[Intellectual Roadtrip] American History in brief- Reconstruction to 911: Unfortunately for the all sides was the fact that the president who longed to see forgiveness and unity restored during Reconstruction was felled by an assassins bullet, leaving men with lesser motivations and intents to oversee the healing of a nation. It wasnt till 1877 that the South saw Federal troops removed, and the process of healing begin.

[NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias] Olbermann Hypocritically Links McCain to Bin Laden, Decried Anti ...: The President behaving a little bit more than usual, like we'd all interrupted him while he was watching his favorite cartoons on the DVR, stepped before the press conference microphone and, after side-stepping most of the substantive issues, like the Israeli raid on Syria, in condescending and infuriating fashion, produced a big wow political finish that indicates certainly that, if it was not already, the annual Republican witch-hunting season is under way.
[Wingless] Feeding Bush to Obama Supporters : A Rebuttal: For one, if any of them even have an iota of real belief that this is fact, why are they not attempting to impeach him (sending American’s to die for a lie seems impeachable, does it not?!)Additionally, the Democrats themselves were privy to the same intelligence and they reached the EXACT SAME CONCLUSIONS:

[Offshore Asset Protection BLOG - Bob Bauman] The Importance of Free Trade: Senator Obama has gone radically farther, sponsoring anti-tax haven legislation that would allow the U.S. Treasury to control offshore capital and investments by Americans.

[Diary of a Displaced Canadian] [SBNet] The Pillars of American Democracy Are Rotting: Americans - and especially those that are Democrats - love to complain about the Republican Party that has essentially run this country since the Richard Nixon administration as if they were a theocracy; you know, something they can't .
[The New Liberty] HL Mencken on Congressman: That debate deserves a great deal more study than it will ever get from the historians of American politics, nearly all of whom, whether they lean to the right or to the left, are bedazzled by the economic interpretation of history, and so seek to account for all political phenomena in terms of crop movements, wage scales, and panics in Wall Street. It seems to me that that obsession blinds them to a fact of the first importance, to wit, the fact that political ideas, under a democracy as under a monarchy, originate above quite as often as they originate below, and that their popularity depends quite as much upon the special class interests of professional politicians as it depends upon the underlying economic interests of the actual voters.

[Rhode Islands Future: Politics & Culture - Front Page] Why Progressives Should Be Supporting Mayoral Academies: Essentially what McKee is saying is that with increased financial resources (taken from teachers instead of from taxpayers) he can create a better education for students from his system. Except for the obviously important point of where the funding increment comes from and the fact that he is proposing to do this to benefit only a randomly chosen and small number of students, is that so very different from the union position about how to improve our schools?

[International Economic Law and Policy Blog] Obama's New Economics Adviser: Jason Furman, director of the Hamilton Project, a centrist economic group, thinks there will be plenty of China-bashing rhetoric and talk of trade barriers”like one proposal to slap a 27.5 percent tariff on Chinese goods because of the weak yuan--over the next few years, not to mention a pause in new trade agreements. But in the end, he speculates, Democrats will mostly push for greater social insurance, such as vastly increased unemployment benefits.

[Undergroundnetwork] War, Propaganda and the Media: Released in October 2003, the Misperceptions, the Media and the Iraq War survey asked what unfounded beliefs Americans held about the conflict, the medias role in propelling this misinformation and the impact these beliefs had on whether voters supported or opposed the war. Focusing on just those myths that may have influenced peoples decision to support the invasion, the survey asked participants whether they believed “weapons of mass destruction” had been found in Iraq, whether there were links between Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda, and whether Saddam was linked to the September 11 attacks.
