Ryanism is "killed" and what has replaced it is a toxic mix of racism and anger that is worse than Ryanism. Rob Portman isn't going to be POTUS, Donald Trump is. (And Portman is a Heritage/ balanced budget guy/ establishment type BTW.) The hatred he unleashed is really bad. Please don't say that Trump's appeal is based on "economic populism." A large portion of it is hatred of the "Other," especially those with different ethnicities, religions, and races. This is a bad thing for both the GOP and those who believe in reform conservatism, which Frum does. It is going to be really hard to start a genuine reform con movement now that it is wrapped up in racial grievances and associated with Trump.

Regarding: "In authorizing regular use of the older Mass, now referred to as the "extraordinary form," now-retired Pope Benedict XVI was "magnanimous" toward those attached to the old liturgy, he said. "But it is an exception."" - Now the societies and congregations of clerics who dedicate themselves to saying the mass in Latin according to the Tridentine missal of John xxiii or to the Latin missal of John Paul II need to think about the charism of their communities. That is, is the educating of clerics in the use of these missals, that is, spending an inordinate amount of resources, detracting these communities from the customary and normal work that the Church needs done?

Not mentioned here is widespread voter disenfranchisement by gerrymandering, which is the drawing of voting district boundaries in such a way that minorities and their preferred parties are segregated geographically, in effect removing those votes from important elections where in fact those voters have a real interest in the outcome. The solution to the gerrymandering fraud is to take the drawing of district boundaries out of the hands of political operatives. For at least a decade, computer applications have existed that can draw district boundaries in a politically impartial way. The reason we don't do that now is that neither party wants to lose that powerful political tool.

I'm a Unitarian, Nathan, and we welcome those from a variety of beliefs and religious backgrounds--and also value human interaction highly, as we do acceptance and avoidance of (Old Testament) negative labeling. So while I disagree with your church's positions, I really appreciate your reaching out and attempting to expand the dialogue. Quite often, over a beer, people are able to find common (interpersonal) ground. Unfortunately that doesn't change the devastating multi-century effects of official religious institutions' positions on women and (all types of minorities). As Dr. King believed, the "Arc of history inevitably bends toward justice" (especially for women and all minorities). You may be a decent guy. Your church has some doctrines that aren't, and finding out--over a beer--that you're a decent guy won't change that.

Both of your views on the Christian church have truth. There is no doubt that religious affiliation has been used for very human objectives of great, power, wealth, even pathological anti-social behavior. It's also true that Christians have supported programs for the poor where none existed, worked hard for women's suffrage (and used against it as well), no doubt supported the equality of the races while at the same time was used to justify slavery. My hope would be that readers do not jump to conclusions about those who are Christian, or Muslim, agnostic, atheist. We might very well share many moral/ethical values with ourselves, so creating barriers to understanding weakens a potential alliance. Leave the Johnson ammendment alone. It does nothing to inhibit the choice of faith practices.

Ms. MacKay, Ask a Canadian resident if they would rather pay to Ottawa a 2% yearly income tax rate or if instead they would prefer to pay a 20% yearly income tax rate. You'll get the same answer every time: They would prefer to pay the 2% income tax rate. To which any reasonable observer would say "so what"? The fact of the matter is that Ottawa sets policies with larger concerns in mind than merely trying to align with the average Joe's mercantile wishes. And so the federal tax rate is much nearer 20% than 2%. You speak of loopholes. Are you kidding me? Our present system's loopholes are why the most expensive parts of Vancouver, houses 4 million a pop, are owned in large part by POVERTY-LEVEL income (roll eyes) housewives and university students. Guess where the money comes from. You claim my proposed property-tax approach would merely benefit lawyers and fail. Sorry, you have ZERO data and ZERO evidence to prove your claim because the approach has NEVER been tried here.

