Making the World Safe for Democracy?
A frequently used justification dating back to the Woodrow Wilson Administration again seems a bit ironic; using various NGO’s and plenty of taxpayer money, Assistant Secretary of State for Euro/Eurasian affairs, Victoria Nuland, is the western face of a not so discrete double-standard.
Question: How do we assert the moral high-ground with Putin when this Nation’s own policy is designed to subvert the very democratic process we claim to guard?
U.S. Government to Release Administrative Control over the Internet
The political backlash over revelations regarding U.S. Security Agencies abuse of the Internet for surveillance purposes may be just the final push needed. Let’s face it, the allegations that the Internet is the contemporary equivalent of the Wild West has been the seedling for various Federal attempts aimed at shackling the free-flow of info via the internet, but the pro-First Amendment arguments have kept that from happening, so far.
Jolly Outcome in Florida is NO GOP Victory
Sure thing Alex Sinks, the well-funded and one-time Dem’s Gubernatorial candidate, loss of the 13th District Congressional seat to once-a-DC inside the beltway lobbyist, Republican David Jolly, has Reince Priebus (RNC Chairman) in a total state of delusion.
While it is easy to indulge the intellect, the outcome being simply an anti-Obama agenda victory in reality is something quite different. Former Obama believers who’ve since been repulsed didn’t show and the once thought of DNC traditionalists are now considered center-right moderates and being repulsed by leftist-extremism didn’t show as well. That leaves the hard-left & left of center Dems (who view Obama as compromised) and the angry anti-Obama crowd to punch their respective ballots.
CPAC & the Optics of Missed Opportunity
Being oblivious is a political condition that one can excuse; random actions are robust and their frequency difficult to track. On the other hand, deliberate and calculated ignorance is something quite different. Teasing the CPAC audience with the pretense of an emerging political counter-culture may trigger a buzz in social-media but where it counts, in the platform of action the Nation requires, there was no content.
History: The Cause of Repetitive Doom
George Santayana, in his book “Reason and Common Sense”, proffered that:
“Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.”
A powerful thought frequently applied (and misquoted) as filler for the protagonist and for this reason I’ve often wondered if its meaning, and the causal force that lies behind it, are truly understood. Whatever the case it seems most likely that the real condemnation is not that humans forget history but more so that it is the adaptation to a selectively crafted version of history that is the greatest danger of all.
