Barack Obama and the Reverend Wright

apl — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 21:43:11 +0000

Here is my take on Barack Obama and the Reverend Wright: most people and especially Obama partisans, have missed the point.

Dialog On Race

apl — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 15:30:55 +0000

It seems we are about to embark on a long overdue “dialog on race”. That’s what everyone in the media, both traditional and online, are saying — that Barack Obama’s speech on race has opened a window of opportunity. All we need to do it step through that window and a golden age of understanding will ensue.

I don’t believe that about the golden age. In fact I don’t believe we will actually step through the window. Bill Clinton tried that over ten years ago and nothing happened. (more…)

Federal Funding of…Everything

apl — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 19:52:46 +0000

Here we are in the thick of the election season and, as always happens during such times, we hear endless declarations from the candidates about the various problems that they will fix for us if we will only vote for them, and endless discussion from activists and advocates and self-declared victims and would-be policy-makers about what problems they

fix for us. And in all those declarations and all that discussion there are two common themes which underlie all those promises and pleadings: that in general

can fix all those problems; and that in particular

should expend its resources to do so.

Setting aside the legitimate debates over whether or not government is capable of making as much positive difference as the advocates and candidates seem to believe, and setting aside the separate and equally legitimate — and perhaps more important — question of whether government ought to involve itself in such projects, there is another question which was at one time in our history vigorously debated but now seems rarely to be asked: at what level of government is such involvement best applied?

Suppressing Students’ Right to Vote

apl — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 04:48:41 +0000

In December of 2007 The New York Times’ Board Blog featured an expression of outrage about a particular form of “voter suppression” — attempts to prevent students from voting. The prototypical incident they cited came from Georgia Southern University where a local citizens’ group began challenging student voter registrations after something close to 2000 students were registered in a campus voter registration drive. Although the genesis of this activity appears to have been a concern about students voting in

elections — which the editorialist characterized as “local officials who want to keep a tight grip on political power” — both the Times and much of the commentary on the piece extrapolated that into a more nefarious — and partisan, since it is of course Republicans who despise representative Democracy and who want to prevent students from voting for Democrats — plot to rig the presidential and congressional elections.

Health Care and Profit

apl — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 02:45:12 +0000

The self-righteousness of those who proclaim that profit is the beast eating the health-care industry and that all would be wonderful if we could just remove profit from the system is both annoying and tedious.

Better Debates

apl — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 02:27:50 +0000

THAT debate format would actually tell us what the candidates believe in depth, give us a sense of how they analyze problems and what kinds of advisors they listen to, give us a real knowledge about their plans on a particular topic (and about what topcis they think are important), and give us a fighting chance at assessing the source material they rely on in forming their opinions and plans.

Regional Primaries (again?)

apl — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 02:18:42 +0000

The day after the Iowa caucuses The New York Times lead their editorial page with yet another condemnation of the way we choose our presidential candidates, and in particular of the fact that those hicks in Iowa and New Hampshire seem to have so much more sway over the process than the more erudite and sophisticated urbanites of places like — well, like New York.

Scientific Faith?

apl — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 01:48:45 +0000

Last November The New York Times published a piece by Paul Davies in which he took on the attitude of superiority with which secular scientists (his model, apparently, was those like Richard Dawkins, whose recently published book advocating atheism was one of several that sparked a firestorm between believers and non-believers) treated matters of faith. Some of his criticism hit the mark, but I thought he went over the top when he claimed that science itself is an edifice built on faith — a faith in the scientific method and a presupposition that there are, in fact, physical laws underlying and explaining the way things behave.

Religion in Politics

Now that Mitt Romney has felt the need to address the nation on the matter of his faith I’m posting this, which I wrote a month ago and submitted to

in response to a column on the issue by one of their regular columnists.

They declined the opportunity to publish it at the time.

It provides a brief commentary — and some recommendations — on our electoral process.
