Monday, July 29, 2002Sorry I haven't posted in quite awhile. The website is undergoing an intense overhaul thanks to Netscape 6.2's inability to render DHTML properly. Things will change, albeit not radically. NATURAL LAW BACKS THE PLEDGE: My op-ed defending "one nation, under God". We'll see how many people misconstrue this to be a Talibanizing of the Constitution. F-16 PURSUES UNKNOWN CRAFT OVER WASHINGTON: Now this is interesting. . .

Yarbrough Teddy Roosevelt is back in fashion these days, especially among a group of maverick conservatives. Political theorist Jean M. Yarbrough asks us to take another look at Roosevelt to judge whether conservatives, and all Americans, should regard him as a model. Those who celebrate Roosevelt, Yarbrough argues, overlook the racialism and imperialism of his early politics and the demagogic and anti-constitutional language of his Progressive crusade. Read articles Lipset's Big Question By Nathan Glazer Throughout his distinguished career, political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset has been preoccupied by a single, great question: Why did socialism never rise to power in the United States?
