		<description><![CDATA[America is broken. Even if we pull through the current economic crisis, recovery won&#8217;t last absent an overhaul of our primary institutions. • One out of ten Americans is now unemployed and the recovery is expected to be jobless. • Fifty million Americans have no heath insurance; two million, no home. • Two million Americans [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama heralds a new politics of dignity. Dignitarian politics transcends traditional libertarian and egalitarian politics to embrace equal dignity for all. Programmatically, the politics of dignity means (1) overcoming rankism in all its guises; (2) taking the damage done by malrecognition as seriously as we take the ravages of malnutrition; (3) seeing rankism as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The politics of dignity means putting behind us—like the toys of our youth—the predatory strategy that has taken Homo sapiens this far, but can take us no further. Domestically, the shift from predation to protection means taking care that no one is marginalized or exploited. It means abandoning policies that hold people down so their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Both political parties know that a unifying core value expressed in a pithy slogan translates into votes. FDR&#8217;s Democrats had &#8220;The New Deal&#8221;; LBJ&#8217;s party advanced &#8220;The Great Society.&#8221; Republicans rally to &#8220;lower taxes,&#8221; &#8220;smaller government,&#8221; &#8220;strong defense,&#8221; and &#8220;family values.&#8221; What core value, what slogan, could move us beyond the toxic standoff that paralyzes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Robert Fuller is back in Berkeley, bearing pictures from YearlyKos. Here&#8217;s a summary of his thoughts on the gathering: YearlyKos was not exactly a passing of the torch from traditional to Internet journalists-there remains a need for books, newspapers, magazines, radio, and TV-but it was certainly the acknowledgement by the former of the latter as [...]]]></description>

Whatever new language progressives used in 2004 failed to change the electoral outcome, and at most it&#8217;ll help them eke out a few victories in the coming years. New [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Democrats acknowledge the need to clarify their core values. Crashing the Gate by Jerome Armstrong and Markos Moulistas Zuniga calls for a conceptual breakthrough, but the grassroots/netroots process it describes falls short of providing the unifying idea that Democrats seek. What basic, compelling idea can do for Democrats today what &#8220;The New Deal&#8221; did for [...]]]></description>

Naively thinking that milblogs were about the authentic voice of soldiers, I thought it would be edifying to check a few out. To my horror and outrage (or was it &#8220;shock and awe&#8221; &#8211; President Bush&#8217;s favorite weapon against the citizens of his own country&#8230;?), [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently the U.S. has been facing significant challenges to one of the fundamental principles of our Constitution, the separation of church and state. As pundits and litigators rattle swords over beachhead issues like prayer in schools and Intelligent Design, it&#8217;s edifying to consider the logical outcome of theocracy. Afghanistan has provided a timely demonstration in [...]]]></description>
