The one place that some of us meet up with conservatives (who are our adversaries, and whose ideology is the problem) is the idea that some sort of democratic government would be ultimately beneficial for the people of the Muslim world. We just differ on the question of whether invading their countries on false pretenses and occupying them is a legitimate or effective means to that end.

In Iran this week they're spending a lot of time and energy making our lives harder. These people even make flag-burning look bad. ]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2006 09:26:51 -0800 http://www.marchingorders.org/C1716473776/E20060207092651/index.html http://www.marchingorders.org/C409134134/E20060206125007/index.html Note the new night (Monday) and the new location (Dalva).

Because his corporate livelihood might well be endangered by expression of liberal views, I must choose for him a pseudonym. With a nod to our shared Indian heritage, I will call him the Rude Pandit. ]]> Wed, 01 Feb 2006 14:26:01 -0800 http://www.marchingorders.org/C1742339614/E20060201142601/index.html http://www.marchingorders.org/C1742339614/E20051029153808/index.html Sat, 29 Oct 2005 15:38:08 -0700 http://www.marchingorders.org/C1742339614/E20051029153808/index.html http://www.marchingorders.org/C2012786599/E20051028115609/index.html From the Alliance for a Better California: ]]> Fri, 28 Oct 2005 11:56:09 -0700 http://www.marchingorders.org/C2012786599/E20051028115609/index.html http://www.marchingorders.org/C1401708297/E20051028115259/index.html Fri, 28 Oct 2005 11:52:59 -0700 http://www.marchingorders.org/C1401708297/E20051028115259/index.html http://www.marchingorders.org/C1742339614/E20051028104702/index.html Fri, 28 Oct 2005 10:47:02 -0700 http://www.marchingorders.org/C1742339614/E20051028104702/index.html http://www.marchingorders.org/C1742339614/E20051004114450/index.html A nice catch from our occasional (not always voluntary) contributor Steve, who writes: ]]> Tue, 04 Oct 2005 11:44:50 -0700 http://www.marchingorders.org/C1742339614/E20051004114450/index.html http://www.marchingorders.org/C2012786599/E20050928100237/index.html The allegedly pro-choice Governor of California has just come out in favor of Proposition 73, a ballot measure that would make abortion illegal for minors unless their parents were notified in advance. ]]> Wed, 28 Sep 2005 10:02:37 -0700 http://www.marchingorders.org/C2012786599/E20050928100237/index.html http://www.marchingorders.org/C1401708297/E20050927101754/index.html Tue, 27 Sep 2005 10:17:54 -0700 http://www.marchingorders.org/C1401708297/E20050927101754/index.html
