By extending a hand to the right wing, President Obama is doing more than promoting bipartisanship. He's running a reality check.

The Republican Party is controlled by two ideological groups -- the Religious Right and neoconservatives. Both groups share one thing in common: they are driven by fear and paranoia.

We can now assume full responsibility for the good that we do as Americans, which is fantastic, but the reason I miss W is that I have lost my scapegoat if we do bad.

Over the past few weeks, many Bush administration officials have begun rewriting history in an effort to burnish President Bush's legacy. Following su...

Much of the economic crisis is also being engineered by our sweet neo-cons to create an untenable situation for the Dems coming into power.

The neocons, deprived of a John McCain presidency, have latched onto a new potential female savior. No, it isn't Sarah Palin. It's Hillary Clinton.

The culture war waged by Republican revolutionaries is grounded in 19th century gender, race and class divisions, as well as nativism that perpetuated fear of immigrants and derided social justice movements.

Conservative bloggers had hoped to use the clip to forward their new narrative on the economic crisis, but found, to their dismay, that the it had been mysteriously scrubbed from the SNL website.

Sarah Palin may not have known what the Bush Doctrine was, but we're getting a pretty good idea of what the Palin Doctrine is. And what is it going to look like? Let's just say, it's going to seem familiar.

In just fifty days you will be, in theory, the most powerful man in the world. I say "in theory" because your first challenge will in fact be your country's decline in power. So, what is the reaction of a new America to a new world order?

Since the Obama campaign is telling no narrative at all about McCain, other than in every speech honoring his service, his lead in the polls will continue to deteriorate.

McCain was the preferred candidate of neocons in 2000. His domestic concerns pale in light of his vision of America abroad. In that context, most disturbing may be his enabling attitude to subversion of the government from within.

Randy Scheunemann stands as living, breathing proof of the incestuous relationship between the White House, the Pentagon, defense contractors, Congress and foreign governments: the military industrial complex.

Neoconservatism is about seeing everything as appeasement, no matter the size of the pea-shooter, and making the philosophy fit the crime, regardless of the consequences.

Recent history has shown that John McCain's policy agenda is antithetical to his goals. Regarding the variables that matter most to working families, the neocon experiment was a particularly dramatic failure.
