Politiske partier

The world of online networking and communication has exploded in the last decade. Social networking sites, YouTube, and blogs offer hours of entertainment, but have also become important vehicles for activism.The "netroots," as Eric Boehlert calls this phenomenon, have risen to incredible power, and never has that been clearer than in the 2008 presidential election. Bloggers on the Bus traces the major events that rocked the campaign trail and reveals the stories of the online activists who made it all possible. In the tradition of Timothy Crouse’s essential bestseller, The Boys on the Bus, Bloggers on the Bus goes inside the modern world of liberal politics to reveal the stories and scandals at its very heart. Boehlert exposes just how much influence the online community—and especially the blogosphere—had on the outcome of the 2008 elections. Bloggers have set off an industry debate about journalism and privacy and have changed the face of campaign strategy. This ad-hoc, mostly pro bono, community has been able to change, in telling and significant ways, American politics and media. Colored by vivid portraits and character sketches, this book will reveal the new wave of changes that has revolutionized progressive politics. Like the many passionate reporters and observers who came before them, these men and women are breaking new ground every day. Bloggers on the Bus will chronicle that media and political rebellion as it unfolds and introduce readers to the fascinating players involved.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Barack Obama's lucid vision of America's place in the world and call for a new kind of politics that builds upon our shared understandings as Americans, based on his years in the Senate "In our lowdown, dispiriting era, Obama's talent for proposing humane, sensible solutions with uplifting, elegant prose does fill one with hope."-Michael Kazin, The Washington Post In July 2004, four years before his presidency, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners' minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Obama called "the audacity of hope."The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama's call for a different brand of politics-a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the "endless clash of armies" we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of "our improbable experiment in democracy." He explores those forces-from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media-that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment.At the heart of this book is Barack Obama's vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threats-from terrorism to pandemic-that gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracy-where it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus.Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, Obama says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes-"waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them."

The ?ideal type? is Max Weber's hypothetical leading democratic politician, whom the author finds realized in Tony Blair. He is a politician emerging from no obvious mould, treading no well-beaten path to high office, and having few affinities of tone, character or style with his predecessors. He is the Outsider or Intruder, not belonging to the ?given? of British politics and dedicated to its transformation. Here is a timely critique of Blair's political persona as he presents himself to the British people to be entrusted with a third term as Prime Minister.

Dick Morris is one of the frankest and most incisive political observers in America today. A fiercely intelligent presidential advisor and a popular columnist and political analyst for the Fox News Channel, Morris now brings his brilliant strategic mind to this fascinating survey of the most dramatic political moves in history.Morris identifies five types of power play and focuses on politicians whose careers have skyrocketed after implementing one of them successfully -- or foundered in the wake of misjudgment. He chronicles both the wildly effective and the disastrous, from ideologues like Ronald Reagan and Winston Churchill, who stood on principle and waited for their moment to shine, to the disavowal of environmental issues that, he argues, cost Al Gore the presidency in 2000. The result is an irreverent and enlightening playbook that holds lessons equally valuable to the planning of a political campaign, a business venture -- or even George W. Bush's War on Terror.

One of our most visible, trenchant, and witty political commentators, the author of the bestselling Why Americans Hate Politics, offers a tough critique of President George W. Bush and the Democratic opposition on the eve of a landmark presidential election -- and points to a way out of cynicism and defeatism.With passion, clarity, and humor, E. J. Dionne describes today's political atmosphere as the bitterest he can remember. Never have Democrats been as frustrated by their inability to move the debate. The party of Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Clinton, Dionne says, is lost in pointless feuds, outdated strategies, and old arguments. Democrats have lost track of what they stand for so they don't know what they're fighting for and besides, they've forgotten how to fight back. In describing how Democrats, moderates, and liberals have failed to match Republicans and conservatives in commitment, resourcefulness, and clarity, Dionne invents what is likely to become a popular parlor game among the politically committed. In "The Wrong Stuff," he lists ten futile arguments -- big versus small government, for example -- that Democrats keep having with themselves. "The Right Stuff" focuses on ten arguments they should start making about taxes, business, and the role of government. Dionne zeroes in on how a floundering Bush administration used September 11 to politicize national security issues for partisan advantage. Enraged but intimidated by ruthless opponents, the Democratic party failed to find its voice on security issues and was soundly beaten in 2002. Drawing on some lessons from the 2004 primary campaigns, Dionne argues that anger and frustration have in fact awakened progressives to the need for innovation in organizing, in approaching an increasingly conservative media, and in formulating politically useful and plainly stated ideas. Learning from the conservative movement's successes, liberals have begun the work of reconstruction. The politics of revenge, Dionne argues persuasively, can give way to something better: a progressive patriotism built on hope and optimism about America's role in the world and its capacity to renew social justice at home.

