Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."

This is well within the copy-right posted on the blog it was taken from...

Another example of how our collective witness to the muslim world has fallen short in practice, though those in power spin things in their own favor...

DLW-

No more entire articles please. Just the URL. I've asked you several times. If you can't post the URL and give a one paragraph summary, then you're out of luck. I don't really care anymore if the copy-right laws allow you to do so. Let's not debate that point again. No more cut-n-pasted articles. You're looking at a temporary ban if you continue this practice. Time to change.

It should depend on the copyright law of the original post. I checked at political aims and they did not have anything that said it couldn't be reposted.

Say it with me, DWL...

R-E-G-A-R-D-L-E-S-S of the copy-right laws, don't cut-and-paste whole articles on our discussion site. Summarize them in your own words and give us the URL. That's it. If somebody reads the article and wants to engage you, you've got your sparring partner and you won't need the entire article posted here. If nobody reads it, it's because they're not interested, in which case your posting the entire article is eating up space.

Do you get it? Will you comply?

please forgive me, I misunderstood the board's policy.

I thought the problem was with copy-right infringement rather than reposting of articles and other posts.

Most important articles lose a lot of info if you summarize it and debates too easily become only bluster when they abstract from the important details of an issue.

DLW: I thought the problem was with copy-right infringement rather than reposting of articles and other posts.

ataraxia: Posting copy-righted material IS a problem. It's just not the only problem.

DLW: Most important articles lose a lot of info if you summarize it and debates too easily become only bluster when they abstract from the important details of an issue.

ataraxia: You're a highly intelligent and articulate guy DLW. Nobody will worry that an article will suffer from your briefly summarizing it. Trust me, those interested will take the bate and go read the article. If a discussion gets going and you need to quote a sentence or two or a short paragraph from the article to prove your point, no problem.

Peace,
