Domestic Terrorism American Style -- An Analysis It would be a mistake to think that the Klan mentality is dead in the U.S. Quite the contrary. The nation's deep seated history of racism has helped preserve an apparent permanent subset of Americans who grow up with prejudicial feelings against anyone they perceive as a threat to their version of the "American way of life."

Forgetting the Why of the New Deal Until the Great Crash of 1929, the federal government did little to regulate the power of Wall Street as it precipitated cycles of boom and bust that ruined the lives of many Americans. That history is now being forgotten as Republicans move to dismantle what's left of the New Deal.

On the Road to Ryan and Ruin -- An Analysis A Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan presidency would most likely increase the pace of deregulation and destroy what is left of the country's safety nets. It would ultimately devastate the middle class, greatly increase the ranks of the poor and unemployed, do away with union rights, and reserve prosperity for the upper class alone.

The Know-Nothing Candidate -- An Analysis The Know-Nothing candidate wants to be president. And he may well succeed depending on just how many other Americans know nothing in ways that make them comfortable with Mr. Romney's ignorance. "Ignorance is as ignorance does," particularly on election day.

History on a Billboard -- Fanatacism on the Ground -- An Analysis It might very well be that Israel is here to stay. But that does not mean that it will always be the racist, oppressive society it is now. Consistently applied outside pressure, growing in scope and strength, can wear down support for ideologues, create a better society that is tolerant and mindful of the need for justice, first and foremost for Israel's victims, the Palestinian people.

America's Twisted Notion of Freedom In America, "freedom" now means the right to inflict harm on the community, whether it's the freedom of Wall Street bankers to gamble recklessly, the freedom of the rich to shut factories and off-shore jobs or the freedom to swagger around with deadly weapons. That freedom has struck again in Colorado.

Nationalism vs. Capitalism: Guess Which One Wins? The ideals of capitalism, so ardently believed in, turn out to be false except for (as the current saying goes) the fortunate 1%. And those of nationalism? They too are drilled into our heads from childhood. But, alas, they cannot substitute for one's supper.

The Picking-a-President Dilemma Many Americans struggle with the moral and practical issue of whether to vote for someone who may be the better choice to be President but who is still far from perfect. With the upcoming election, that choice is even more critical.
