“Democrats should resist the urge to try to win over Republicans by echoing their arguments. The party needs to converge on a fresh set of ideas for providing real relief to struggling Americans and to promote those ideas with clear, consistent and compelling messaging.”

Julian Zelizer, author of IN DEFENSE OF PARTISANSHIP for The New York Times Opinion Section

His determination to be deeply involved in congressional politics has been one of his greatest weapons. It can also be his greatest weakness.

“In the space between bipartisanship and hyper partisanship, there is a wide-ranging world of responsible partisanship within which congressional Democrats can operate.”

Julian Zelizer, author of IN DEFENSE OF PARTISANSHIP, on the power of partisan polarization for The New Republic

Democrats don’t want to replicate the hyperpartisan style that has characterized the GOP. But there’s a lot of space between that and caving.

Historian Timothy Shenk, author of LEFT ADRIFT, on how the Democrats can move forward, for The New York Times Opinion Section

The New York Review of Books reviewed Adriana Carranca’s SOUL BY SOUL: The Evangelical Mission to Spread the Gospel to Muslims

In the wake of the September 11 attacks, evangelical American missionaries followed military tanks into Afghanistan and Iraq to convert Muslims as part of a holy war.
