There's something totally crazy about this.

Donald Trump is american neo-fascist. The word "neo" meaning "new", has a lot to do with it, a new kind of fascist in our culture, dealing with an authoritarian demagogic point of view, nativist, anti-immigrant, racism, bigotry that he appeals to.

The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context.

Even at the end of a presidential election campaign, we have no way to know what Mitt Romney really believes.

For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norms, even our cultural ideal.

The American Revolution and Declaration of Independence, it has often been argued, were fueled by the most radical of all American political ideas.

Radical thought has inspired many of the great political and social reform movements in American history, from ending slavery to establishing the minimum wage.
