A New Season in Ideologically Driven Politics? | Capital Commentary

A New Season in Ideologically Driven Politics? | Capital Commentary by Timothy Sherratt.  MGB: It looks like the sequester is now built into the newest budget agreement.  Now the question will be whether it will have an effect on services to citizens, or will instead lead to buyouts of senior employees and a cut to the training and travel budgets.  I have noticed there is a sharp decline in government job announcements, so I think it may be absorbed.

As for the question of an identifiably Christian movement, I am entirely open to such discussions and have been having them with others.  If we insisted on proportional representation, we might even win a few seats in the majority coalition.  Without such a change, we would have to find some compromise between people who want to stop abortion with criminal law and others who would use economic incentives.  Perhaps we can come up with a marrying of both.  As long as the two parties have a duopoly, however, it is hard to see anything happening until the Republicans talk themselves out of existence on immigration and gender issues.
