2009 is poised to be a big year for the Democrats, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to overlook the GOP here at TWI.

I’m pleased to announce that David Weigel has joined our staff to cover the Republican Party and the remaking of the right.

David is formerly of the libertarian magazine Reason, where, as an associate editor, he covered national politics with an unbeatable tone. He made his mark during the 2008 campaign season, focusing on the impact libertarian candidates and voters had on the presidential race, and he unearthed fascinating stories about the conservative movement.

David’s work has appeared in many publications including Slate, Time.com, Economist.com, Campaigns & Elections (now Politics), The American Conservative, The American Spectator, The American Prospect, The Nation and The Guardian.

He’s an incisive reporter and blogger, and we’re very excited to have him on board.

David is an outstanding writer. He's especially good at covering political activism, campaigns, elections, and uncovering government mishaps.

However, he is anything but “Republican-friendly.” Weigel voted for Obama. He has continually blasted libertarian efforts within the GOP. He's been especially critical of the darling of libertarian Republicans, Sarah Palin.

Please do not try to present him as offering balance for your otherwise fine on-line publication. David has admitted repeatedly that his allegiances lie mainly on the left, and with the Democrat Party.

David,

I'm the author of the Apostate Theory. Send me a mailing address and I'll post you a copy. Maybe it's not as crazy as it appears?

Mr. Pat

Most Respectfully, plrase submit This Most Patriotic and Faithful Message also personally and specially to Our Most Dear David Weigel. Thank you!
OUR “MOST BELOVED” AMERICA’S MOST CROOKEDLY EVIL ANTI-AMERICAN “CORPORATISM”!
Most Respectfully, This Most Earnest Patriotic Appeal was also submitted to almost all of The Heads Our Churches and to almost all of The Presidents and Provosts of Our Universities – “personally”!
UNIVERSAL PSEUDO-CORPORATISM!!!
This Most-Loving Prayer was also addressed to Pope Benedict XVI – Most Faithfully!
THE WORST CRIME, EVER, AGAINST ALMIGHTY GOD’S HUMANITY – FOREVER?
(In True Honor to Dr. Martin Luther King’s Most Patriotic Legacy!)
The Nucleus of Our Whole World’s Ever-Growing Suicidal Nuclear Crisis is created by No Other than the most Defrauding and Most Greedy Ultra-Conservative and by the most Ultra-Libertine Politico-Religionism everywhere – Universally! Our Whole World has no True Religion anywhere!
The Nucleus of The Most-Dominant Over-Ambition of Our Universal True Atheism is none other than The Most Voracious Globally Inhuman “Corporatist” Economic Exploitation; all by the most Extreme Global Disregard to The Most Fundamental UNIVERSAL HUMAN LITERACY and also to The Most Fundamental UNIVERSAL GOOD-SAMARITAN HEALTH INSURANCE. These two together Indeed Constitute ALMIGHTY GOD’S TRUE UNIVERSAL ELEMENTAL DEMOCRACY’S Most Vitally Essential Means for TRUE INDIVIDUAL EQUAL OPPORTUNITY to reach THOSE INDISPENSABLE ALMIGHTY GOD’S INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTAL HUMAN GIFTS (RIGHTS), NO-MORE, NO-LESS!!!
All of Our Vast World-Wide Perpetually Shackled – AS ILLITERATE AND INFIRM – HUMANITY in Our Western World is ever more and more so “CRUCIFIED” as threatened with impunity by instilling in them “Our” Religionist-Inculcated Utmost Fear of “GOING TO HELL” if they have “NO FAITH” – that is, if disobedient to “Our” Politico-Religionist False “Leadership”; as just like telling them “THEIR ‘HEAVEN’ IS LIVING IN OUR SATANIC EXPLOITATION”!
Our Totally Politico-Religionist Western World has always even tried to expand Our Most Voracious Greedy Corporatism to Our Islamic Eastern World’s “Friendly” Governments, but I most-strongly suspect that Islamic Religionism has an opposite but Equally Religionist-Inhuman Self-Defense: when Our Western Corporatist Inhuman Intervention reach their Eastern Critical Religionist Level – as in Our Unending Warring Perplexity with The Islamic World – Their Islamic Religionist Counteracting General “’Inspiration’-To-Go-To-Heaven” is no other than Their Ultra-Terrorist “Salvific” Individual Self-Immolation!
ALL OF THESE, FOR SURE SO FAR, ARE THE IRREFUTABLE PORTENDING SYMBOLISM OF A-MOST CERTAIN-NUCLEAR ARMAGEDDON: THERE IS NOT THE SLIGHTEST DOUBT ABOUT THE CERTAINTY OF THE WHOLE WORLD’S TOTAL HOLOCAUST! MAY WE TRULY PRAY, SO THAT WE ALL – TRULY AND SOLIDLY HONEST AMERICANS – REALLY ENABLE THE ALMIGHTY GOD TO BLESS (SAVE) OUR MOST BELOVED TRUE AMERICA!!! OTHERWISE, ANY OTHER “CRIME” OR “ABORTION” IS AN INNOCENT BY-PRODUCT!!!

