(neo)reading around

A chasm in conservatism (Cathy Young)
"They believe that the fight against terror calls for desperate measures, and that American power can enable the spread of freedom abroad. But these good intentions have been coupled with an arrogance of power that may yet take us down the proverbial road to hell.".
Democrats Lose if Lieberman is defeated (Peter Brown)
"The defeat of Lieberman, among the Democrats most conservative senators, would again raise the specter of a Democratic Party dominated by a liberal wing unwilling to tolerate dissent.".
Democrats vs. Wal-Mart (Trevor Bothwell)
