  New Georgia Encyclopedia: John Adam Treutlen (1733-1782)
Treutlen's term as governor was marked by political conflicts between the radical and conservative factions of the patriots.
The radicals were defeated in their attempts to remove the conservative General Lachlan McIntosh from his position of leadership in the Continental army in Georgia when such national leaders as George Washington sided with McIntosh.
Thus, when John Houstoun was elected governor in January 1778, Treutlen dropped out of state politics and returned to Ebenezer to help the community and the people who had provided him with so much during his three decades in America.

By the early 1960s Gomułka was tightening the party's hold on Poland; intellectual freedom was curbed, the church again was a target of government polemics, political rhetoric was infused with an anti-Semitic nationalistic fervor, and renewed attempts were made to have peasants join state groups.
In 1989, Solidarity was again legalized, and it participated in the negotiation of substantial political reforms that led to free elections in the same year.
The strongly conservative turn in Polish politics continued in October when, after a runoff election, Lech Kaczyński, of the Law and Justice party, was elected president; his main opponent had been Donald Tusk, the Civic Platform candidate.

The uncertain political situation on the Korean peninsula influences the future for all of the nations involved in the region and has serious international implications.
This current crisis of the Korean peninsula is not unrelated to its tragic history of Japanese colonization, (1909-1945), the subsequent division of north and south in 1948, and the Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953.
By 1948, in the midst of the superpower politics of the Cold War, the peninsula was divided into two separate nations: the Republic of Korea (ROK) in the south and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the north.

 NOW with David Brancaccio. Politics & Economy. Who's Laughing Now? — American Political Satire | PBS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Although the term satire may describe an entire work, a passage, or a tone, its characteristics are shared: among these, it employs comedy or humor; has a target and an ideal to compare it to; and describes folly or vice in detail.
The many diverse forms their statements have taken reflect the origin of the word satire, which is derived from the Latin satura, meaning "dish of mixed fruits," hence a medley.
In the early 1900's, Will Rogers "drolly expressed his skepticism about industrial technology and corporate capitalism and celebrated the wisdom of the common folk." Politics was a top target for his unique brand of humor, espoused in stage shows, films, and newspaper columns.

Listening to the political class waffle on about the idiocy of the day has become insufferable.
Fournier's greatest dump is repeating the conventional "political class wisdom" that, “Democrats need to gain 15 seats in the House and six in the Senate for control, no easy task in the best of circumstances.” Which is simply plain nonsense.
But now the rub, the Democratic political class sucks, their leadership is both corrupt and inept, and the American people don't really like them.

 Is This Message Really All Right?
It would be odd to agree that the VRA mandates districts drawn for fl candidates and then to excoriate fl candidates when they say so explicitly as part of their campaign strategy.
There is a case to be made that the racial-gerrymandering version of the VRA was a needed corrective to decades of political manipulation.
But there is also a strong political case to be made that race-based districts and appeals to racial solidarity have no place in a society still struggling to remove the vestiges of racism that poisoned it and its politics for generations.

Those powers potentially include what political scientists have described as the powers of a "constitutional dictatorship." No president has ever had to go that far -- although they have come close.
Now, however, it is not difficult to conceive of scenarios where terrorist groups, hell-bent on our destruction and refusing to abide by any known rules of war, could employ weapons of mass destruction or bio-terrorism in a manner that could threaten our existence as a nation.
Of course, the very concept of a "dictatorship" is offensive and inimical to our political thinking as citizens of a democracy.

 Russian Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
The increasing religious and political conservativism that marked Tsar Alexander's later years imposed onerous restrictions on the dissemination of philosophy both in the classroom and in print.
The specifics of the controversy, which raged until 1929, are of marginal philosophical importance now, but to some degree the basic issue of the relation of philosophy to the sciences, of the role of the former vis-a-vis the latter, endures to this day.
Regrettably, politics played as much of a role in the course of the dispute as abstract reasoning, and the outcome was a simple matter of a political fiat with the Deborinists gaining a temporary victory.

This monograph deals with the social and political context of commercial activity in early modern India - a period during which Eastern India (and Bihar) experienced the transition to British colonial rule.
As a point of departure from existing scholarly literature that usually studies this transition in material terms, this volume uses an approach that takes into account the configuration of social relations and political connections within which, it argues, commercial activity was embedded.
Using merchants and bankers as its subjects, this book deals with the structure of trade and banking, the position of merchants in the cultural order and the role of the state in perpetuating this order.

 Homework Hotline - Geography
Human geography places humans in their physical setting; it studies their relationship with that environment as well as their conscious activities and continuous progress in adapting themselves to it (and to other humans) and in transforming their environment to their needs.
Human geography may in turn be subdivided into a number of fields, such as economic geography, political geography (with its 20th-century offshoot, geopolitics), social geography (including urban geography, another 20th-century ramification), environmental perception and management, geographical cartography, geographic information systems, and military geography.
Historical geography (which reconstructs geographies of the past and attempts to trace the evolution of physical and cultural features) and urban and regional planning are sometimes considered branches of geography.
