Rino’s V. Conservative Manifesto

Rino’s V. Conservative Manifesto

I recently read a piece by a conservative commentator extolling the virtues of so-called RINO’s and moderates in the republican party, suggesting their middle-of-the-road approach will work much better than the harsh stance presented by hardline teapartiers. Their voice is too strident, posture too intractable, to offer much help with negotiation and compromise. Except > if she would stop and think for a minute...

End Times

Since the time of FDR, maybe before, America has tried to develop a social contract to encourage the flow of resources back to the people. The idea was to develop an array of safety nets for those who were unable to fend for themselves, or who fell through the cracks of the free enterprise, capitalistic system. Prof Walter Russell Meade of Bard College writes at length on the subject, saying in part . . . the institutions,...
