The Real Problem with Traitor Joe's Chairmanship While I admit that my anger with Joe Lieberman's continued chairmanship of the Senate Homeland Security Committee is partially due to a desire for vengeance (which, in this case, I prefer to think of as justice), I also have a far more pragmatic reason to oppose this decision by the Senate Dems.

Revoke the Mormons' 501(c)(3) Status? Churches enjoy 501(c)(3) status as tax-exempt religious organizations. But with privilege comes responsibility. And so with 501(c)(3) status comes the obligation to refrain from most types of political activity.

One Step Forward, Three Steps Back On Election Day, tolerance in the USA took a huge step forward with the election of our first African-American president. On at least three other fronts, however, tolerance took a step backwards in a somewhat different direction.

The Trouble With Nader As much as I appreciate the idealism of these third-party voters, the electoral process isn't set up to work in their favor. We've got a two-party system in which third-party votes are potential spoilers. But there is a way around this.

America's Enduring Culture of Hate Hate and intolerance are alive and thriving, and in fact seem especially pronounced during this high-stakes election campaign season.

Is Palin the New Bush? Will Sarah Palin run for president in 2012? Stranger things have happened, like the election of the similarly unqualified George W. Bush in 2000.

Powell's Endorsement: Redemption, Race, or Revenge? I see Powell's endorsement of Barack Obama as a step towards atoning for his support of the neocon agenda in the run-up to the Iraq war. Others apparently disagree.

Is John McCain Still Trapped in Vietnam? We need a president who can learn from the past, not dwell on it -- or in it.

Maryland State Police Put Nonviolent Activists on Terror Lists This is America, where we once believed that only in a dictatorship or a police state would our right to dissent be stifled.

Hasn't McCain Done Enough for the Economy? John McCain is seeking to postpone Friday's debate in order to focus on the financial crisis. OK, so he is incapable of multitasking. But that is not my biggest concern.

Will Racism Cost Obama the Election? Sadly, racism is still a factor in this year's presidential election, even here in the 21st century.

9/11 Became an Excuse I am so tired of the politics of fear and lying. And when it's done in the name of 9/11, it dishonors those who lost their lives in the attacks.

What Sarah Palin Didn't Tell Us In her acceptance speech at the RNC, Sarah Palin covered the talking points that would win favor with her audience. At the same time, she chose to ignore some important considerations that could make all the difference in voters' minds.

RNC, Gustav, and NOLA -- Oh My! Bush and Cheney have canceled their appearances at the Republican National Convention, which begins tomorrow, because of "mounting concerns about Hurricane Gustav." Call me a cynic but I think it's just PR.

Working the Sarah Palin Puzzle Why did McCain choose Sarah Palin as his running mate? And will it work?

Joe Biden: The Yang to Obama's Yin I don't think there could have been a "perfect" choice for Obama's VP slot, but then there never is. All things considered, I think Biden is probably the most solid choice we had this year.

Politicians' Affairs, Double Standards, and Glass Houses Everywhere I never thought I'd find myself feeling thankful that John Edwards didn't win the Democratic nomination for this year's presidential election. But today I do, and not for the reasons you might think.
