Moving Ideas Network America as a One-Party State Today's hard right seeks total dominion. It's packing the courts and rigging the rules. The target is not the Democrats but democracy itself. By Robert Kuttner Issue Date: 2.1.04 Print Friendly Email Article America has had periods of single-party dominance before. It happened under FDR's New Deal, in the Republican 1920s and in the early 19th-century "Era of Good Feeling." But if President Bush is re-elected, we will be close to a tipping point of fundamental change in the political system itself. The United States could become a nation in which the dominant party rules for a prolonged period, marginalizes a token opposition and is extremely difficult to dislodge because democracy itself is rigged. This would be unprecedented in U.S. history. In past single-party eras, the majority party earned its preeminence with broad popular support. Today the electorate remains closely divided, and actually prefers more Democratic policy positions than Republican ones. Yet the drift toward an engineered one-party Republican state has aroused little press scrutiny or widespread popular protest. We are at risk of becoming an autocracy in three key respects. First, Republican parliamentary gimmickry has emasculated legislative opposition in the House of Representatives (the Senate has other problems). House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas has both intimidated moderate Republicans and reduced the minority party to window dressing, rather like the token opposition parties in Mexico during the six-decade dominance of the PRI.

Contra Mundum No. 4 Summer 1992 The American Conservative Party: Beyond Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee by G. Thatcher Darwin The American Conservative Party grew out of the failure of the two major parties to deal decisively with a growing list of crucial national problems. Neither Democrats nor Republicans have shown the necessary determination to cut government spending, reduce taxes, end drug abuse, jail criminals. improve education, punish welfare cheats or halt illegal immigration. Their standard reaction to these critical needs has been to raise taxes, increase regulation, hire more bureaucrats and boost Congressional salaries. Beginning with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal", the Democratic majority in Congress has legislated a bewildering succession of socialist schemes to redistribute America s personal and corporate wealth and substitute bureaucratic control for individual freedom. These programs have siphoned trillions' of dollars from the pockets of U.S. taxpayers and have created an enormous class of permanent dependents who look to the federal government as the ultimate guarantor of all their social and economic aspirations. Styling itself defender of the "disadvantaged", the Democratic Party became first the advocate for, and finally the captive of, a broad array of leftist special interests - the ethnic militants, welfare lobbyists, homosexual activists, Communist apologists. anti-gun cranks, environmental extremists, women's libbers and others for whom Jesse Jackson coined the collective term "Rainbow Coalition". The loyalty of these voting blocs was bought with ever more-extravagant government handouts which can only partially be covered by exorbitant taxes and massive federal borrowing. Mired in this mindset of economic and social permissiveness. the Democratic Party can now offer America neither credible leadership nor a rational agenda for reform.

Questions Reimbursement for College Republicans Lecture The College Republicans hosted a speaker last night that they termed "Jesse Jackson's worst nightmare." Approximately 100 people heard prominent black conservative Shannon Reeves speak in Isla Vista's Embarcadero Hall. Reeves is the secretary of the California Republican Party, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's Oakland division and owner of two inner-city Chevron stations. He took over the Oakland NAACP in 1996 at the age of 27, making him the youngest leader in the division's history. He spent much of his speech explaining how it was possible for him to be both a black man and a Republican. Reeves said he became involved with the Republican Party because, "America is basically a two-party system." Reeves suggested he had to choose one of the two in order to "play the game."
