One Nation, Under God
This is why I have trouble taking The Nation seriously, anymore. As I believe one of the New Republic blogs noted, there already is a Department of Peace. It’s called the State Department. The Nation is precisely the kind of leftish New Age rubbish that the Democratic party doesn’t need to be associated with, implicitly or formally. Kucinich may think he’s doing the country a service, but he’s actually more a running joke than Ralph Nader ever was. At least Nader cut his teeth as an influential consumer advocate before running for President. At least Nader emerged as a critic of the two-party system (not that I agree with him on those points. At all.). Kucinich? Why, he was one of the the worst mayors in American history
