The Dangers of One Party Rule

Marxist Hacker 42 writes "Now that the Politics section is up and running, I can submit this story. Back in February, The American Prospect ran a speculative article on The Danger of NeoConservative One Party Rule. A quote: 'Benjamin Franklin, leaving the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, was asked by a bystander what kind of government the Founders had bestowed. "A republic," he famously replied, "if you can keep it." There have been moments in American history when we kept our republic only by the slenderest of margins. This year is one of those times.'"

One of the things I was reviewing was how much damage was done during the Clinton administration. The civil rights violations, while more subtle, added up to being more telling in my mind. A perfect example is the so called Assault Weapons Ban that sunsets Monday. The gutting of the United States Intelligence community and military is another.

We are screwed either way we look at it. There are no great choices right now, only the lesser of two evils. And that certainly is not Kerry.

Only thing I want to know is

Why the fuck doesn't checking the exclude box on the "politics" category in the main page config for my account block these stories? I have no fucking interest in reading propeganda from either side of the arguement.
