It’s sad to see Democrats once again thrashing around, after November’s defeat, trying to figure out where there message failed and what they need to do in the future.

For the next 4 years, you will be carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. All the suffering, all the conflicts, all the madness will come before you in some form or other for your leadership decision as President.

It’s true that there is no reasoning with rage. The rational forces of democracy are not only helpless to hold it in check, the…

While reading a recent New Yorker, I came upon a sentence that made me stop in disbelief. “The base of the[Republican] Party, the middle-aged white working class, …” I was aware that many working class Whites had become Reagan Democrats and that many were at the heart of theTea Party’s strength. But that things had…

Since the establishment of representative democracies, the role of government has been to promote and secure the safety and well-being of their people. As stated in the Declaration of Independence, the first official document stating this concept of government, “That to secure these rights [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], governments are instituted among…