Most Reverently, please submit This Most Patriotic and Faithful Message also personally and specially to Our Most Dear David Weigel. Thank you!
OUR “MOST BELOVED” AMERICA’S MOST CROOKEDLY SATANIC ANTI-AMERICAN RELIGIONISM!
Most Reverently, This Most Earnest Patriotic Appeal was also submitted to both All The Presidents of The Universities, and to Their Provosts – submitted to both personally.
UNIVERSAL RELIGIONISM !!!
This Most Loving Prayer was also addressed to Pope Benedict XVI – Most Faithfully!
This is about The Most Criminal, World Wide, RELIGIONISM – Ever!
All that Our Whole World has ever needed – and still presently needs, foremost and more than ever – is A TRULY AMERICAN National Incorrupt Reevaluation!
“HAPPY HOLIDAYS”!!!
“MERRY CHRISTMAS”!!!
“HAPPY NEW YEAR”!!!
“HAPPY NEW CENTURY!!!”
ALMIGHTY GOD’S “NUCLEAR” WORLD’S TRUE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY; THAT IS, UNIVERSAL INDIVIDUAL EQUAL HUMAN OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE ALMIGHTY GOD-GIVEN HUMAN RIGHTS (HIS “BEST” “GIFTS”), – NO-MORE AND NO-LESS – shall never exist for us in “Our America”, and in our “Free” “Nuclear” World, UNTIL BOTH MOST CRUCIAL GOD’S DETERMINANTS – UNIVERSAL FUNCTIONAL LITERACY AND UNIVERSAL “GOD-SAMARITAN” HEALTH INSURANCE – are Legislatively COMPELLED (CONSTITUTIONALLY) as a Fully-Punishing TRULY HUMANITARIAN CRIMINAL LAW; that is, until Our Insatiable Ultra Filthy-Wealthy CORPORATIST “American” Government so give The True Example, OF SUCH A SACRED UNIVERSALLY HUMAN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, for the sake of Our Most Exploited and Most Suffering Illiterate and Sick “American” World!
Almighty God did not write HIS BIBLE just to “Inspire” The Implacable Religionist “Sacrosanct” Church-like Corporations of This World to use IT as toilet paper – that is, to use IT as Such a Globalized, Religionist, Materialist, PIOUSLY MUM, AND SO ULTIMATELY EQUALLY SUICIDAL-TERRORIST, SUBLIMINAL INHUMAN EXPLOITATION!
Why “THE TRULY UNIVERSAL CHURCH” – as “FREE AND SEPARATE FROM THE STATE” – NEVER TAKES ALL OF THESE, AS ITS TRUE DAILY PREACHING INITIATIVE – AS ITS TRUE RELIGIOUS LEADERS DID BEFORE???!!! BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ANY- MORE “THE TRUE SERVANTS OF ALMIGHTY GOD” (AS THEY SO “FERVENTLY” CLAIM) BUT OF THE GOVERNMENTAL “MOST COMFORTABLE” RAPACIOUS CORPORATIST MOST INHUMAN WORLD POLITICS OF EXPLOITATION!!!
WHY ABSOLUTELY NOBODY SAY ANYTHING – SPECIALLY AT THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTIONS’ TIME — ABOUT DENOUNCING AND UPROOTING ONCE AND FOR ALL OUR EVER ANTI-AMERICAN AND ANTI-DEMOCRATIC MOST SHAMELESSLY “HIDDEN” EVER HIGHEST LEVEL OF OUR WORLD’S ILLITERACY AND LACK OF “GOD-SAMARITAN” MOST BASIC HEALTH INSURANCE!
THE TRUTHFULNESS EVER MISSING IN ALL OF OUR POLITICAL SPEECHES PRETENDING TO “HONOR” OUR MOST BELOVED AMERICA – AND MOST SORELY MISSING FOR OUR SALVATION – IS THE TRULY POLITICAL AND TRULY RELIGIOUS TRULY DEMOCRATIC INSPIRATION!
WHY ARE WE SO SILENT AND OBSTINATE?
MAY WE TRULY PRAY THAT WE ALL TRUE SOLID AMERICANS REALLY ENABLE ALMIGHTY GOD TO BLESS (SAVE) OUR MOST BELOVED TRUE AMERICA!!!
OTHERWISE, ANY OTHER “CRIME” OR “ABORTION” IS AN “INNOCENT” BY-PRODUCT!!!