"Udgangspunktet for det hele er naturligvis den eksempelløse succes, Oprør fra Midten har været i løbet af sine første tre måneder. Et salg på op mod 50.000 eksemplarer af en samfundsanalyse, en menneskeopfattelse og en utopi er såre usædvanligt. Og man kan ikke påstå, at bogens anmeldelser hjalp den på vej." I 1978 skabte bogen "Oprør fra Midten" af Villy Sørensen, Niels I Meyer og K. Helveg Petersen store overskrifter. Bogen forsøgte at finde en alternativ udviklingsmodel til de to fremherskende modeller, kommunisme og kapitalisme, og det blev anledning til en enorm samfundsdebat. Flemming Behrendts bog "Debatten om Oprøret fra midten" udkom kort efter og fortæller om det røre, bogen afstedkom. Flemming Behrendt tegner således et skarpt billede af samfundsdebatten i slutningen af 1970’erne. Flemming Behrendt (f. 1939) er en dansk journalist, redaktør, forfatter og litteraturkyndig. Han er uddannet cand.mag. i dansk med kristendomskundskab som bifag fra Københavns Universitet og har udgivet en lang række bøger og artikler om blandt andet kristendom, politik, film og dansk litteratur. Han har blandt andet arbejdet for Berlingske og Weekendavisen, hvor han i 1980 stiftede Weekendavisens litteraturpris. Flemming Behrendt har endvidere skrevet flere skuespil, der er blevet opført på Det kgl. Teater og Det Ny Teater.

From Democratic Party rising star Jane Kleeb, an urgent and stirring road map showing how the Democratic Party can, and should, engage rural AmericaThe Democratic Party has lost an entire generation of rural voters. By focusing the majority of their message and resources on urban and coastal voters, Democrats have sacrificed entire regions of the country where there is more common ground and shared values than what appears on the surface.InHarvest the Vote,Jane Kleeb, chair of Nebraskas Democratic Party and founder of Bold Nebraska, brings us a lively and sweeping argument for why the Democrats shouldnt turn away from rural America. As a party leader and longtime activist, Kleeb speaks from experience. Shes been fighting the national party for more resources and building a grassroots movement to flex the power of a voting bloc that has long been ignored and forgotten.Kleeb persuasively argues that the hottest issues of the day can be solved hand in hand with rural people. On climate change, Kleeb shows that the vast spaces of rural America can be used to enact clean energy innovations.And issues of eminent domain and corporate overreach will galvanize unlikely alliances of family farmers, ranchers, small business owners, progressives, and tribal leaders, much as they did when she helped fight the Keystone XL pipeline. The hot-button issues of guns and abortion that the Republican Party uses to wedge voters against one another can be bridged by putting a megaphone next to issues critical to rural communities.Written with a fiery voice and commonsense solutions,Harvest the Voteis both a call to action and a much-needed balm for a highly divided nation.

Forfatteren og landsretssagføreren Knud Nordentoft (1895-1953) meldte sig ind i Danmarks Nationalsocialistiske Arbejderparti i 1940 og fik ansættelse som partifunktionær. I tre et halvt år skrev han en omfattende dagbog om livet blandt danske og tyske nazister, indtil han blev arresteret i majdagene i 1945. "Forræderens dagbog" bygger på de næsten 1000 dagbogsblade, Knud Nordentoft efterlod sig. For første gang får offentligheden et grundigt indblik i livet ’på den forkerte side’ – fortalt fra dag til dag, mens tingene skete.Knud Nordentoft skriver om det umulige samarbejde med besættelsesmyndighederne, om jødespørgsmålet, om sin frygt for kommunisterne og om sit håb om det tyske gengældelsesvåben, der kunne udslette England. Og han skriver om sit desperate forsøg på at komme i kontakt med de danske kommunister i krigens sidste måneder for at redde sit eget skind.Dagbogen er udvalgt, sammenskrevet og kommenteret af Arne Hardis. idden /title /head body center h1 403 Forbidden /h1 /center /body /htmlArne Hardis (f. 1958) er en dansk forfatter og journalist.

Politisk Parloir - Årbog 2018 I en række dialoger, som folketingskandidat og partistifter TBertelsen har døbt »Politologer«, fokuseres dagens politiske problemstillinger og debat ud fra etiske og eksistentielle synsvinkler. Rækken af Politologer udgør det nye parti »DanskTillid«'s programskrift, og står i stedet for et traditionelt partiprogram. Det, dialogen kort sagt spørger ind til, er, hvorledes vi skal forme fremtidens Danmark, for både det gode personlige liv såvel som det gode fælles samfundsliv. Bd. 1 indeholder otte Politologer (TBertelsens personlige genre), og læseren vil undervejs støde på en bred vifte af klassisk politisk, eksistentiel og litterær filosofi; dvs. tanker, menneskesyn og verdensanskuelser, som kan belyse og fundere: (i) den rette fremtidige danske statsdannelse, (ii) det rette indbyrdes forhold mellem stat og borger og (iii) forholdet borgerne imellem - alt i henblik af det gode, lykkelige borgerliv. Blandt de politologiske temaer er: indvandring, sammenhængskraft, terror, kultursammenstød, danskhed og kerneværdier, burkaen, Grundloven, kontrol- og overvågningssamfundet, den politiske scene, knivstikkeri, statsvold, kirken, homo-lovgivning, halalhumanisme mm.

»Det går rigtigt godt i Danmark« og »Danskerne hører til de mest lykkelige i verden.« Sådan lyder den almindelige trosbekendelse. Næsten for godt til at være sandt - og det er det naturligvis heller ikke.Hvad de optimistiske udsagn derimod afspejler er, at de målestokke, som politikerne og deres eksperter bruger, er blinde redskaber der kun er i stand til at måle rent materielle fænomener.Der er ifølge Eskild Tjalve brug for en dybtgående omtænkning: Herom handler Eskild Tjalves bog Visdomssamfundet.»Vi må i vores samfund genprioritere de fælles menneskelige kvaliteter som hjertevarme og hensyn til hinanden. Der er derfor brug for en grundlæggende ny politisk og samfundsmæssig tænkning, nemlig en helhedstænkning, der rummer både intellektet og hjertets visdom.«(Udklip fra bogen)
