Fealty
Mike Huckabee needs to learn from history, especially the religious wars of the Reformation, and the Council of Nicaea where what was God's was literally rendered unto Caesar.

The Caesar Factor
(2 comments)
Conservatives have lied about the actions and motivations of progressives since the time of Athens and Rome. It is time to begin looking at history with a more jaundiced eye, and from the perspective of the Caesar Factor: that fear and jealousy motivate the conservatives far more than avarice and anger motivate progressives.

Through the Past Darkly
The oligarchic reactioaries have always relied on violence and intimidation to maintain their control. John F. Kennedy and Gaius Julius Caesar were both victims of the plutocrats lust for power. We must resist their evil, or face oppression.

Rights, Powers, Privileges, and Responsibilities
The Declaration of Independence is a moral document, written not only to establish a new nation, but also to establish a basis for human rights and self-governance. We need to remember the courage of the Founders in this time, when we are challenged by the most immoral and repressive administration in our history.

Democracy and Republic
(4 comments)
I am tired of the misrepresentation of our democracy by conservatives and libertarians. The type of democracy the Founders warned us against was a direct democracy, where the people voted on every law, much like the referendum system here in Colorado. We need to "rectify the language," as Confucius is purported to have said, and take caution with the meanings of the words we use.

Choosing the Hardest Thing
(10 comments)
It is easier to do evil than it is to do good; but it is easier to do good than it is to undo evil. Fear and expediency are crippliing the body politic, and our gaovernments reputation both at home and abroad. We must rediscover the courage of our Founding Fathers, and take back our country before it is too late.

Stalingrad On The Euphrates
(3 comments)
Asymmetric warfare and George Bush's ego are destroying the American Army in Iraq as surely as Marshal Zhukov's tanks and Hitler's ego wrecked the German Wehrmacht at Stalingrad. We must bring our troops home now, before our Army is destroyed.

Polarization
(8 comments)
It is time to stop the corpratists from playing us off one against the other. They started class warfare in 1981, and are on the verge of destroying the middle class. It is time for us find an answer between socialism and capitalism, and ram it down their throats.

My Fairy Godmother Part2
First time I've been rejected by OpEdNews for the original of this article. And what is worse, I deserved it. Note to self: do not get overly involved in characterization. This is the second part of My Fairy Godmother (Pt 1 was in early February). This time Marge and I discuss election reform and corporations.

My Fairy Godmother Part 1
It is always interesting when my fairy godmother shows up, asking if I have another wish for her to fulfill. This time I had a doozy.

Ave Atque Vale
The death of Gerald Ford has brought most of our nation into a state of mourning. We should always mourn the passing of every human being, but we must also remember that President Ford was responsible for many of our nation's current political problems.

Delusional State of the Nation
At the edge of a precipice, you can dig in your heels or jump. However, before you make your choice, make sure you are not deluding yourself about what is going on.
