a clear invasion of privacy and an over-reach of a state government’s authority – and its accompanying fervor obscures a larger issue.

Am I better than you? Maybe
Typical anti-intellectual, anti-Progressive rhetoric usually includes the belligerent rhetorical question: “You think you’re better than me?” and so often we fall into the democratic, egalitarian trap of denial.
