Australian politics has a new emblematic issue, a different moral center. It has nothing to do with ideology. It is race: the politics of identity, of Aboriginal rights, and the obligation to face a murky and cruel history...
...Senate agriculture committees cleverly tacked food stamps onto farm bills to solidify the support of urban legislators. But when Republicans seized Congress in 1994, promising a revolutionary age of fiscal conservatism and free-market capitalism, they vowed to gut command-and-coddle farm policies that they compared to Soviet communism.
