I still post very regularly about Christian social justice and social change. I also post about ethical internet marketing and white hat search engine optimization that reflect more Christian oriented values at my Creative Fusion SEO blog from Nashville, TN.

You can check out the organization’s website here at My Commitment.org. Alternatively, I think Volunteer Match has an easier interface to navigate, so it might suit you better.

“Don’t Taze Me Bro” The political ramifications of the Andrew Meyer incident on college campuses like UCLA

compassioninpolitics — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 04:57:23 +0000

I ran across this YouTube video of a rather huge student protest at UCLA about the police brutality issue. It troubles me that one of the speakers decides to use the word “neo-nazies” to describe hate groups. I’m afraid it says more about American society’s numbness to phrases like “hate speech” than it does about his individual choices. Very passionate and compelling rhetoric. What do you think of the second speaker’s rhetoric? What do you think of the original Andew Meyer event which took place at the University of Florida? What does the event say about our culture?
Thoughts?

(sorry this site doesn’t allow you to link to individual posts, so just scroll down to post with UCLA in the title)

What does Progressivism stand for?

compassioninpolitics — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 15:28:47 +0000

Progressivism stands for increasing accountability and decreasing corruption in the service of democracy. In short, it is about speaking truth to power and giving that power to the people. They stand for giving real workers across all economic spectrums rights and protections. Do you believe in progressive politics? Who do you think best stands for progressive politics? How can we push progressive politics forward?
