我老是不理解嚷嚷着平反的人。
平反意味着你承认它是长期legitimate政府，我甚至怀疑嚷嚷平反的人其实是高级黑。

南美国家委内瑞拉的政局本周出现巨大震荡，大批民众走上街头，抗议现任总统马杜罗
。这一事件在中国民众中引起强烈反响。那么，委内瑞拉事件对中国的启示到底是什么
？本台记者王允邀请到《北京之春》荣誉主编胡平和哈佛大学政治学博士顾维群，对此
进行解析。
王允：瓜伊多突然宣布自己出任委内瑞拉“临时总统”，你们觉得这种做法有合法性吗？
胡平：这种做法有一定的合法性，但并不是很充分。瓜伊多是国民大会的议长，仅次于
总统和副总统。当他们能认为现任总统失去合法性，国民大会就做了决议，让瓜伊多来
担任代理总统。
但要真正确定，当然最后还是要通过新的选举。所以，从这个过程来讲，我觉得他是具
有一定的正当性的。
王：很多人认为，现任总统马杜罗已经失去了合法性，顾博士怎么看？
顾维群：合法性是中文对legitimacy的翻译，实际上它是一个政治性的概念，不是法律
性的概念，法律上应该是legality。是不是真的合乎法律呢？实际上，很多情况下政治
变化是不合法的，它是民变。

共的执政业绩到底如何呢？
众所周知，在1949年中共建政以前，由于战火肆虐，外敌横行，中国的国土四分五裂，

Wouldn't it better to take control of the government with that? You know,
when the government ask the army to fight people, the government has lost
its legitimacy and the power is for the taken.
A smart general would not want to miss the chance to be the savior of
people. |

GET RID OF GOVERNMENT -- BUT FIRST MAKE ME PRESIDENT!
June 15, 2011
I consider all Republican debates time-fillers until New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie jumps in, but Monday night's debate did crystallize for me why I
dislike libertarians. (Except one, who is a friend of mine and not crazy.)
They lure you in with talk of small government and then immediately start
babbling about drug legalization or gay marriage.

acknowledged Tuesday that legislation aimed at making U.S. funding to the
United Nations contingent on reforms lacks bipartisan support but said it
was important to make a stand for “the principles that we believe in.”
As she prepares to mark up her bill in committee, Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.)
faces mounting opposition from the Obama administration and advocacy groups
supportive of deeper U.S. engagement with the U.N.

Obama is finished. It's not so much the past six weeks, rough as they were,
as his own actions and responses that have finished him. His showdown with
Congress over the debt limit, which he then ran away from. His
bewilderment at the fact that markets responded to that level of stress with
a serious slump. The lousy job numbers, which anybody but Obama and his
kept economists could have predicted. His insistence on his precious
vacation at a time when the country was deeply sha... 阅读全帖 |

A quotation in the September 19, 1926 edition of the Chicago Tribune
included the following observation on the electorate of the day:
No one in this world, so far as I know - and I have searched the records for
years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by
underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.
Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.
Its author was H.L. Mencken, a noted journalist. Could it be that President

Why is a representative of a terror-linked organization, a defender of jihad
terror groups and an apologist for Islamic supremacism welcome to speak in
public schools?
Back on December 4, I published at my website AtlasShrugs.com the disturbing
news of child abuse in Florida public schools: the Hamas-linked Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was poisoning the minds of high school
students. CAIR was crowing about its propaganda putsch in getting their
party line into hi... 阅读全帖 |

Congressional scholars Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein are no strangers to D
.C. politics. The two of them have been in Washington for more than 40 years.
They came together in 2006 to write a book about dysfunction in Congress,
called The Broken Branch. But their assessment of Congress today is even
more dire — so dire, they've called their new book It's Even Worse Than It
Looks.
Mann, a senior fellow of the Brookings Institution, and Ornstein, a resident
scholar at the American Enterpri... 阅读全帖 |
