Calhoun the Marxist?

By Brion McClanahan

Neo-conservatives can’t seem to make up their mind about the Confederacy. They all agree that the Confederacy represented everything evil about early America (which places them squarely in league with their intellectual brothers on the… »

A Deep Devotion to the Constitution by Brion McClanahan

Calhoun's Place

Why Conservatives Still Share a Tent with Calhoun by Scott Galupo

The combox will probably be populated mostly by those who object and self-righteously hurl invectives against Calhoun and racism and those who dare look to Calhoun as any sort of source of political thought.

White Elephants: Are Republicans an Endangered Species?

That leaves what might be called the Calhoun option. More popular at the local level than with the national party, at least publicly, this strategy involves legal changes that would limit the influence of the coming majority, which is younger and less white. Some of these measures have been justified by concerns about widespread electoral fraud that are mostly sincere but have no empirical basis. Others are explicitly political. For example, it’s a feature, not a bug, that plans to split states’ electoral votes by congressional district give rural votes greater weight than urban ones (and we know who lives in cities).

So will the American bishops and Catholic institutions work with states to block Obamacare so that at least the Church will be protected in some areas? Or will they just play along with the rules of the nationalist system so that they can act the martyr?

Because of the latest developments, it once again appears that it might be better to support the Grand Oligarchy Party even though it gives scraps to social conservatives, because it at least won't be as radical as Obama if it controls the executive. Though there is no reason to think that the party will resist changes coming from any of the branches of the National Government. It will undoubtedly continue to promote oligarchy and as a result, pave the way for further destruction of economic freedom and community.

Is there a way to get around the requirements of Obamacare by changing labor contracts, so that employees are more like contractors or consultants?
