On The Marraige Equality Question

Now @ The POLITICIZER:

Equality is a product of mind, while inequality is a product of fact, and the majesty of mind has heretofore yet to conquer the goliath Reality. This is, to us modern men, lamentable, and, indeed, even unacceptable. But the struggle for equality is perpetual and without satisfaction. Its cause is righteous in our minds, but intractable in our condition.

Young America Needs Health Reform

Now @ THE POLITICIZER:

If it is re-election that gives Congress trepidation, know this: there is a whole generation of Americans, my generation, whose votes transcend ideology, party lines, talking points and soundbites. It is a generation that simply sees problems and finds solutions. Failure to solve this problem now will betray us all, and we will remember every November for a very long time.”

The Useful Illusion of Majority Rule

NOW @ THE POLITICIZER:
The brilliance of Lincoln’s words aside, the United States has never been a nation of or by the People, though it has more often than not been for it. We are fortunate to live in such a nation of useful illusions.

On California II: Towards a New Neoconservatism

NOW @ THE POLITICIZER:
"A new neo-conservatism must rise. One that is neither “liberal” nor “conservative” in their modern meanings, but which fundamentally understands that stability precedes justice. It must rise to destroy the injurious and foolishly fabricated moralities eviscerating our civilization, and it must construct new ones in their stead. That is the real challenge of this generation, and history will surely judge it so."

Exposing the "War on Drugs"

NOW @ THE POLITICIZER: How reactionary, misguided and extortionate Federal drug regulations created, inflamed and perpetuated the “Drug War” of today.
