CraneBrad Thompson’s excellent new book, Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea, adroitly dissects this pernicious political philosophy.  He has received some criticism for attempting to demonstrate that Leo Strauss, the philosophical godfather of so many neocons, had a certain sympathy with fascism.  Indeed, while stating that he is not saying neoconservatives have fascist designs, Thompson does suggest that their philosophy could pave the way to a kind of “soft fascism.”  Far be it from me to pass judgment on such academic debate, but it is interesting to consider the following from the noted neocon columnist for the New York Times, David Brooks, writing in that paper on March 10: Citizenship, after all, is built on an awareness that we are not all that special bu...

According to today’s New York Times and other news outlets, Republicans at the state and federal level are gearing up to re-open the question of whether children born in the United States to parents who are here illegally should be granted automatic citizenship under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. James Ho makes a strong case in this morning’s Wall Street Journal that the 14th Amendment as written after the Civil War was intended to include the children of resident aliens whatever their legal status. The former solicitor general of Texas, Ho describes a series of Supreme Court decisions since then that have consistently upheld the principle tha...

On any number of issues, I feel as if what I write is of no value and has influenced nobody who would not already agree with me.Well, that's not true, of course. And not in the sense of bragging. It's literally impossible for anyone who communicates with other people to avoid some degree of influence. And as I climb slowly out of what now seems to have been a rather profound depression that eventually forced me to take some time off, I look back at what I've written.And some of it doesn't suck at all. Some of what I've written is pretty good. Some of it continues to bring traffic. If it does have any influence at all, it looks like it will have the sort of influence I would like. ...

We do. In fact, most families do somewhere. For us, we have a few older relatives who firmly believe that technology is for “the younger generation”. What’s interesting is that some of these people are not that old, at least not “old” as I definite it. One relative, for example, was a working woman in her younger days. Retired now, she never bought into any technology past the 1970s! Truly…beyond the automobile, refrigerator, TV, radio, dishwasher, washer and drier, she has seen no need for anything else. Although  she has grudgingly begun to use email and the web, she has deemed herself  ”old” and refused to use a cell phone or any other “high tech device”. Various rela...

Indeed, under existing law, American citizenship can be taken away from any adult who, among other actions, makes a formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state, serves in the armed forces of a foreign state if such armed forces are engaged in hostilities against the United States, or commits any act of treason against the United States. The Lieberman-Brown bill, which adds to that list the provision of material support to State Department-recognized terrorist organizations (most notably Al Qaeda) or actively engaging in hostilities against the United States, is thus not problematic on its face. It merely clarifies, in an age where America’s enemies ...

And despite the apparent belief of the perpetually terrorized that Miranda warnings are some kind of magical incantation that causes the cone of silence to descend upon blabbermouths, they determined that he would probably continue cooperating even after being Mirandized. But as Kerr points out, they could have proceeded sans Miranda had that seemed necessary—provided they were willing to waive...

CannonPresident Obama delivered a commencement speech at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Saturday. He called on all Americans “to maintain a basic level of civility in our public debate.”  Who could argue? Yet the president apparently believes that civility means protecting his policies from valid criticism. He instructed graduates that “the practice of listening to opposing views is essential for effective citizenship.”  Right again.  But the civics lesson rings hollow coming from a president who falsely claimed there was “no disagreement” over his massive “stimulus” bill, and that opponents of his health care takeover offered no proposals of their own. He explained, “what we should be asking is not whether...

Pre-broadband I used to do it all the time.  In fact, it’s how we all lived. Post-broadband, it’s been exceptionally rare. Post-cell phone, iPhone especially, no way!  For the better part of the past 2 weeks, though, that’s exactly what I’ve managed to do…and it’s been wonderful! Here’s the synopsis of my “experiment”: During Turn Off Week, we reinforced the notion that a busy family is a family who doesn’t gravitate towards screens of any kind. We didn’t need to consciously think about what we were missing on TV or surfing the net because we were too busy doing other things. Being on vacation, that’s easy to accomplish. The goal now is to molt that vacation mentality to the every day down time of o...

Our resolutions enterring this new decade are not that dramatically different from those we had in 2000. If you read enough posts and end of the year wrap ups from 2009 and 1999, the list is virtually idential: we all want to be more healthy, to be kinder, to feel less stress out, to spend more time with family and friends. But, time has passed and there has been some dramatic shifts in technology that have impacted our lives over the last decade in ways unimaginable.  In 1999, we were not uber connected on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter…in fact, homes were not wired to allow us to be connected to even have email.

He was born in Kenya. Or maybe Indonesia.

Consensual interaction can not be rights violating.But what, you might ask, about vulnerable folks, with weak wills?
