Al Carroll: Hopefully more scholars and more of the public will rank as I have, based on moral judgment or humanitarian longing, rather than on partisanship, ideological affinity, or what they think makes American presidencies look good or Americans feel good about themselves.
Remembering Howard Baker
Larry Wines: Always respected on both sides of the aisle, Howard Baker came from the days when Republican politicians were sane.
Hashing Out Our Problems #SMM
Hashtag activism is a growing trend on twitter. #BringBackOurGirls gained attention worldwide with more than 3 million people tweeting with the hashtag. This isn’t the only instance of the hashtag making an impact.
White Power Rising
Tom Hayden: We who were raised on the myths of pluralism and melting pots often have a hard time grasping the persistent growth of a Tea Party that still spouts the very doctrines which we believed were obsolete 50 years ago.
Uncle Sam Doesn’t Want You; He Already Has You
William Astore: You’ve been drafted into the American national security state. That much is evident from Edward Snowden’s revelations.
Neo-Con Travel Agency Open For Business
JP Sotille: That’s right, America. If you’re planning early for the upcoming holiday season, the travel bugs over at the Weekly Standard invite you to “…study with the boss in Jerusalem this winter at a weeklong seminar” appealingly titled “The Case for Nationalism.”
Join the March for Democracy
Sharon Kyle: LA Progressive holds the notion that as long as big money wields power and control of our government, the people will not have true representation. The California March for Democracy needs your support.
From School Bullying to School Shootings
Tara Culp-Ressler: School administrators need to get better at addressing the overall school climate and educating students more specifically about gender-based bullying, like sexual harassment, homophobic harassment, and harassment for gender non-conformity.
Deep Cuts That Save Dollars Make No Sense
Nick Cano: We do not have enough such leaders right now. Instead, we have zombie leaders. They shuffle through the halls of the Capitol, mumbling their “Cut-Cut” mantra and legislating misery, and they are dead inside in all the ways that mark a person as human, humane or humble.
An Assault Upon Our Civility
Walter Brasch: Perhaps the next action by Open Carry Texas will be to take their weapons into ERs and claim that guns in hospitals are necessary to protect the critically wounded from being further assaulted by nurses carrying sawed-off shotguns in their smocks.
Memo to Potential Whistleblowers: If You See Something, Say Something
Norman Solomon: Whistleblowers don’t sign up to be whistleblowers. Almost always, they begin their work as true believers in the system that conscience later compels them to challenge.
The Irrepressible Maya Angelou
Lance Simmens: She simply said she was not satisfied with the speech that she had rehearsed and decided to do her own. She struck me as that way, always doing things on her own terms.
California Carnage
Tom Degan: A father’s anguished words following the latest, totally expected rampage of gun violence – this time in California – didn’t really have much effect on the people in a position to do something to stem the carnage.