Being ranked #103 in the U.S. News publication doesn't make the UO elite, there's no debate about that. But if you're a "glass half full" person, I guess you could make the case that the UO is technically "above average" in the entire list of schools ranked by the U.S. News. The fact that the UO shares #103 with U of Alabama, most well-known for its football program, U of Tennessee, known for its football and women's basketball programs, and Illinois Institute of Technology, known for... well, I don't know what it's known for, should be of rather alarming concern to the UO administration. The UO has cited its ranking in the Princeton Review and its membership in the Association of American Universities as indications of its elite status, however, there are other more substantive and meaningful indications of a school's elite status, such as the number of Nobel Prizes and Laureates, Rhode Scholars, Pulitzer Prize winners, and Oscar and Emmy winners from your school.

Look, there are some sites that make it clear that they will tolerate no dissent (e.g., Church Militant, DailyKos), and I don't have a problem with that. But Jim Martin is a Catholic Priest who is promoting ostensibly (and I believe actual), if implicitly, anti-Catholic rhetoric. If Martin wants to hold himself out as the new Martin Luther, as opposed to legitimate Catholic priest, then I am ok with his censoring other people.

Agreed, bad officers need to be removed-- like a rotten apple before spoiling the whole barrel. The City of Everett did that when the police chief fired officer Troy Meade after he shot a drunk driver in the back eight times. Requiring officers to wear video cameras is a good way to provide evidence. Then there is the controversial pardon of former sheriff Joe Arpaio. In today's Herald, there is a letter by Phil Beardsley of Lake Stevens "Can't violate rights of a non-citizen". He falsely assumes non-citizens have no constitutional rights. Mr. Beardsley apparently never read the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which clearly states any "person" is entitled to equal protection of the laws and is entitled to "due process" just like a citizen is. Joe Arpaio was a "bad apple" who needed to be removed.

The author correctly explains the problem inherent in following your passion when you do not yet know yourself. However, following passion to guide your career is a terrible idea regardless of your age or how well you know yourself. There is never a good time to do this. Attaching passion, something so integral to your sense of self, to the task of paid employment binds your self-worth to a set of economic relationships that do not exist for your benefit and can dispose of you at any time. Having a calling is essential to leading a good life. But attempting to develop that sense of calling in relation to what you do for money puts a big part of your identity in the hands of people who do not care about you, have no loyalty to you, and do not have your interests at heart. It is much better to do work that accords with your conscience and to spend the rest of your time becoming the kind of person you want to be, rather than trying to square the circle of passion and worldly imperative.

Bob, When I was a kid, I was a klutz when it came to the "ball sports." I was the last pick when it came to baseball, football or basketball. But I excelled at swimming and competed from junior high through college. And I still swim. I credit a regular workout in the pool with helping me endure the long work days and challenges I faced as a TV News Photographer at KEZI and KVAL. If the corporate owner of two of our three local network affiliates hadn't "downsized" my position, I feel that I have easy done my job well into my 70s with the energizing benefits I have reaped from routine swimming. Now that you've worked up to a mile, you should seek out someone who could provide you with a few pointers about technique. Improving even a slight alteration in how you position your head (when turning to breathe), arms, hands and legs as you move through the water can really enhance your endurance and enjoyment while swimming laps. I have a contact for someone who could help.

Our CIA created, trained and armed ISIL and Al Qaeda. It's not what you own, but what you control. Our policy of creating chaos denies others control of lands we consider strategic, either for location or resources. After enough chaos and suffering the people will accept whatever strongman we back, e.g. Egypt. It's all part of Brzezinki's "Great Game." You and I and all those millions of people left dead or in refugee camps are merely pawns for the elite, to be used or sacrificed for strategic gain. The aim of the advocates of a "New World Order" is total control and power. The road to Moscow runs through Damascus. We have over 1000 bases around the world, encircling Russia and China, our only two obstacles to hegemony. As Ramsey Clark said, "There is only one thing the rich want, and that is every thing."
