Review of: Williams, God's Own Party

Review of: Williams, God's Own Party:

What this reviewer fails to discover is the Bible is the Book for revelation and spirituality. Many of these "Southern Evangelicals" are bigots and racists. What Bible are they reading? What Jesus are they following? The Southern Evangelicals' main objective is to defeat the "Black" President. The Southern Evangelical cannot call themselves Christians. They need to find a name suitable for their character and behavior. I have some names. What about you?

Taliban Suspends Peace Talks With U.S.

Thursday, March 15, 2012 THE BIG STORY, BY E.J. DIONNE Romney Meets 'Peasants With Pitchforks' When Pat Buchanan ran for president in the 1990s, the conservative commentator lovingly referred to his partisans as "peasants with pitchforks." The pitchfork brigade now enjoys more power in Republican politics than even Buchanan thought possible. Mitt Romney is still the Republican front-runner by virtue of the delegates he relentlessly piles up. But Romney keeps failing to bring this slugfest to a close. No matter how much he panders and grovels to the party's right, its supporters will never see him as one of their own.

"What a crowd," he said. "I'm really impressed. There must be no one left at Wal-Mart this afternoon." Makes you wonder, doesn't it, what Gingrich was willing to say to the majority of Alabamians who didn't support him. When I heard about Gingrich's Wal-Mart crack, my head hurt, and my heart ached. He tends to have that effect on me in general, but this time my grievances were more specific.

According to a statement released Thursday by Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid, the United States kept changing the terms of the negotiations.

Maxwell March 7, 2012   The fractious debate over how much schools can counteract poverty's impact on children is far from settled, but a recently published collection of research strongly suggests that until policymakers and educators confront deepening economic and social disparities, poor children will increasingly miss out on finding a path to upward social mobility.   The achievement gap between poor children and rich children has grown significantly over the past three decades and is now nearly twice as large as the black-white gap, according to Sean F. Reardon, a Stanford University sociologist. He examined data on family income and student scores on standardized tests in reading and math spanning 1960 to 2007.    Read More...       Parents Are Building Organizations to Help Educate their Children     Whether they're organizing events, buttonholing legislators, or simply trading ideas and information, a growing number of "parent unions" are attempting to stake out a place in policy debates over education in states and districts, amid a crowded field of actors and advocates.   As the term implies, some of these organizations see themselves as countering the political might of teachers' unions, though others see the labor groups as allies. Still other parents' unions are less concerned with teacher and labor-management issues than with advancing their own tightly focused-or very broad-agendas. Those agendas include improving school gifted-and-talented programs, for instance, and closing achievement gaps between minority and white students.   Read More...

Romney Loses Again! Who Will He Fire?

Wednesday, March 14, 2012 THE BIG STORY Mitt Romney Likes To Fire People -- Including His Campaign Managers? The putative frontrunner made no public appearances on Tuesday night after an embarrassing third place finish in both the Alabama and Mississippi Republican presidential primary elections -- even though the Romney campaign had been predicting a victory. Instead, his headquarters dispatched a written statement that congratulated Rick Santorum for winning both states, while reminding people of his huge delegate advantage. It was an unusual way to try to demonstrate confidence. READ MORE Send To A Friend >> ON THE WEB How Politicians Track Your Life On Facebook Targeted online advertising is nothing new.

President Obama has seized dictatorial power to murder any American citizen he secretly deems a terrorist. Attorney General Eric Holder's craven rationalization of the so-called "CIA assassination" of U.S.-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in the wilds of Yemen last September struck some as the veritable death-knell of democracy. Sounds grave, doesn't it? Then why are so many Americans, myself included, so blasé about it? READ MORE Send To A Friend >> FEATURED COLUMN: LEONARD PITTS JR. No! Why Obama's Drone Assassins Are Acting Outside The Law Spin it any way you want. Justify it, rationalize it, chalk it up to the exigencies of war. And at the end, the fact remains: A United States citizen is dead and the United States government killed him. Without trial. Without due process. Without hesitation. And many of those who loudly deplored George W. Bush for smaller excesses seem content to allow Barack Obama this larger one.
