I fear I've been neglecting John Rogers

to whom I'll have to relinquish my title Old Whig, if I don't shape up soon. I once said that I haven't found anybody that I completely agree with, but this guy... He handles the news better than I do (though that's not entirely my gig), and I especially like what he says here about Cuba and the nature of government:
Once again, we find that economic "rights" are more important than the Bill of Rights in the hard left's thinking. If it means rewriting history and ignoring modern events to get that belief across, so be it.

The hard left is composed of fanatical devotees to the false religion that Marxism has become. It's got its myths, like the belief that wealth can be created by a confiscatory state that seizes wealth and uses it for the public's benefit. Or the idea that my neighbor's riches must have been taken from my pocket. The Marxist religion has saints who have done no wrong: Castro, Che Guevara, and Trotsky come to mind. And, of course, it calls for the subversion of the individual to the struggle, and it has a promised land of a socialist utopia.

Of course, Marxism has proven unworkable every time it has been tried throughout history and in every region of the world. This does not sway the believers: Marxist economic theory just needs some tinkering to work. The dismal data of the experiments? They can just be written away, as liberal journalists are attempting to do with Cuba.

But Marxism is unworkable because it is the concentration of power in the hands of a centralized state. History is clear that the dilution of power, to more people and to more types of people, is more successful in improving human rights and standards of living.

So, I've added him to my blogroll.
I've also added the titles Whiggarchy (rule by Whigs, which I define as those who seek to minimize the use of force on innocent people), Isonomy ((n.) Equal law or right; equal distribution of rights and privileges; similarity. BrainyDictionary) - under which I've placed SCOTUSBlog (SCOTUS stands for Supreme Court of the United States for those new to wonkdom) and the Volokh Conspiracy; and Fraternity. And, in case you don't get my use of those terms, the first two replace Liberty and Equality in the French Revolutionary slogan "Liberte! Egalite! Fraternite!" I can't think of anything wrong with "fraternity". The other two terms are too vague to base a political program on.
