2007-10-14 02:23  Primero Justicia does its "ideological congress"
Today opposition party Primero Justicia, PJ, did what it should have done years ago: create a party platform where ideas and objectives are clearly stated. This post is not about those ideas, nor even why it took so long for PJ to finally organize itself for the long run (under chavismo as I will illustrate later in this post, such a thing is very difficult). No, this post is an amateur report from inside a political celebration in Venezuela where this blogger had the luck to be invited even if …

2007-10-10 03:40  Democrats to Michigan -- buzz off
Tuesday afternoon, as Republican presidential candidates readied for debate in Dearborn, Michigan, Democratic presidential candidates withdrew from Michigan's renegade early primary. Edwards, Biden, Obama, Richardson, Kucinich and Clinton believe in playing by the rules. Although their interpretations differ slightly in this instance. The first five will not participate in the primary; Clinton will keep her name on the ballot. None of them will campaign in the state. "Americans who play by the r …

I fear my beloved Republicans have learned the wrong lessons from recent history. Poor Senator Craig cannot find a friend in the Senate Cloakroom. Well, perhaps, that's for the best. But he cannot find a friend in the GOP leadership,...

2007-08-31 07:56  A Psychological History of Palestinian Arabs, part 13
The stateless Palestinian Arabs became more and more fragmented as the 1960s dawned. As their numbers increased, so did their value to the ever-growing number of Arab leaders who wanted to act as their leaders. The Arab world at this time was far from unified. By 1960, there were at least three major players bidding for leadership of the Arab world: Gamal Abdul Nasser of Egypt, King Hussein of Jordan and Abd al-Karim Qasim of Iraq. Each of them tried to out-do the others in claiming to be the le …

2007-08-29 22:26  Conservatives Can Support Rudy in 08
For those of you who are political junkies, you may have seen the official announcement from the Rudy Giuliani campaign that I am one of the two co-chairs in Wisconsin for his Presidential bid. Now, I am expecting some blow-back on this from my beloved arch-conservative friends and I am ready to debate. Before anybody gets ramped up about it, I'd like to lay the groundwork for my support of "America's Mayor." Of all the titles/positions I've held in my youthful 40+ years, the one I value most is …

2007-08-29 12:57  Beware the Ides of October
Yesterday saw the announcment that the 17th National Congress of the beloved Chinese Communist Party will begin on 15th October. I'm sure that the next 6 and a half weeks are going to be an absolute barrel of laughs for Chinese dissidents, journalists and foreign reporters whilst the paranoid apparatus of the State tries to keep the lid on simmering unrest related to rising food prices and corruption (both petty and serious) by local government officials. Like the 16th National Congress, this on …

2007-08-29 02:49  Roman and Protestant models of apostolic authority
Continuing the conversation with Japhy on the papal bull Unam Sanctam in which the Roman Catholic church made the official claim that it is "absolutely necessary for salvation ... to be subject to the Roman Pontiff". This one took me a few days to post because I had to edit out as much as I could of the frustration at exactly how over-the-top I find this particular claim of Rome. I hope I have got it in a better tone; I have reworded it a number of times. The difficulty comes when I re-read one …

2007-08-27 06:09  Clint Curtis Guest Blogs on The Brad Blog
As many readers of this site are no doubt aware, The Brad Blog has been doggedly tracking election fraud like a pit bull with a pot roast for years. We are proud to be associated with investigative blogger extraordinaire Brad Friedman, whose efforts have almost singlehandedly dragged the Neocon election fraud machine into the harsh light of the sun. So as Clint Curtis gears up for the '08 Congressional fight in FL-24, he thought it fitting to reintroduce himself via a guest post on Brad Blog. Te …

2007-08-24 00:10  Selling Hope Needs Some Serious Security!
Take a deep breath... After years of investigating the Benny Hinn phenomenon via third party information, I finally made the decision to check out the man behind the money, firsthand. Last Friday night I made my way down to The Air Canada Centre in Toronto, the new home of my beloved star-crossed Toronto Maple Leafs. As I approached the VIP gate where I was told to go by the Crusade coordinator, two very hip, tattooed, 20ish, trendy skater dudes checked my name off the list, and then pleasantly …

I certainly agree with Scott (and Dennis Kucinich) that it's time (past time) for Cheney to be judged clearly "in the spotlight of collective accountability."

Hey Nathan, Thanks for the email (regarding the conversation that was happening on your blog -- http://www.nathancolquhoun.com/blog/index.php/2007/08/19/drawing_someone_else_s_line#comments ). I hope you don't mind me taking the time to write all this out here, truth be told, I'm curious to hear what others might have to say about all this. Like you, I was raised in a family and a church that pushed the notion of "leadership" -- and pushed it onto me, specifically. I've been encouraged to situat …

2007-08-22 19:07  �Often in Error, Never in Doubt �: on leaving All Saints and a penchant for always ending up in lead …
When I first started blogging four years ago this month (at a now long-defunct site), I was in active leadership at Pasadena Mennonite Church. After several years of worshipping at All Saints Pasadena, I left for the Mennonites in mid-2002. I remained, however, active in youth ministry at All Saints. I left the Mennonites and returned to All Saints in late 2004. It was exhausting to be part of two very different church cultures, and though I felt more at home theologically among the Anabaptists, …
