The page of political links. Some are useful, some are not.
| Commies and Other Radicals |
Radicals want to overthrow the existing order and impose a new Utopian
social scheme for living. The extreme left is shrill and irritating. See
if any of these links irritate you: |
- Despite the spectacular failure of communism in the 20th century,
commies still exist. Get the strangely unrepentant point of view of
the Communist Party USA.
- The International Committee of the Fourth International publishes
the World Socialist Web Site.
- The Village Voice is
probably America's best-known leftie newspaper. It's really shrill.
|
| Liberals |
Liberal ideology is often characterized by using government as a tool
to deal with social problems. A lot of their ideas get downright wacky,
but that's why we've got conservatives to help find the worthwhile ideas.
|
- Working for Change,
a collection of liberal opinion columns.
- AlterNet, a site big on
human rights, drug liberalization, and the environment.
- The blog of Uggabugga, the
ultimate diagrammer.
|
| Reports from the Mushy Middle |
Trying to evaluate things fairly is an unrewarding task. For example,
news organizations have a hard time pleasing anyone in the United
States. And any scientific issue which gets politicized, like climate
change, is doomed to partisan attacks from the beginning. |
|
| Conservatives |
Traditional conservative ideology is usually characterized by the
desire to keep government as small as possible and preserve the status
quo. Sometimes this keeps them from adopting government solutions which
might work, but liberals keep those ideas in play. |
- The website of the Democratic
National Committee, the more left-leaning of America's two major parties.
Prior to the Clinton administration they were better characterized as
liberals.
- Bob Dole is one of the last of
the great Republicans.
- Senator John McCain of Arizona,
who should have been president.
- Arianna Online, the website of
populist conservative Arianna Huffington.
|
| Fascists and Other Reactionaries |
Reactionaries are extremist conservatives who seek to impose a
revolutionary change to take us back to a mythical golden age (often
19th-century America). The extreme right wing is angry, militant, and in
power. If you want to see some really mean-spirited Americans, look no
further: |
- The website of the Republican National
Committee, currently run by fascists who call themselves conservatives.
- The website of the Libertarian Party,
which despite liberal stances against the War on Drugs and the War on
Terror, is fundamentally a reactionary party.
- Antiwar.com is a proudly
libertarian anti-war site.
- LewRockwell.com, the
anti-state, anti-war, pro-market news site of Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr,
president of the Ludwig von Mises
Institute, promoting
the crank Austrian school of economics.
- Fox News, your source for evil.
- Professional liar, hypocrite, and villain
Rush Limbaugh.
