The New Republic magazine was, appropriately, the stimulant that last week gave the Democratic base a frisson of anticipation about a possible Elizabeth Warren presidential candidacy in 2016. Now in her 11th month as a Massachusetts senator, she is suited to carry the progressive torch that was fueled 99 years ago this month by The New Republics founding.
Its first editor was Herbert Croly, whose 1909 book The Promise of American Life Theodore Roosevelt read it, rapturously, during his post-presidential travels is progressivisms primer: The average American individual is morally and intellectually inadequate to a serious and consistent conception of his responsibilities as a democrat, so national life should be a school. The exigencies of such schooling frequently demand severe coercive measures, but what schooling does not? And a people are saved many costly perversions if the official schoolmasters are wise, and the pupils neither truant nor insubordinate.
Today the magazine, whose birth was partly financed by a progressive heiress, Dorothy Payne Whitney, is owned by Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes. Warren, a scourge of (other) economic royalists, and especially of large financial institutions, is a William Jennings Bryan for our time: She has risen from among Harvards downtrodden to proclaim: You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of derivatives.(continued)

Warren is for voters who think that Hillary is not communist enough.
Liars & Losers. Has dishonesty and an absence of integrity become a badge of honor? bill klintoon and dope-rah will both be getting the Medal of Freedom. Do we live in an insane asylum?????
That either of these two people are even spoken of in regards to the Office of the President shows this Country is already down the toilet...
If you see Axlegrease, Gibbs, and Plouffy lined up in Squaw Warren’s tribe, that will signal she’s running as Baraq’s third term.
“Little known fact: Lizzy Warrens indian name, Fauxcahontas Fakajawea, translates into Practiced Law Without License.”
That’s better than Obama who practiced law without passing the bar exam.
I honestly think that is the issue with Obama’s sealed transcripts. He strikes me as a somewhat intelligent but lazy schmoozer. I bet he received his degree with an incomplete and took the bar exam without having finished the actual degree. He then didn’t go back and complete the degree which means he wasn’t qualified to take the exam because he didn’t meet the qualifications.
I don’t think Obama actually graduated
She will be our first Native American—NO! I think one one should be a president unless he has served as Governor of a state—and done a good job of that!
When is the Feral gov't going to get outta my life?
She an Indian and Bill Clinton is a virgin.
Really puke worthy. The woman is a loon.
Scott Brown has more chance of being president than the Indian outlaw.
I agree!
Hillary can’t win because she has the stink of Hillarycare. This is the same reason Romney lost — Romneycare. People want someone to end Obamacare. But Warren has even less chance of winning.
What if they run as a team?
Regarding Warrens claim she is part American Indian, was there ever a DNA test? My belief is they can determine what percentage her ancestry is of north or south American Indian.
Or is this the equivalent of obama’s birth certificate.
If the US were ready for a team of two similar candidates, Mr. Obama would’ve picked Jesse Jackson, Jr., Deval Patrick, Corey Booker or Colin Powell as his running mate.
How nice! A piece about a fake Indian written by a fake conservative.
Americans who are black are less than 10% of our population. Females are over 50% of our population. Warren runs as a socialist. Hillary runs as a seasoned, middle-of-the-road Democrat.
...Baraqs third term.
***
Accurate phrase.
Liz Warren will be a foil, to help Billary look “moderate”
