The past 30 years—the course of five administrations, particularly the last two, those of "W." Bush, and Obama—have witnessed a precipitous decline in America's reputation, relative affluence, cultural level, and Constitutional order. Americans have specific grievances: —Workers' rights to...

This assessment lacks depth. Please elaborate.

An interesting opportunity may arise for third-party candidates: Ferris J. Anderson Jr 6:36pm Oct 18 http://www.facebook.com/pages/Occupy-the-Oval-at-Ohio-State/215263885207743 Bruce Zimmerman http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=86586603220&topic=17361

The case of Switzerland (the Confederation of Helvetia): What about Switzerland? It's a real-world experiment in limited government, of long standing. The federal government is forced to share power with the cantons, who jealously guard their prerogatives. True, there has been conflict between...

A little logical consistency, s'il vous plaît, "angelatc." You ("angelatc") seem to be somewhat double-minded on the subject of Germany. To wit: v. :confused: Just what kind of logically-consistent point are you trying to make? As for your reasons given: are you sure that you're on the...

You've been had so many times...how is it that you object now? ADL Report: "Spit in a Goy's face, and kick him in the shin, and his face will go red, just like the background of a Nazi (or a Communist) flag! What temerity! We can't have Goyisch faces reviving that shade of evil. We have exposed...

Republicans, as opposed to Democrats, as opposed to _____? Do you think that the Democratic Party is dead to liberty? Isn't the Democrat Establishment only slightly worse (or better) than the Republican Establishment? What makes you think that the displacement of the Establishment in one party...

On the regrettable omission of 285 years... Between your "Pre-Columbian Era" (prehistory through 1492-1504) and "Federalist Era" (1789-1801), would lie both the Colonial Era ("History of the Thirteen Colonies") and the Revolutionary War Era (1763-1789). The "History of the Thirteen Colonies,"...

"Putin to the West: Take Your Medicine (And don't go socialist)" There's nothing surprising about any of this. Thanks for the interesting link. Let me proffer one in return: to Justin Raimondo's Antiwar.com editorial of 2 Feb. 2009, "Putin to the West: Take Your Medicine (And don't go...

Yes, the CIA really buggered things up, back in '53, when they engineered the overthrow of the democratically-elected Mosadegh. The entire Iranian "situation," as it has developed since '79, has been the predictable blowback pursuant to that original sin. If only they had left well-enough alone...

Jeffersonian party must have a positive name I like your idea of a Jeffersonian party. The criticism of Brooklyn Red Leg is malapros: of course it would be anti-Federalist, though its name must not imply that its program is limited by simply being "anti," to whatever platform the latter-day...

It sounds good to me! Russia is capable of stabilizing its own backyard, more effectively than we are. Also, we must consider Russia's (and China's, etc.) legitimate defense requirements, appropriate defensive perimeter, and appropriate speres of influence. It's only reasonable. Come to think of...

I share the ambivalence. Good article! I share Anthony Gregory's ambivalence. I'm glad to see a renewal of the conservative distrust of FedGov. At the same time, however, I resent having to endure the revival of the superannuated Russophobia, the supercilious contempt for the Europeans (the...

US better-off without it! The US will be better-off without the base at Manas: its loss will keep US out of trouble. This should not be an entirely unwelcome turn of events: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (R) and his Kyrgyz counterpart Kurmanbek Bakiyev shake hands after signing...
