Mike Ludwig, Truthout: While the past year has been a roller coaster ride for immigrant rights activists across the country as they clashed with law enforcement at the border and in reform rallies, polls show that being able to live and work without fear of deportation is more important to most than securing a path to citizenship.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/21035-obamacare-and-those-invincible-youngsters

Who Are the Real Obamacare Hypocrites?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/21055-who-are-the-real-obamacare-hypocrites

http://truth-out.org/news/item/21036-american-jihad-2014-the-new-fundamentalists
Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: Imagine what we call "national security" as, at heart, a proselytizing warrior religion. It has its holy orders. It has its sacred texts (classified). It has its dogma and its warrior priests. It has its sanctified promised land, known as "the homeland."
