The coalition Goldwater helped constitute among libertarians, traditionalists, and anticommunists would dominate American politics for several decades. By 2008, however, the cracks in this edifice had become apparent, and the future of the movement was in clear jeopardy. That year, Ron Paul’s campaign text The Revolution: A Manifesto appeared, offering a broad vision of “freedom” strikingly similar to that of Goldwater, but differing in certain key ways. This book was an effort to reconstitute the conservative movement by expelling the hawkish descendants of the anticommunists and depicting the noninterventionist views of pre-Cold War conservatives like Robert Taft as the “true” conservative position.

  • What Journalists Need to Know About Super PAC
    What journalists need to know about Super PAC ads his is the first presidential election in which Americans will be inundated with television advertisements aired by Super Political Action Committees. Often negative, these ads frequently mislead voters, provide little or no information, are often inaccurate and reveal the media’s unclean hands when it comes to undermining democracy, observers warn. And it’s about to get worse. The Republican Primary is providing only a preview of what voters and viewers can expect in the presidential race. The involvement of Super PACs in the 2012 Republican primary contest has skyrocketed with a 1,600 percent increase in interest-group sponsored ads aired as compared to 2008, according to a study released by the Wesleyan Media Project, which tracks advertising in federal elections. The ads include: • A mini-documentary attack ad against former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney by a Super PAC supportive of rival Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House of Representatives; • An ad calling into question Gingrich’s relationship with former President Ronald Reagan, as well as another featuring former NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw reporting on Gingrich’s ethical problems in 1997, both sponsored by a Super PAC supportive of Romney that is headed by one of his former campaign managers and bankrolled by wealthy hedge fund managers; • Political satirist Stephen Colbert has even gotten in on the act by creating his own Super PAC, giving it away to business partner (and fellow comedian) Jon Stewart so that he could run in the South Carolina Republican primary, and also so the Super PAC could run an calling Romney a serial jobs killer.

(813) 558-1600 FAX NO. (813) 558-1601 Email: [email protected] CAPITAL CASE QUESTIONS PRESENTED When an individual enters a plea of not guilty, the burden of proving every element of the offense is solely on the State. The accused is presumed innocent. The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution demands that counsel for the accused hold the State to its burden of proof. The Petitioner, Jeffrey Lee Atwater, exercised these rights when he entered a plea of not guilty. By doing so, he demanded that the State meet its burden. Mr. Atwater’s trial counsel certainly knew of his not guilty plea and the substantial responsibility it placed on counsel. Mr. Atwater never wavered from his initial plea, never conceded guilt to counsel, and never released the State from its burden. Mr. Atwater proceeded to trial with the belief that the State would continue to have the burden of proof and that his plea of not guilty had the authority that the Constitution demanded. Mr. Atwater was mistaken. Without even consulting Mr. Atwater, trial counsel proceeded to override Mr. Atwater’s decision and jettison his right to hold the State to its burden.

    THE MAN CARD: WHITE MALE IDENTITY POLITICS FROM NIXON TO TRUMP [TRANSCRIPT] WOLF BLITZER: Right now, a historic moment. We can now project the winner of the presidential race. CNN projects Donald Trump wins the presidency. JOE SCARBOROUGH: This was an earthquake unlike any earthquake I've really seen since Ronald Reagan in 1980. It just came out of nowhere. DONALD TRUMP: It's been what they call a historic event. NARRATOR: In 2016, Donald Trump pulled off one of the greatest upsets in American political history, defying both polls and pundits. JOHN ROBERTS: So help me, God. DONALD TRUMP: So help me, God. NARRATOR: Two explanations for his shocking victory dominated media coverage. One was economic and class anxiety. JAKE TAPPER: The Clinton campaign could see white working class voters going to Trump in places like Iowa and Ohio. NARRATOR: The other was racial and cultural anxiety. VAN JONES: This was a white-lash against a changing country. BAKARI SELLERS: We try to find these voters who are economic anxiety voters, but that is not what it is, Wolf. What it is is it's cultural anxiety. NARRATOR: While both explanations were legitimate, they only told part of the story. Yes, Trump won the white vote by a large margin. But a closer look inside the numbers revealed that it was white men in particular, who were most responsible for Trump's success. Trump not only won big with college educated and upper class white men. He won with a record setting margin with white working class men as well.

  • The Last White Election?
    mike davis THE LAST WHITE ELECTION? ast september, while Bill Clinton was delighting the 2012 Democratic Convention in Charlotte with his folksy jibe at Mitt Romney for wanting to ‘double up on the trickle down’, a fanatical adherent of Ludwig von Mises, wearing a villainous Lblack cowboy hat and accompanied by a gun-toting bodyguard, captured the national headquarters of the Tea Party movement in Washington, dc. The Jack Palance double in the Stetson was Dick Armey. As House Majority Leader in 1997 he had participated in a botched plot, instigated by Republican Whip Tom DeLay and an obscure Ohio Congressman named John Boehner, to topple House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Now Armey was attempting to wrest total control of FreedomWorks, the organization most responsible for repackaging rank-and-file Republican rage as the ‘Tea Party rebellion’ as well as training and coordinating its activists.1 Tea Party Patriots—a national network with several hundred affiliates—is one of its direct offshoots. As FreedomWorks’ chairperson, Armey symbolized an ideological continuity between the Republican con- gressional landslides of 1994 and 2010, the old ‘Contract with America’ and the new ‘Contract from America’. No one was better credentialed to inflict mortal damage on the myth of conservative solidarity. Only in December did the lurid details of the coup leak to the press. According to the Washington Post, ‘the gun-wielding assistant escorted FreedomWorks’ top two employees off the premises, while Armey sus- pended several others who broke down in sobs at the news.’2 The chief target was Matt Kibbe, the organization’s president and co-author with Armey of the best-selling Give Us Liberty: A Tea Party Manifesto.

  • Reconstructed: the Populist Revolt As the Cornerstone of Political Development in the American South
    RECONSTRUCTED: THE POPULIST REVOLT AS THE CORNERSTONE OF POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE AMERICAN SOUTH By KEITH E. LEE, JR. A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 ⃝c 2017 Keith E. Lee, Jr. To Ashley ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation would not be possible without the support of my wife and children. Ashley did not fully comprehend what she was getting herself into when I decided to pursue a Ph.D., but she has been supportive throughout the process, particularly this last push to finish which included us moving to a different state and me taking on a full time teaching job with all the pressures of finishing a dissertation. Similarly, though they are not fully aware, my kids sacrificed a lot of time with dad so that he could research and write. I am also deeply indebted to the love and support given by my chair, Professor Larry Dodd. I read dozens of horror stories prior to applying to graduate school about students having a disengaged chair, but Larry was just the opposite. I could not have asked for better support, both intellectually and emotionally, than I received from Larry. His wisdom and guidance kept me focused on the task of writing and he pushed me further than I thought I could possibly go. James LaPlant, once my undergraduate mentor, has become a great friend over the last several years. His constant love, encouragement, and belief in me caused me to believe in myself, which was important as I faced a lot of self doubt throughout graduate school { especially during the dissertation phase.
