Quill Sword: Cutting through the hopelessness and nonsense. Political analysis and commentary with a focus on providing the tools to control government, all the stuff they should have taught in school, but didn't. It's not hopeless. You're not helpless. Government isn't some intractable monster. Government is just a horse with a lot of bad habits and you can teach it to do better. That's what Government BY the People is all about - people governing their government. Join us three days a week for a little commentary, a little education and a lot of snark - who says politics can't be fun?

Democrats: Leadership Versus Base 13.10.2021 8:51
The Democrats are in a precarious position between an insane but influential wing of the party that has been allowed far too much leeway to be reined in now and an increasingly disgruntled base. That the Democrats even entertained, let alone tried to enact, a policy that attacks the union membership, is convincing proof that the leadership is not only out of touch, it's lost the whole plot.
Happy People Will Lie About You Once You're Unpopular Day! 12.10.2021 7:15
Truth is, the Democrats already committed political suicide - the party is just taking its time dying. This is nothing new - it's called a party system shift. Occasionally, one or both parties collapse - this is why none of us are Whigs. It's not a pleasant thing - especially if your party is collapsing - but it's far from the end of the world.

Like it or not, we are the new sheriff in town
Who Controls What the Kids Can Think 08.10.2021 8:37
That's the incredible value of the 'free marketplace of ideas'. It let's us take them for a test drive, see what works and what doesn't, tinker with them a bit and then either drive them home - or test out a newer model. Some, like the need for freedom and justice, we keep under the hood all the time. Others, like ducking under the covers every time other nation-states say boo, we have mostly disc...
The Virus Didn't Wreck the World - Politicians Did 07.10.2021 7:41
. It's never easy to own a mistake - when that's a political mistake that cost hundreds of thousands of people their jobs NO ONE wants to admit to that. Ever. The media provided the hype to cover the lack of good research and the absolute trash of public health response; politicians doubled down on failed policies in order to look like they were getting something done.
The Slow Collapse of an Administration 07.10.2021 6:16
No popular support, no effective support in the courts, no real support in either House of Congress - the only thing this administration has going for it right now is occupancy.
Where Are The Remaining Stranded Americans? 05.10.2021 3:50
The current administration claims that only about 100 Americans are still in Afghanistan and in hiding. Rescue organizations on the ground place the number near to 1000. Which estimate is correct is immaterial - the question is what is being done by the Biden administration to secure the safe return of the Americans the administration stranded behind enemy lines?
Science? What Science? 02.10.2021 5:59
Has anyone else noticed that the science ceased to matter about five months ago? It's not coincidental that this sudden shift away from 'follow the bouncing science' occurs just as the first indications were coming out that there were major problems with the vaccine
Coming to the Party 01.10.2021 5:45
It's people - not governments and corporations - that matter and it's people who can and will change things.
The Post Authoritarian World to Come 30.09.2021 9:03
From a public health policy standpoint this entire set of interventions have been a fiasco - what happens when they come to an end?
We Pay for This Homeland Security Department Why, Exactly? 29.09.2021 5:35
The Secretary of Homeland Security made some extremely embarrassing admissions - why are we tolerating this level of incompetence?
Can the US Survive Biden? 25.09.2021 9:06
We made it through a civil war, two world wars and the Seventies but can we survive three more years of Biden?
Failure isn't a Bug; It's a Feature for the Biden Administration 24.09.2021 6:20
Nine months in the Biden administration has nothing to show for its efforts other than failure on an epic scale.
Journalism Is Dead: The Media is Not a Good Replacement 23.09.2021 5:43
Journalism in the legacy media is six feet under. But the art of real journalism is still there.
